On the other hand, when he left the station, Sebastian's cane was no longer an affectation.
Excuse me. I have to go flail with glee for a few minutes. ♥ Oh, Susan - you totally make Sheridan look like the biggest wimp in the universe.
The decisions like whether to have Delenn require rescuing or just injured are always soooo hard in writing stuff like this. I've been plotting (...in a very vague sort of way...) to write a sort-of-AU-thing for NaNoWriMo this year, and... dear god, sometimes I get my head twisted the wrong way 'round over the stupidest little questions. For what it's worth, I think this fic will work well either way - you can always find another moment to show Delenn's strength, if you like, or you can always just go for Susan saving the day because, hell, she's good at it. Or the saving-Delenn angle in that moment can be more subtextual than outright-plot. It's a good story, it'll do well.
And yeah, B5 brings out the angst-whore in us all, I think. It's just natural for the series - it's hard to make anything totally fluffy seem right in their universe, much as we all may wish it to be.
