Re: the album: Well, to be fair, I didn't even know it existed until Saturday night, so it's not like I had huge expectations. ;) And it's not unlistenable--for me, music is attractive about 80% for the sound and 20% for the lyrics, and the sound of this is generally good--but the whole is just...not as good as their earlier stuff. Eh, I'll live.
Bwahahah. You know you want to.
I...kind of do. This is disturbing to me. I used to be all about the fluff until I got into this fandom. Susan's pessimism is contagious!
or it could be as simple as Susan being briefly tempted, and then the same thing we'd talked about with the near-death happens and she's jerked out of it and realizes "wait a minute, these fuckers were totally screwing with me, Delenn is worth the risk, and OMG I've got to go save her" or whatever.
Yeeeeessss, I think I may have to do that. And this is entirely from Delenn's POV, so it can all occur offstage while she's in her near-death coma and Susan can just tell her after the fact. (Or rather not tell her, just say that she understands the Shadow/Vorlon philosophy now, and Delenn figures out exactly how she came to understand it, 'cause she's smart like that.)
I also like the idea of Susan saving Delenn! Currently, in the scene I haven't finished writing, I have Delenn in a bar in Downbelow waiting to meet one of Marcus's informants when she gets set upon by Humans with a grudge about her looks. I was going to just have her start a fight in order to get out of there and have it not go well, but I could perhaps work it into a longer abduction that requires Susan to charge in with the cavalry. Though I kind of feel like I've neglected Delenn's awesome so far in favor of concentrating on Susan's as she takes up the mantle of Co-Savior of the Universe (Delenn is very proud of her protege/soul mate), and maybe I should try to tip the balance back to Delenn for a while by having her win the fight, but get near-fatally injured in the process.
Decisions, decisions.
But I'm seriously going to love love love this fic no matter what you direction you take it in. I know you'll do good things, I'm just excited to see what. ♥
\o/! Thank you. :)
BTW, another snippet, 'cause a comment you made totally inspired this scene (this is not the whole scene, but the rest of it isn't ready to be seen by anyone else yet before some serious revision):
It took her several days to fully recover from her ordeal with Sebastian. Just when she thought the effects had passed, a muscle would twinge or a nerve would misfire.
Susan, too, was affected for a while after it was over. She never showed it to a casual glance, but Delenn could tell from the set of her jaw or the slight crease in her forehead that she was, at times, in pain.
On the other hand, when he left the station, Sebastian's cane was no longer an affectation.
