B5 Fic Rec

I have to admit, I'm finding it a bit difficult to read Ivanova/Marcus fic. The unrequited quality of their relationship is just so perfect, I hate to shatter it with fic that actually puts them together. However, I did highly enjoy what we saw of them before "Endgame," and have been wanting some fic that features their snark and/or Marcus driving Susan absolutely nuts. The following two by Samuraiko fit the bill perfectly, and are OMG funny: Coffee Stirrers and Karmic Debt - Marcus decides to expand his organizational chart into three dimensions, much to Ivanova's annoyance. In the sequel, Susan gets to see exactly what he's been working on.
(I also read JMS's short story "Space, Time, and the Incurable Romantic," and...okay, part of me went "awww," but a larger part of me went, "If, about ten minutes after this story ends, 'Susan' doesn't realize exactly what he's done and give him HELL, I will be most unhappy. OMG CREEPY." Which, I guess, is part of the point. Ack, though. Ack. *shudders*)
Hmmm. I need to make myself a Marcus icon. I have none. This is a sad thing.
