Yay, you liked it! I was a little worried that as far as birthday presents go, it's not exactly a cheerful one, but since it was lying on my hard drive nearly finished and since it was your birthday... I thought you'd want to see it *g*
A little mysticism is a dangerous thing.
One of the reasons I couldn't make this fic work to begin with was that I kept trying to write it from Lennier's POV. I thought Delenn would be a lot tougher to write - and she is, but as soon as I switched to her perspective, it all started working. Lennier can't just borrow bits and pieces of mysticism to justify whatever he wants to do anyway, but Delenn can - and while I really don't like seeing her rationalise what she's doing here in that way, I suppose it's no worse than her using prophecy to justify anything else she does.
