Title: Life in a Glass House
Specs: Babylon 5, Susan and Delenn, 1600 words
Summary: Susan sees Delenn for the first time after the Chrysalis.


( “Why didn't anyone tell me she was out?” she demanded. )

Off the top of your head, does anyone know the episode(s) Delenn talks about the prophecy that leads her to believe she's supposed to go through the Chrysalis, and that right soon?  I poked around the Lurker's Guide earlier but since that site isn't great with actual plot summaries I did not find what I was looking for.  I'm pretty sure it's last S1, obviously, but I'd like to rewatch those scenes before I write something.

Title: Alma Mater
Specs: Babylon 5, John/Delenn, 12150 words
Rating: PG
Previous Chapters: One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight

Author's Note: So it's been a solid year since the last time I updated this.  Sorry about that.  I'm so glad I finally came back to it, though; I'm very happy with this chapter, and I hope you enjoy it as well.

Title: February 14, 2259
Specs: Babylon 5, John/Delenn, 3100 words
Rating: PG

Disclaimers: I fudged the timeline to make their first date happen before Valentine's Day - canon purists to the left.  Also, most of this was written while I was sick with a stomach bug and in bed with swarming cats who are always like "I have never seen a laptop before MOUSE CORD MOUSE CORD MOUSE CORD excuse me while I step on all the keys MOUSE CORD" so if there are typos, excuse my beauty, and if you find John a little "aw shucks" and Delenn a little overwritten, well, those who expect quality fanfiction, also to the left.


( She was all stars and symphonies when he looked into her eyes again. )

I saw a picture not too long ago, a cap from the show.  At least I'm pretty sure it was a cap and not a publicity still.  Anyway, it was Delenn in profile sitting at the table in the wardroom in her green/brown dress.  She was on the edge of her chair leaning forward with a hand to her chin.  I'd REALLY like to have that cap for a picspam I'm working on, but I have no idea where that picture was (and I have no idea why I didn't save it) or what episode it's from.  Is it ringing a bell for anyone?

Here it is!  Mila knew exactly what I was talking about; four for Mila.

Does anyone know the actual episode so I can cap it myself?  Looks like late S4.  ALL OF MY QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED.


In other B5 fandom news, I am trucking along on the next chapter of Alma Mater.  In doing the WIP meme, I found that I had written about 1000 words on Chapter Nine before just abandoning it.  When did I post Chapter Eight?  In February of 2011.  :|  So THAT'S a horrible thing to do with a WIP, for real.  My goal is to finish it up this weekend to have ready to post next week - we'll see how it goes.  I'm really happy with it so far, and had an apostrophe epiphany while writing about how to make the climax more exciting and more thematically-relevant, as well as tie it all in better with the high school AU theme.

(Sometimes I think about how I am not only writing a high school AU, I am writing an epic novel-length high school AU, and I just have a "look at your life, look at your choices" moment.)

First up, some icons and a wallpaper for ghanimasun.

Horribly sappy B5 John/Delenn drabble under the cut.  writerverse is doing a weekly drabble challenge, which is where the prompts for this week and last week's drabbles came from.  (Seriously, "in the shadows"?  That prompt was made for B5.)  Unfortunately, I'm not really feeling the other prompts this week, so just one this time.  430 words, PG.

So I just went crazy and friended like a bazillion people at cartography's B5 friending meme!
