Oh, now you've just made me all the more intent on getting you to do so! :D
You'll be happy to know that we watched the episode your current icon is from last night. In context, the line made me snerk quite a bit.
It's rather a lot like how I look on Aragorn and Arwen from LOTR (OH GEE, I WONDER WHY THAT MIGHT BE?); the destiny is cool, but I'll just be over here caring a lot more about, I dunno, Eowyn and Faramir or something.
It is a pretty apt comparison, isn't it? :P I think what makes me more interested in Delenn and Sheridan than I am in Aragorn and Arwen is... honestly, we get more of them together. I like the way their relationship develops. And in the early ones, I do like how insanely obvious Delenn is about courting Sheridan, while he's so clearly confuzzled by the whole thing. ♥ That said, part of this built up because I kept writing stuff about Lennier and Delenn, and... Sheridan kept creeping in. I love them best as an awkward triangle, particularly when I can lean on how totally screwy their relationship (all three sides of it) really is underneath the 'destiny.' It's more like if, before and after they were married, Eowyn was hanging out in Minas Tirith and... I don't know, working as the captain of Araogorn's guard or something. ...Obviously the analogy kind of falls on its face somewhere around here, but I'm slightly tempted to write that AU, now.
