last best hope for bedtime

Because the current Miss America is unable to fulfill her duties, I got tapped at the last minute to be this month's B5 person for [livejournal.com profile] crack_van

The longest overview in the world is here, and you won't believe what I had to cut to keep it that, ahem, short. But anyway. B5 recs, all June, with your very own Sab at the wheel!

So -- who's got some recs for me to look over while I'm foraging through my bookmarks? Any great B5 fic I might have missed?

So. Much. FF.net. To read. *sigh*

Oh no! I still have 36 episodes to go. But if I leave work now, and blow off everyone and everything, I can be ready for the Month of Sab-B5 by Saturday.

36 hours, pfft, that's a day and a half, you can do that easy. *g*

I'm loving your episode commentary, by the way.

I haven't read B5 fic in ages, but I always rather liked this one (http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=14).

Looking forward to the recs!

I rec this every chance I get, because I am amazed at the writer's audacity in trying (and succeeding). It's Delenn/Lennier/Sheridan, Valen help us.

This Susan/Marcus dark AU by the same author is beautiful as well:

Oddly, they aren't archived anywhere but her site, which is not so easy to find.

elfin's Sheridan/Garibaldi stories are among my favorites:

Emily Brunson's Sinclair/Garibaldi stories are classic, but also hard to find - the only place I've found all of them is at her yahoo group.

And then there's blast furnace:

And this very pretty Marcus/Neroon story:

I'm curious to see what you come up with, and if you rec anything that I haven't been able to uncover yet.

I just read your summary, and it was awe-inspiring. You are amazing.

Here's another one I wanted to suggest: Flowers in the night, a short but gorgeous Susan/Marcus piece.
