Re: being made uncomfortable by Sheridan's manipulation but not by anyone else's ... I dunno, it makes me feel a bit squodgy too, and I think it is because he is Totally Doing The Right Thing. Like, Sinclair obviously delights in being tricksy, and Delenn is that way all the time, but it doesn't even occur to Sheridan that what he's doing is potentially skeevy! Which is what makes it skeevy? Something like that.
Hilariously, although I am deeply uncomfortable with Delenn/Lennier, if you propose some third person to also be on that ship, I am suddenly ALL OVER IT. The addition of Neroon makes me clap like a happy seal.
Also, I laughed so hard at your paragraph about Minbari society. They do have a Dry Ice Chamber of Vision-Having and meet in spotlights in a darkened spaceship room! Oh Minbari. <3 I love that you are around to have enthusiasm for the Minbari, because then I get just as excited about them as I am about the Centauri and the Narn, and it is an alien party!
