memory
for @b5-minvember
content warnings: family separation, mentions of parental abandonment, implied systemic homophobia, cult indoctrination vibes (because Psi Corps)
summary: Chloe Ford dreams of her life before the Corps.
Sometimes, Chloe wakes up in the dorm blinking away tears, grasping at threads of a quickly vanishing memory.
In her dreams, Chloe Ford— Chloe Neely— lives in a little house in the Scottish countryside, with two men whose faces are foggy and distorted, but whose voices are still perfectly clear to her even after all these years. She’s young, maybe four or five, running through the house in a sparkly green dress with iridescent stitched-on butterfly wings. One of her dads catches her, spins her around gently, and oh, she can feel his love for her, as truly as she can feel her own.
“You're it!” he playfully shouts, squeezing her tight before setting her down. “Now, let's see how well you can find me.”
She giggles, confident that she'll find him in no time at all. She's good at hide and seek. Really good. All she needs to do is just follow the background hum of idle thoughts he doesn't even know he's broadcasting. She counts to ten, then she's off, following the trail as best as she can, until…
…just know they'll find any excuse to take her away from us…
She pauses. She knows her dads love her very much. She knows that they aren't able to have children of their own, so they wished for it really hard and asked the right government agencies really nicely and eventually, when she was too young to remember, she was given to them. They've told her that plenty of times. So why would anyone ever take her away?
…there's no way the Psi Corps will ever let us see her again if they take her…
And that's when her heart drops into her feet, and she remembers that this all happened a long time ago.
“Daddy?” Chloe calls, and suddenly she's not in her body anymore, she's watching as the hallway darkens and becomes longer, and then black-gloved hands grab her arms and pull her into the dark. Into…
Into wakefulness.
She sits up slowly and opens her eyes, feeling them wet with tears that she wasn't awake to remember crying. Why was she crying? She loves it here. She has a great time every day with all her friends, under the watchful and gentle eye of her cadre mother, Miss Isabela. I don't belong with them anymore, she tries to tell herself. The Corps is Mother, the Corps is Father.
<Are you okay?>
Now everyone in the dorm can tell I was having a nightmare, she thinks to herself, concealing it carefully. Stupid. <I'm fine, Milena,> she answers. Milena is one of her best friends, even if they're technically all supposed to care about each other equally. She'd arrived and been assigned to Chloe’s cadre only a year after Chloe herself, and they'd become close friends just by virtue of being the two newest arrivals.
<You were dreaming about your old life again, weren't you.>
Guilty as charged. <Yeah,> Chloe says. <I know I shouldn't.>
Milena projects support and something that almost feels like solidarity, which Chloe instinctively shies from before accepting it. <It's okay. I do sometimes too.> A burst of bitter laughter comes through their telepathic connection. <Which is crazy, because my birth parents didn't even want me after my telepathy came in.>
<Yeah, well, my dads did,> Chloe replies, making it clear just how much she doesn't want to hear it. <They loved me. They wanted me, and they wouldn't have just given me up.>
<But they did.>
<Because the government made them. Something about failure to report…> Chloe feels herself beginning to cry again, and wills herself to stop. It’s unfair. Out of everyone she knows with family outside of the Corps, hers are the only ones explicitly barred from having anything to do with her. Everyone else's, like Milena’s, simply don't want to. <They're not like your birth parents. They didn't stop loving me when they found out I was a telepath.>
There is silence for a while before Milena responds. It's clear to Chloe that she doesn't understand— that she can't. She had nothing to lose when the Corps found her. Chloe, meanwhile, lost everything. <I'm sorry,> Milena offers, <for what it's worth. They sound like great people.>
<They were,> Chloe answers.
<Promise me you'll tell Miss Isabela about the dreams?>
She wants to make that promise. She trusts Miss Isabela more than anyone. But she's hesitant… even more since she doesn't feel like she's allowed to be.
<Yeah,> she agrees. <I'll do that tomorrow morning.>

Made this with pen and paper for a comics class I took! Very thinly veiled metaphor for neurodivergence. Might make more with the character in the future.

a non-binding poll about which fanfic I should buckle down and finish out of my closet full of unfinished fic now that Yuletide is mostly done and dusted (note: some of these are more in progress than others, but all have at least been started so they're not new things I'll start and abandon okay) (also i reserve the right to be super inspired by something—e.g., something Agatha Harkness shaped—or whatever and let inspiration jump the line, but yeah i honestly love all of these stupid little stories i've started and am curious whether anyone would even read any of them were I to finish any of them):
okay I think those are the main options that I might realistically work on, but please do not think this is my full WsIP list or anything like that. p.s. feel free to ask any questions about these since poll word limits made the descriptions delightfully short and vibes-based.
update: I can't edit the poll, but it's obviously "John dies, Susan takes over." also apparently I can't see the results without voting so one vote for the first item is just me. voting for the first thing listed. so I can see the results on my own poll. not a real vote. okay. thank you for your attention.

Chapter One - The Breakup
“Ah, no,” I giggle, gazing up at G’Kar, he’s propped up against the headboard, staring down at me, “You were the one making goo-goo eyes at me, Ambassador G’Kar.”
G’Kar scoffs dramatically, “No, little library mouse,” he shakes his head, refilling my goblet with the too sweet and far too strong wine, “It was you making eyes at me. Every time I came into the archives, you were there.”
I snort and move to my knees keeping the sheets against my chest as I maneuver myself and settle onto his lap. He stares up at me, his hands settling on my thighs, “That’s because I work there. It was you who showed up at my place of employment on the daily. Looking for books.”
G’Kar rolls his ruby eyes and I smile, “Fine, I will concede. I didn’t need a single book.”
“What did you need then?” I prod, leaning in and pushing my nose against his, “If not books? In a library?”
The hum of Babylon 5 fills the silence - the neverending rumble of 250,000 bodies living together in the middle of nowhere space. I smile down at G’Kar - momentarily stilled by his beauty until his voice pulls me from my thoughts, “I think you know what I needed, Dove.”
“Tell me.”
G’Kar presses the tip of his finger to the hollow of my throat and slides it down to the soft sheet I have pressed to my chest, “I wanted you,” he says, eyes flicking back up to mine as he pushes the sheet to my belly. He leans forward and nuzzles into my sternum pushing my tits up to his face, inhaling deeply, “All of this.”
“Just my body?” I tease, running my fingers over the ridge of his brow, “That’s all?”
He groans and pulls back, his hands remain on my chest, thumbs teasing over my nipples. His eyes struggle to pull away from them. He’s been obsessed, since we met, with my chest, my nipples - finding great joy in making them pebble and stiffen beneath his tongue, “Of course not,” he grins, “I love you for your mind and your heart and your,” I squeal when he flips me onto my back and settles between my legs, planting a loud, sloppy kiss on my clit, “And this, too.”
“Oh, thank goodness,” I say, hooking a leg over his shoulder, “I thought you were going to say you loved me for my sparkling personality.”
“You make me young, again,” he says, chin on my thigh, gazing up at me.
“You’re not old.”
“I am old,” G’Kar winks, pressing his lips to the inside of my thigh, planting a neat trail of kisses and red marks up to my center. I prop myself up on my elbows, watching him.
“I love you, too.”
He pauses and looks up at me, a soft smile on his face, eyes shining, “All of me?”
“Yes, all of you,” I grin and he narrows his eyes, waiting for the impending punch, “Plus that big, fat, lizard cock.”
G’Kar roars in faux offense and I am lost beneath his mouth, arching off the bed, his name on my tongue, echoing off the walls of his chambers. His chin presses against my entrance as he laps at my slick and teases my clit. He hoists my legs over his shoulders and holds me tight to him, moaning against my flesh, “You are the sweetest fruit,” he sighs against me, “My most rare nectar.”
“You’re dramatic,” My words are a wheeze as he sinks two fingers into my pussy.
“For you? Yes.”
He returns to his work and I fall back onto the bed - smiling and sinking into every second of the moment, reveling in being pinned down and fucked by a god. I stare up at the stars beyond the iron paned windows. The emerald leaves of his Naarn gardens hang over the edge of the bed, the forced air acts like a breeze and they whisper as they watch us. Fruits and flowers tinge the air sweet and G’Kar’s incense floats above us in smoky, wispy tendrils. G’Kar lifts my ass and his tongue slips down the length of me, prodding at me entrance and I gasp, back arching as he fucks me with his mouth. I shake with control and can feel him smile against my pussy, “Not fair,” I breathe, scrambling to get away from him, “You know I like - oh fuck,” the wind is punched from my lungs as G’Kar pumps two fingers into me, lifting his face, eyes hooded as he watches me come on his fingers, “I need you,” I gasp, over and over, “I need you. I need you.”
G’Kar nods, “I am here. I am yours.”
The rest of the night is like all the others - from the moment we met - together. Completely. G’Kar’s cock keeps me close to him, the soft barbs hooking into me, his cum numbing the sting of it until I’m grinding on him, begging for more. And he lets me have it - as much as I want until he has to carry me to the hot baths. Even there, he is gentle and attentive and sees to every part me - cleaning me from my hair to my toes. Feeding me fruit and meat until I’m asleep on his lap, head nodding in the crook of his shoulder.
And like every other night, he’ll carry me back to bed and there we’ll sleep, G’kar pulling me close, his cock prodding at my ass - begging for more. Both of us too tired to move; grinning at the incessant need between G’Kar’s legs, “Ignore it,” he whispers, raking his fingers through my hair, “My earthling needs her rest,” I start to mumble something about being ready to start again and I am silenced with a kiss, “Rest.”
The morning comes too soon and G’Kar is gone but, a mug of tea steams on the bedside table and there is a bit of chocolate and a sliced apple on a lovely, porcelain plate. I hear voices in his office and I slide out of bed, pulling on my robe and tying it tight around my middle, taking the mug with me, cupping its warmth in my hands as I walk, “G’Kar?” I call - surprised to have not been woken by him, at least, kissing me awake. His favorite method of morning greetings is to fuck me awake and send me off to the archives smelling of him, grinning like an idiot and stumbling on wobbly legs.
“Your nighttime proclivities are bleeding into your daytime duties, Ambassador,” Na’toth’s voice is sharp, “It is undone to have a Naarn official bedding a human. It is a disgrace to have him housing with one,” her tone drips venom - though I am not surprised, the sting of it still settles in my chest.
“Na’Toth,” G’kar sighs, “It is nothing. She is certainly not housing with me.”
“It does not appear to be nothing. She is here nearly every night. The nights she is absent, so are you.”
I shouldn’t be listening. Whatever Na’Toth has to say about me to G’Kar is between her and G’kar. But still, I am planted to the ground; bile rising in the back of my throat, nausea rolling in my belly, “She is a fling. When I tire of her, which I will, she will be gone. It is nothing.”
“She is nothing,” Na’Toth states plainly.
“She is nothing,” G’Kar confirms her sentiment. The mug of tea falls to the floor and I step back, the hot water smarting on my feet as G’Kar steps through the doorway, “Dove? I did not know you were awake.”
“I am,” I stare up at G’Kar, eyes stinging as tears blur my vision.
“You heard me,” he says, it isn’t a question so much as an acknowledgement of the damage done. I nod and turn, realizing I have a long way to walk back to my quarters - I panic as I try to find my clothes, scattered across the floor, “Dove, please.”
“No,” I shake my head, my voice barely above a whisper - the knot of emotion too thick to speak.
The doors slide shut and I am alone with G’Kar, “Dove,” he says, stepping forward and I scoot around him, “Dovey, please.”
I shake my head again - if I speak, I’ll sob and I won’t let Na’Toth hear it. I dress quickly as I can and slam my hand against the door release - they slide open and there she is, shoulders square, triumphant grin on her face. She opens the outer doors and I step out into the busy hallway, swiping at the tears streaming down my face. I’m halfway home before G’Kar catches me, his hand on my arm, spinning me around, “No,” I say through gritted teeth, lip trembling, “Leave me alone.”
“Dove, I didn’t mean it,” he says and I want to believe him; his eyes shine and his handsome face is marred with panic. He looks around and then steps forward, lowering his voice, “I love you.”
“You can’t even say it without making sure someone doesn’t hear you, G’Kar.”
“It is true,” he says, “Dove… Dovey,” he uses the sweet nickname for me, his tone pleading, and I scoff, “I love you. But it is not done for you and I to be… public.”
“You weren’t in public with Na’Toth, just now,” I snap, turning and resuming my trek to my quarters - I just want a hot shower and a stiff drink except I turn and poke my finger into G’Kar’s chest, glaring up at him - damn him for being so big, “You could have told her anything else but you said that.”
“Dove,” G’kar sighs, shoulders sagging, “It is Na’Toth - I said it to sate her, nothing more.”
“As if I don’t hear you every day, G’kar,” I sob, shaking my head, “I know well how you feel about humans. I’ve ignored it. I didn’t care. Surely what you and I have… what we had… surely that was different and wonderful and,” I stare up at him, his own eyes swimming with tears, “It wasn’t, was it? Just another toy to play and use and when you grow tired of me, you will toss me out with the rest of them, right?”
“Dove, that isn’t at all what,” G’Kar steps forward and I step back, “Dove, that’s not what I meant.”
“Please,” I sniffle, drying my face on my sleeve, “let’s not draw this out any longer than we have to.”
“Good, come back with me. Now.”
I scoff, shaking my head, “No. I’m going home. We’re done.”
“Dove.”
“G’Kar.”
“Ambassador,” Na’Toth calls from the end of the hall and G’Kar closes his eyes, sighing. He turns to her, “You will be late for your meeting.”
I’m halfway down the hallway before G’Kar turns back around, disappearing around the corner before he can stop me. I run directly into Michael Garibaldi, one of my best friends, and he catches me, brow furrowing with concern as he takes me in, “You good?”
“I… I just,” I start, staring up at my friend, “No,” I shake my head, “I’m not. I just need to get back to my place.”
“G’Kar?”
“We’re done.”
Garibaldi stares at me for a moment, brow furrowed, and then nods, “Go on,” he says, G’Kar’s voice - calling my name - echoes off the walls, “I’ll distract him.”
“Thank you,” I kiss his cheek and leave him there.
“Woah there, big guy,” I hear Michael say, turning another corner and heading up to the dormitories.
Down the hall and around another corner, I can’t control the tears and I run straight into another chest, this one quite a bit taller than me. Two strong hands catch my elbows, “Ambassador,” I sniffle, staring up at Londo Mollari, “Apologies,” I mumble, trying to step away.
“What has happened?” he asks, brow knit with, what I think is, genuine concern, “Who has done this? No angels cry on my watch.”
I shake my head, “Domestic relations.”
“Ah, the Narn,” he nods, stepping away and giving me a curt bow, “I will see to his demise immediately, I will avenge you.”
I snort out a laugh and shake my head, “Thank you.”
“So I will kill him?” the Ambassador straightens, straight faced and serious - I panic.
“What? No! No, no, no,” I shake my head, “It’s just a breakup. No need for a death battle.”
“Very well, I won’t kill him,” Londo nods, looking sorely disappointed, “Although, to avenge you and get my cake, too? That is a once in a lifetime wish only you can grant me.”
“Perhaps another day,” I offer a weak smile, “For now, I’d like to wallow in self pity.”
Londo opens his mouth to speak but says nothing as I turn and walk away. When I’m finally able to step into my room, all pretense of self respect goes out the window and I sink to the floor; curling in on myself, sobbing and crying and shaking. I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t seen it coming. The Narn’s dislike of humans wasn’t a secret. G’Kar was just as vocal about it as Na’Toth. Part of me wanted to believe he had just said those things to shut her up. But after all, it was G’Kar. Of course it would end when he grew tired of the romance; when the excitement wore off and we were just us. When he was Narn and I was human and it was just, I take a deep shuddering breath, us. I had pushed those fears to the back of mind, buried them in love and lust and of course I’d been burned. I’d been an idiot to think otherwise.
I let myself wallow, keeping my promise to Londo, for a little while longer before standing up and dusting myself off. I take a hot shower, letting the last of my hot water credits run out and then cursing the water as it turns ice cold. My apartment was small but free with my salary, provided by my job in the archives. It had been home for far longer than my relationship with G’Kar but it seemed strange now. For months I’d stayed over with G’Kar, his spacious quarters and full kitchen had always won out over mine, and now the air was stale and my things - mostly books, on shelves, stacked in the corners, towers around the bed - were dusty. The small kitchen - if one could even call it a kitchen - with it’s small sink and one-burner stove seemed a stranger. Dust on the counter and bare cabinets greeted me. I’d have to make a trip to the commissary. I found a bottle of wine - a gift from the Commander - and poured it into a short whiskey glass. The attention my apartment needed and the alcohol made for a good enough distraction. I scrub and dust and rearrange, freshening the place up as I cry. Reminding myself that I shouldn’t be surprised. Shouldn’t have been blindsided. I’d gone on with G’Kar with rose-colored glasses on and Na’Toth had just knocked them right off.
A knock at the door had me stiffening, staring at the metal slide, “It’s Michael.”
“Come in,” I call and the door slides open, “Oh, my god.”
Michael’s lip is bleeding and there’s a bruise forming around his eye, “What happened?”
“Narn don’t take kindly to being separated from their girlfriends.”
“G’Kar did this?” I squeak, grabbing a clean cloth and running water over it, “Sit down.”
“This good?” he asks, picking up the dark green bottle of wine and I nod. He takes a drink and I motion towards the little table tucked in the corner, “He was not happy when I got in between him and you - ow!” he winces as I dab at the blood on his lip, cupping his chin to keep him still.
“I didn’t ask you to fight him, Michael.”
“I didn’t want to fight him, Dove. He’s three feet taller and has about one and a quarter on me in pure, alien muscle,” he smirks and then it falls when I don’t echo it. Michael was one of my first friends on Babylon 5. We’d been rooming together until his senior officer apartment was ready and then I’d stayed in his cushy quarters until my own little dorm was open.
“I’m fine,” I say, my voice trembling - betraying the statement. Michael stares at me and I sigh, “I should have seen it coming.”
“You liked him.”
“I loved him,” I whisper, “I love him.”
“I can have him deported. I can have him in the loading bay in twenty.”
I smirk, “No, I don’t want that.”
“I will, I swear to Saturn - I’ll do it.”
“I know you will,” I kiss Michael’s head and sigh, standing up straight. He stands too, staring down at me with pity plastered across his face,, “I just need to,” I shrug - feeling lost and hopeless and completely shattered. My lip trembles and I turn away from Michael, “I don’t want a hug, if you hug me I’ll cry. I think I just need to go to bed.”
“I’ll make sure the archives are closed up for the day,” he says, putting his chin on my shoulder, “You want me to stay here?” I shake my head, unable to talk, “Want me to kill him?” I shake my hand, again and a sob escapes; I turn and throw my arms around Michael’s neck. He holds me tight and I cry into his shoulder.
“I’m fucking stupid.”
“You’re not,” Michael tries to reassure me but he and I both know that dating a Narn, getting so involved with one - especially G’Kar - was stupid, “He’s an asshole, Dove.”
“That doesn’t make me any less dumb,” I mumble into his shoulder. I step away and dry my face, swiping at tears as they fall, “I’m fine.”
“Lies.”
I scoff half a smile, “I am. I just… My head hurts. And I’m tired.”
“I’ll bring you some dinner tonight,” Michael kisses my cheek, “I’ll tell Jeff you’re taking the day off. Maybe tomorrow.”
“Thank you,” I mumble, sighing, “I mean it.”
Michael turns to me as the door opens, “I mean it, too. About deportation.”
“I’ll think about it.”
Michael leaves and as soon as the door closes, I’m crying again. I undress slowly and crawl into bed, turning on the warmer. In space, it’s hard to be warm and toasty - especially if you have windows - all of the beds in the single dorms are equipped with heaters. The thought is pathetic and sad but it's true: I’m alone again and I need a machine to warm my blankets. I stare up at the stars and it doesn’t help a thing. The tears flow and they dry and they flow, again. A constant state of anger and pain and heartbreak shake me to my core until I can do nothing but close my eyes and try to sleep. I shut the blinds - the metal sliding over the window, the lights dimming until the room was plunged into pitch black.
Finally, exhaustion takes over and I sleep.
Chapter Two
The weeks go by and I manage to return to some semblance of a normal, G’Kar free life. Of course we bump into each other and it’s awkward and tense but, no one has died and Michael’s face has healed.
In the mornings, I wake up slowly.
I put on water for tea and hop into a lukewarm shower. Hot water credits are expensive and the cold showers seem to help with the ache of missing G’Kar. I take my shower and drink my tea. I read until I have to head to the archives. I ignore the nagging thoughts of running straight to G’Kar. Every inch of me misses him. But the pain is sharper than the need and I can’t seem to get his voice out of my head: it is nothing.
I square my shoulders and dry my tears before I step out into the busy halls of Babylon 5.
My position in the archives is luxurious despite the cramped, dark rooms. I spend my days archiving and digitizing and scanning in thousands of books, papers, records and magazines and newspapers that get funneled into my literary cave. Anything historical or scientific gets sent back to the owner, government or library from whence it came. Anything that Earthforce deems important gets uploaded to the central data network. Everything else gets sold or incinerated. Which is why my personal quarters are plum full of romances and dramas and mysteries and thrillers. It’s a perk of the job. I get first dibs on anything that isn’t wanted - which is always the good stuff. I also act as a librarian of sorts - the staff and commanders, government agents and curious denizens all come to us for access to information. If it’s approved for the public, they may have a copy. Anything else needs a clearance.
I don’t have to wear a uniform and I have a little kettle and more tea to get me through the day. I have access to the staff commissary and cafeteria for minimal credits, if any. It’s not necessarily thrilling or cushy but, I get to live on Babylon 5 and have access to more books than I’ll ever be able to read.
That was how I met G’Kar. He came by one day in need of a map, complaining about the lack of an assistant. He’d needed, “one bloody map,” and the network wasn’t pulling it up for him. It had been one of those ridiculous, locked eyes, brushing hands, blushing and stuttering and smiling moments. Love at first sight. He’d come back every day for two weeks and I thought I was going to die by the time he finally asked me to dinner.
We hadn’t separated since.
Now, I’m back to spending my days reading and sorting and scanning and trying not to think about that certain Narn ambassador. I toss another few outdated encyclopedias into the incinerator and wish to the stars I could incinerate these stupid feelings. Tears well as I shut the fire door and press the green button, watching the pages burst into white hot flame and then disappear.
“Good morning!” A happy voice calls from the window in front of my desk, “Anybody home?”
“Coming!” I call and make my way through the shelves of books and stacks of boxes, sniffling away any indication that I was crying in the corner. I turn the corner and offer a genuine smile, “Hello, Vir.”
“Good morning, Dove,” he sighs, though his eyes sparkle with the near constant joy and positivity I’ve come to associate with Vir, “I’ve brought my usual offering of a matcha latte and lemon scone,” he smiles - holding up the little paper cup and matching paper bag.
“My hero,” I smile and accept his gifts, “I don’t have anything new for Londo, though. I’m sorry,” I look through my notebook of standing requests and Londo’s appeals for anything Narn related. G’Kar has the same request standing for the Centauri. And Ambassador Delenn has a request for nearly everyone. Everyone who has an enemy has put in a request for information. Vir checks in twice a week and brings gifts in exchange for preferred treatment. Which he gets.
“Well, actually, I’m not here for that today,” Vir gives me a nervous look and I arch my eyebrow, “Ambassador Mollari requests your presence for,” he clears his throat, “Dinner.”
“Oh, no,” I shake my head and lean back in my chair, “Not a chance.”
“Oh, Dove,” Vir whines, “Please don’t make me tell him no.”
“Tell him no. Send him down here and I’ll tell him no.”
“Dove.”
“Vir,” I shake my head, “I’m not going on a date with a nonhuman ever, again. Let alone another ambassador. Let alone the sworn enemy of my ex-boyfriend nonhuman ambassador. Not a chance in the galaxy.”
Vir stares at me but doesn't prod - universe bless him for it, “Fine. But you know he’s not going to be happy.”
“So be it,” I nod, “Look at this face. This is the face of a thirty-three year old woman who simply cannot go on another date. Ever again.”
“It will be my great displeasure to tell Ambassador Mollari that you turned him down, Dove. But also,” Vir leans in, that sparkle returning as he lowers his voice, conspiratorially, “Do you want to get drinks with me tonight? We can… how did you say… talk shit?”
“I would love to. See you at eight? Nine?”
Vir nods, clapping quietly, “Nine o’clock.”
I watch Vir skip off - sending up a prayer that he doesn’t catch too much flack for returning without anything from the archives or a date for Londo. I go back to work - feeling a bit better about life with Vir’s latte and snack; looking forward to drinks with my friend.
I take another stack of moldy, dated encyclopedias and dictionaries to the incinerator. I barely have a chance to toss them in before the little brass bell at the window is being beaten within an inch of its antique life, “Mercy me,” I return, “I’m coming! Nothing is that important here - oh,” G’Kar stands, straight and tall and looming, “Ambassador,” I greet him, folding my arms across my chest, “What can I help you with?”
“What do you mean she said no!?” Londo Mollari nearly jumps out of his chair, his desk and the contents spread across it all shake and wobble, “She said no!?”
“She did,” Vir nods and wrings his hands, “But you have to understand - she’s still quite sad about Ambassador G’Kar. I don’t think she’s ready for that!”
Londo scoffs, “I am not asking for a… for anything, Vir! Just dinner,” Londo says and Vir gives him a look of exasperation, “Okay, perhaps I do not have such pure intentions. Nothing brings me so much joy as to piss off the Narn. G’Kar in particular. Chasing after the archivist,” Vir gives Londo another look and Londo sighs dramatically, “Chasing after Dove is the perfect way to achieve that,” Vir chews his lip, trying to keep his opinion to himself. Londo sighs dramatically, “What is it, Vir?”
“Dove is my friend,” Vir steps forward, “The Ambassador was not kind to her and I… well, I don’t want her to get hurt.”
Londo straightens and his gaze softens, “The only victim I intend to make is that of the Narn idiot down the hall, understood?” Vir nods, “Good. Now, what time are you meeting her for drinks?”
“G’Kar,” I exhale, on the verge of crying simply out of frustration, “Please, just go. I have work to do. I’m sure you do, too.”
“I miss you, Dove. I have made a terrible mistake.”
“You haven’t even apologized, G’Kar,” I shake my head and sink down into my chair, staring up at him, “Still, you can’t even say you love me without making sure nobody is around. You’re looking down the hallway right now,” I snap and G’Kar returns his gaze to me - I didn’t think Narn’s could blush but his cheeks darken and he lowers his face in shame, “I can’t do this G’Kar. I never asked you to parade me around her like your bride but, damn. You could have… said something. Anything else to Na’Toth. Now please,” I hold up my hand when G’Kar makes to argue and he bows his head again, “Please, please go and let me move on with my life.”
“Dovey.”
“G’Kar, please.”
“Everythign all right here?” Commander Sinclair appears next to G’Kar, brow furrowed. We exchange looks and he nods, “Did you need something from the archives, Ambassador?”
G’Kar shakes his head, “No, what I need is not available yet.”
“Then I trust you’ll be on your way. As you now Miss Dove is incredibly busy and her job is vital to Babylon 5’s productivity,” the Commander glares at G’Kar and G’Kar stares at me for a moment longer and tears prick and sting my eyes as I stare back.
“Just go, G’Kar,” I whisper and he nods, stepping back and giving me a curt bow before finally leaving, his hulking form disappearing down the hallway.
“Take the rest of the day off, Dove,” the Commander nods to me, “I insist.”
“I thought I was vital to the workings of the station, Commander.”
He smirks, “You are but, I also don’t want to get a work order in because some cried on the scanner and their tears blew a fuse. And it’s not incredibly professional for me to present war texts with tear splotches, either. Take the day off. I’ll make sure G’Kar knows that he’s to use the other archivists for his needs.”
“Thank you,” I manage to squeak out, “I mean it.”
“See you back here in the morning,” the Commander nods with a smile.
G’Kar, esteemed ambassador of the Narn regime, is beside himself.
Well, perhaps he has been beside himself before. He’s prone to his emotions, he can admit that. But he’s never been this beside himself and this drunk before. But here he is. Sitting in his quarters with nearly an entire bottle of kriul burning in his belly while his heart breaks and tears stream down his face.
She had seemed so small, so delicate.
His Dove, his lovely Dovey, had looked up at him and he had seen only pain and tears in her eyes - both of which were his fault. He thought she’d come back, though, he did. He’d been wrong about that, it seems. He was wrong about everything with Dove. And he’d been an ass, “Ambassador,” Na’Toth appears in the doorway and the light his blinding to G’Kar poor, drunk eyes, “It’s late. You have an early morning.”
“Leave me alone.”
“Ambassador,” Na’Toth steps inside and the door slides shut, “I understand that you are upset but your drinking has increased significantly. You’ve been exhausted and sick for the last three days. I’m afraid at this rate, you’ll be drunk or unconscious by morning.”
“It would be a blessing, Na’Toth, now go.”
G’Kar does not want to hate Na’Toth, he thinks as he glares at her. Hating her. She is good at what she does, one of the best. It would be difficult, to say the least, to replace her. Even more difficult to actually dismiss her. So he glares.
“Ambassador, you must… you must snap out of this!”
G’Kar roars then, jumping up and nearly falling over - the entire room spins. He realizes that his words are nearly incoherent as he falls out into the hallway; the lights are far too bright and the halls far too busy, “If you will not leave, I will!”
The Zocalo is bright and loud and never, ever experiences a lull. If you’re looking for peace and quiet, perhaps one of the more exclusive bars on the outskirts of the chaos or the tea shop that closes before clubs open. Thankfully, peace and quiet is not what I need as I sit down next to Vir, “Dove! You made it,” he waves over at the bartender, “One for her,” he points to the ruby red, slushy drink in front of him, “Make hers a double.”
No sooner than my drink appears before me does Londo Mollari appear next to Vir, “Ambassador,” Vir gives Londo an uneasy look, “What a coincidence!”

Wanted to draw a rudimentary timeline of this both because I had these OCs and other headcanons for quite a while but never really saw them on paper, and also because I was in the mood for drawing portraits.
I like to imagine that Delenn had quite a diverse love life we just don't see much of because over most of these people she is pretty much over.
This is for the AU I am working on currently, but honestly I imagine that it goes in the same order in the canon timeline, only that the time where she actually ends up with Lennier is much, much later.
More detailed headcanons on each of them below the cut:
Neroon: Not sure if he and Delenn knew each other long beforehand or he only changed to her school shortly before they fell in love, but their clans have an arragnement where they often work together like this. He is the grumpy, intimidating bad boy and she the shy, timid girl, but they make it work. She learns to come out of her shell more, and he learns calmness. They are about eighteen or nineteen, and it works out for about three years. They also take quite a while before they have sex, but their have their first time with each other. Their different duties due to being of different castes ultimately brings them apart, but they stay in contact
Cassuan: Delenn met him on Bord of the Grey Council flagship as an accolyte, as he was an assistant technician. They bonded over their shared like for deep talks and for both being nerdy. He also introduced Delenn to more complex sex rituals, what humans would call BDSM. Their relationship lasted even until Delenn became Satai, but Cassuan couldn't deal with Delenns behavior in the war against the humans and broke up with her, which still haunts her for the rest of her life. She tried to contact him several times but he just completely broke off contact.
Kaya: A human ambassador assigned to the same planet as Delenn after the war, they ended up in lots of contact that grew more and more personal. Delenn could not admit that she was attracted to humans, but she grew to desire and finally love him more and more. He never really picked up on it and she was also not his type. Delenn was heartbroken, but also, as she could not admit that she was attracted to an alien, tried to rationalize her pain away in the most absurd justifications of what happened instead.
Accolon: Her and Delenn met as they served at a spring rite aka sex ritual together, but liked that experience so much that they stayed in contact after that. Delenn admired how openly different and proud of that Accolon was, even if at this point she was not the shy, timid girl anymore, Satai and pretty much driving force behind the Babylon project on the Minbari side. Apart from that, they are quite different people, Accolon being spontaneous and literal and outgoing, but they can talk well. Their sexual attraction and Accolon teaching Delenn even more BDSM, which she acted out both as dominant and submissive pretty much carried the relationship. After Accolon, as an priestess and scholar, travels on to another planet, their relationship pretty much fizzels out.
Jeff: You saw their philosophical talks and Delenn trying to flirt and deep bond and how Delenn was more or less responsible for Jeffs trauma. Delenn could never quite admit that he would never return her feelings, because the prophecy said she would end up with a human. So she just continued pining until he was gone.
Lennier: Pining and face touches and things you would clearly never say or do to someone just platonically, but its never communicated. A beautiful mess. In my AU, there comes a point where Delenn can't bear not knowing what the hell she is feeling anymore (even if it is not love, its too destructive and timid and raw to be love), and Lennier suffers to much to not ask for clarification. So Delenn starts... something with him, to find out what it is. Its painful for Lennier, but its still better than just pining. They try to go with the rituals, but there are no rituals for something so complicated and messy. So they ease into an actual romantic relationship. They pretty much enable each others psychological issues, so that is another thing they have to figure out, but against what Delenn secretly believes, it works out. Their sex life works out surprisingly well, though. Sure, Lennier is inexperienced and knows more or less nothing, but once he knows something, he is very attentive, and turns out he is kinky too. And they know each other so well that its very easy to read what the other wants.
Susan: At the point where Susan comes closer into Delenns live again, becoming leader of the Anla'Shok, in my AU Delenn and Lennier are a couple for quite some time, and over their issues, and have a happy open relationship (in the canon timeline both probably happen around the same time, idk, I don't do much with the canon timeline?). Actually adding someone to their relationship as an genuine same level partner instead of secondary partners is new, and its a mess to figure out at first. But Delenn and Susan now have processed their trauma enough to be open with each other in a way and depth they could not on Babylon 5. Its a new beginning. (Lennier at first has his old fears about not being good enough and being replaced come up again, but also he goes along surprisingly well with Susan, so it is easier to get over it).

Eliza's Youngblood Event
a Criminal Minds song fic event
Song fics inspired by 5 Seconds of Summer’s 2018 album, Youngblood
How does it work?
I’m asking my fellow criminal minds fic writers to write a song fic based on a song from this album! (literally, that’s the only rule) It can be x reader or x OC; sfw or nsfw; any character from Criminal Minds.
Want to participate?
Send me a message with the song you’d like to choose! There’s not a limit to fics per song, but I’m trying to keep track of which ones haven’t been chosen so I can write a fic for it. Don’t know what song to choose? Message me and I’ll give you one.
Once your fic is written, make sure to tag me and/or use the tag #ElizasYoungbloodEvent
I’ll be collecting fics from now until 5/20. Miss the deadline? No problem, just shoot me a message after you post so I can get you added to the masterlist!
song list is below the cut
Songs to choose from:
✦ Youngblood ✦ Want You Back ✦ Lie to Me ✦ Valentine ✦ Talk Fast ✦ Moving Along ✦ If Walls Could Talk ✦ Better Man ✦ More ✦ Why Won’t You Love Me ✦ Woke Up in Japan ✦ Empty Wallets ✦ Ghost of You ✦ Monster Among Men ✦ Meet You There ✦ Babylon ✦ When You Walk Away ✦ Best Friend ✦ Midnight

a bby branmer with his parents, kedrunn and eiyamer (both ocs). they're both musicians so i had fun designing some absurd minbari instruments for them that probably would be extremely impractical in real life (the minbari dedication to the triangle aesthetic always cracks me up)
#babylon 5#b5#minbari#branmer#minbari ocs#yes i am weirdly obsessed with the guy who is like... a coffin in one ep lol#i just think he occupies an interesting space in minbari worldbuilding!#one instrument is based on a crwth#and the other started out based on a psaltery and quickly turned into something different#in parliament of dreams (i think) the minbari have psalterys#which they are plucking despite being the bowed kind!#i can only assume some of the production team walked into a music shop and saw a bowed psaltery and were like 'JACKPOT' ahaha#and ofc the triangle branmer is playing with is one that pops up whenever the show calls for some ritual shaking of bells#idek what that is#maybe they made it special for the show???
