(You know, after she - not some Earth jock - sacrifices herself at Z'ha'dum and gets resurrected by her friends against her will, they have this torrid affair which allows her to feel again...)
*bursts out laughing, scurries off to find it*
Oh, that's brilliant! "We are all Giles." I love it.
Okay, seriously now. If they had an affair pre-War it would give additional emotional subtext to both Neroon's anger and bitterness early on and later to his decision to join with Delenn to end the civil war, and then to die in her place.
It would, wouldn't it? The plotbunny just grew to the size of a giant ground sloth - I must write this. Trying to work out what Neroon would be like pre-war could be tricky, though, when so much of his actions in the show were determined by the war and the surrender order. Hmmmm.
Really, what surprises me is that there is no Delenn/Neroon out there yet, but that Neroon/Marcus is.
I think there's Delenn/Dukhat out there (which very much squicks me, although Delenn/Lennier doesn't at all - I think that's because we only ever see Delenn and Dukhat interacting when she's still very young and in awe of him, plus he calls her 'child'), and Delenn/Marcus (Which. Is. Just. Wrong.), but I've never seen any Delenn/Neroon except one AU. This fandom has the darndest gaps in its pairings...
Well, you have to allow for changes through a millennium, and, as the Sinclair novel indicates, different legends developing around Valen.
Ah, yes. I liked the part in To Dream in the City of Sorrows where Neroon mentions the Minbari theological squabbles over 'a Minbari not born of Minbari', and the way some scholars translate it as '...not born on Minbar.' I think they're more like humans than they want to admit.
