In 'Caught', I love the way Lennier thinks the look between Delenn and Sheridan means something innocuous, like "I wish I was anywhere but here", when it actually means that Sheridan wants to bend her over the bed and fuck her senseless. I think the story captures his naivety really well.
'Saying Goodnight' is just amazing and so hot! I don't think I've ever read a story before where I was crying with laughter one second (because "Personal lady part lubricant" will never not be funny) and in need of a cold shower the next! And the line "He was falling, falling in a way he hadn't fallen ever before, not with a slam of passion to his gut or with a giddy sort of rush, but in an almost inevitable way, the feeling of coming home after a long absence" just sums up their relationship so perfectly for me. And John finding the whole thing more erotic because Delenn is pretty much fully clothed is lovely and ties in so well with canon, since Delenn doesn't really show much flesh, yet John constantly seems to touch her like he can't help himself.
In 'Getting Lucky' I love the idea of the pilot with the massive crush on Ivanova - its totally my head-canon that all of the people who work for Ivanova are probably simultaneously deeply attracted to her and yet totally terrified of her! I also love the way Delenn messes with John's head by feigning ignorance of certain phrases and the line "“John, are you going to put your mouth on me or not?” is just brilliant!
