With thanks for giving me the opportunity to write things I wouldn't usually write and that none of you asked for Byron.

By my reckoning I have two hours in the next two days when I won't be at work or asleep, and the total time of tidying the house plus packing to go home plus obligatory frantic search for keys/wallet/camera/phone/shoes usually adds up to at least three. Little time left for messing about with LJ, anyway. So I'll just post this early.

deborah_judge, you wanted Delenn/Lennier?

Title: Sunlight
Disclaimer: Babylon 5, and everything on it, belongs to JMS
Rating: R
Note: Takes place during The Very Long Night of Londo Mollari, with apologies if I've messed up the chronology - my Season 5 videos have long since been lost to grainy static and a failure to write "DO NOT TAPE OVER THIS" clearly enough on the label.

Sinclair's Five Things That Never Happened To..., which grey_bard was interested in seeing. And will quite possibly be horribly disappointed in, now I've re-read this. It's... patchy.

PG-13. Sub-chapter-titles are Tennyson quotes, poem in Thing 1 is A. E. Housman (you can have too much Tennyson), things 3 and 4 go together. Should be fairly easy to work out which alternate bit goes where. And if Thing 1 seems a little confusing in light of the Sinclair/Valen thing, I tried getting about five different explanations in, but it felt really clunky, so feel free to think up your own. (Ditto with certain Delenn stuff.)

( I wasn't kidding about the 'patchy' thing. Really. )

Started life as the fifth-season sequel to Elements of Consolation, that I said I'd work on ages ago. I've been working on this for a while (and then deleting it, and then working on it again, and then getting angry with it and upset with it and scrapping the whole thing, and then working on it again, and...) for a while now, and more recently I've been using it as angst overspill for the AU WIP I'm working on (one of the reasons for the title).

Deborah, I'm afraid it's not brilliant as a birthday present, especially if you've not been having a great time of things. But here it is anyway, in super-sparkly wrapping paper to try to cancel out Minbari angst.

Title: Aside
Pairing: D/L. (Oh, pretend to look surprised.)
Rating: R. I think R. However, while it's not as graphic as it could be (still pretty graphic, though), it's squicky on about eighteen different levels. 'Angst' does not cover this. Just so you're warned.
Disclaimer: JMS owns all - except the poem, which is A. E. Housman's. I'm just borrowing and will put them back in one piece.
Notes:
1. This exists in the same universe as my fic 'Elements of Consolation', although I don't want to call it a sequel. (A possible sequel, maybe.) It takes place somewhere after 'Atonement' but before the end of Season 4.
2. I know, I know, the only Minbari prophecy we hear about comes from Valen, and he was very particular about time and place. But there had to be Minbari prophecy before that, and I wanted to make it different from Valen's, just because it would be nice if the Minbari had something of their own that the Vorlons hadn't messed with yet. (Because it's not like Minbar degenerated into messy civil war after the Vorlons left, or anything...) (Oh, hey, look - 'Valen' and 'Vorlon' are very similar words, aren't they? How did I never notice that before?)
