Summary: “You are the One who was.”

~~~

THE ONE WHO WAS

He was no longer Jeffrey Sinclair. He was the One, as Zathras said. He felt like he always had felt but he was no longer that man. He was Valen, changed in appearance and in time. He had much to do. A lifetime’s worth.

He finally knew what it was that the Minbari spared him for though even they had not known why at the time.

He smiled at the thought. Perhaps he would not have felt so lost, so confused if he’d known but the Minbari did not see things the way humans did.

He was the One, Entil’Zha.

Summary: Londo ponders what might have been.

~~~

Adira

Sometimes very late in the night when all was quiet, he thought of her.

Adira.

No matter what else she was, she had been the love of his life. He thought of her sweet smile, the tinkle of her laugh at one of his really bad jokes.

The best thing about her had been who he was when she was with him. He was not a old fool on an alien space station in the middle of nowhere. He was a man who could have been Emperor, who could have brought honor back to the Centauri people.

Poor, sweet Adira.

Summary: Michael regrets his fall off of the wagon.

~~~

After the Fall

Garibaldi had been rattled ever since Lianna Kemmer had been onboard. She’d always been a sweet little girl and the guilt at her father’s death had eaten him so long, eat at him still.

He knew his sobriety was fragile. Every drunk knows that but he’d thought he’d had a better handle on it than he did. He was ashamed at how quickly he’d crawled right back into the bottle when accused of setting that bomb.

Jeff had believed in him. Always had.

He took a deep breath and decided he’d stay sober for Jeff. He owed him that much.

Summary: Lennier sits vigil.

Changes

Lennier sat vigil while Delenn was in her chrysalis. No matter what happened, he would care for her. It was his job and his privilege.

What was she turning into? Why was she doing this? He wanted to understand her, but he felt like a child sometimes. Would he ever understand?

“Delenn, I will serve you, no matter what,” he said to the still chrysalis as if she could hear him.

He heard her move before he saw any movement. He realized that he was actually quite afraid, suddenly.

He would know what she had changed into soon.

Very soon.

The Teflon Narn

Ivanova liked running the CandC – it was her domain. And she ran it with an iron fist! Well, mostly iron anyway.

Even the ambassadors had to listen to her.

Except for that sneaky G’kar.

Everyone thought Mollari was the one who did as he pleased, but she knew better. G’kar and his fellow Narn were always doing something they weren’t supposed to be doing. They smuggled weapons, people, anything else they wanted and G’kar grinned and pretended that the Narn Regine would never do anything wrong!

The part that really burned was that she could never catch him at it!

Summary: Garibaldi has a pet he’s never met.

~~~

Phantom Pet

The mouse had lived on Babylon 5 all its life. Its parents came in a box of seeds from Mars. Their ancestors were from Earth.

Once he’d left his nest, he’d wandered about on the vast station for several days until he’d slipped into Garibaldi’s quarters one day as the chief was leaving. He explored and found something to eat, something nice and crunchy.

Popcorn.

Garibaldi watched a screen with funny figures on it and dropped popcorn everywhere, almost every night. Even though he wasn’t sure the big creature knew he was there, the mouse was quite fond of Garibaldi.

Summary: Londo gets a present

~~~

Merry Christmas, Londo!

Londo found a small box outside his door. It was wrapped with shiny paper and tied with a pretty red ribbon. He knew immediately that G’kar had sent him a bomb wrapped in an appealing package.

Didn’t that sound just like a Narn?

He took the package into his quarters and set it in the corner. He’d have Vir see what kind of bomb it was.

He kept looking at it and finally he approached it cautiously. He picked it up. It didn’t make any noises.

The note attached said “Merry Christmas!”

What madness was this Christmas? Vir would know!

Summary: Lennier feels out of place.

~~~

Calming the Chaos

Lennier was sure that he would never get used to way things were on Babylon 5. He had lived many years sheltered by his order on Minbar. Everything was simple there and the same every day.

The he came here where everything was chaos!

Even Delenn!

She allowed him to look her directly in the eyes!

He thought about asking to be sent back home. Maybe he was not suited for this life, this madness that he’d been thrust into.

“Lennier, can you help me?” Her calm voice was all he needed to convince him to stay on Babylon 5.

Breen for the Lady

G’kar was humming as he hustled and bustled around in his small kitchen. Na’toth watched but refused to help him in any way.

“Why are you making breen for a human?” She finally asked.

“I told you that Earth has an equivalent food called Swedish Meatballs. I thought Ivanova might like some Earth-ish food.”

“It won’t entice her to bed you, you know. She seems to not be attracted to anyone or anything as best I can tell.”

G’kar made a fine figure in his pink lacy apron.

“Not even Ivanova can resist this!”

Na’toth laughed so hard she cried.

The One Constant

Talia never knew what to expect from the people on Babylon 5. She trusted very few.

Yes, she could read them, know what they thought, but it was against the rules and Talia went strictly by the book. She took her work seriously, very seriously.

The captain had sent for her to introduce her to some businessmen who were looking to do business on B5 and wanted the services of a telepath.

She stepped into the lift and Garibaldi leered. “Want to come to my quarters to see my etchings?”

She smiled. Garibaldi was the one constant. She liked that.

Summary: Sinclair tries to make sense of it all.

~~~

Delenn

Both the dying Minbari and Deathwalker told him he had a hole in his head. What did that mean?

Some memories were coming back to him – more than he was willing to let anyone know. He knew she was on that ship. He knew she was someone important but who was she?

Was she one of the mysterious ruling body of the Minbari? Was she here to spy on him?

After the incident with the Knights, she’d told him that she was his friend and everything was all right.

But was it really?

Would it ever be all right again?

Thinking of Killing

Na’toth thought about killing G’kar. That might have been alarming if anyone else were thinking it but Na’toth was always thinking about killing someone and today G’kar was getting on her nerves.

When she’d arrived at his quarters early for a briefing before a council meeting, he had two human women in bed with him. They had giggled and run when she growled at them all, but G’kar seemed totally unfazed by the whole thing.

“What?” he said innocently.

“Can you not behave with dignity? You are a representative of the Narn Regime.”

“I represent the Narn very well, Na’toth.”

Summary: Delenn is sneaking around in someone’s quarters.

~~~

THAT’S ALL, FOLKS

Delenn looked both ways before she let herself into the empty quarters. She knew she had a little while to look without interruption but she didn’t want to waste her time hunting.

She rifled through his things until she found what she was looking for. She reached in her bag for a couple of things she got in the Zocalo and sat down on the sofa.

She popped the crystal into the machine, sat back to eat her popcorn as the lively music began.

She couldn’t contain her giggle as Daffy Duck appeared.

Garibaldi would have been a good Minbari.

FAITH MANAGES

“You know it’s all a myth, right?” The young man said to the dignified old woman on the bench. “They really didn’t do all those things. John Sheridan was just a petty tyrant who won and we all know history is written by the victor.”

The old woman smiled. “I am sad for you.”

“Why? Because I refuse to believe in silly myths?”

“That’s not the reason.”

“Then why?”

She smiled to herself, pulling her Ranger cloak a little tighter around her. The boy hadn’t noticed it.

“Because I knew him, all of them. They knew about faith. You don’t.”

Summary: Talia is having dreams…

Dream Lover

Talia had dreams of sweaty encounters, tangled sheets. She woke suddenly, heart pounding in her chest. It always happened just as she was about to see her dream lover’s face.

She carefully examined all the people on the station, careful not to break the rules and accidentally scan someone. That didn’t stop her from wanting to know who it was.

One day she was in the Zocalo when she met up with the one person who always avoided her and she knew without even scanning that she was the one. That was the lover of her dreams.

Susan.

Susan Ivanova!

Summary: Vir thinks of what he’d do in Londo’s place.

~~~

The Price of Power

Vir knew he should understand Londo but he didn’t.

Londo had it made here. As an ambassador, he enjoyed a rather high status and hardly anyone ever tried to kill him. Vir would have considered himself the luckiest Centauri around if he had all that Londo did.

He actually did consider himself quite lucky to be Londo’s aide.

When Londo wasn’t screaming about how hard his life was, that is.

He smiled to himself and imagined Londo being Emperor and him being his most trusted advisor. Would Londo complain even more then?

Being an ambassador’s aid was enough for him.

SUSPICION

Garibaldi was suspicious of everyone. Always.

But he never saw it coming.

He was meeting the commander for dinner to discuss hiring a few more security personnel for Down Below. He needed a few more bodies in the crime ridden area.

“So, Chief, what’re you having?” Sinclair asked as he slid into the seat across from Michael.

“I think I’ll have the spaghetti and marinara sauce with some fake meatballs. You?”

“I think I’ll have,” he paused as the chef rolled in a huge cake, “some cake for your birthday!”

Sinclair was a sneaky bastard! The cake was good though.

Murdering Mulder

Scully was going to kill Mulder dead.

She was cold through her warm coat, shivering all the way to her bones and he was late.

Two hours late!

He’d better have a damned good excuse! He’d better have been in the president’s office or on a space ship to another galaxy. Any other excuse was going to get him shot!

He had to be the most annoying human being she’d ever met and she’d met some doozies!

Then there he stood, excited about something he’d seen and she remembered how much she loved him.

She was still thinking of murder!

Cold, Cold Heart

The cold got in his bones and would not leave.

It was a year ago that Sherlock had died along with Moriarty and John hadn’t felt warm since then. He’d not slept for weeks then when he did, he dreamt of Holmes.

Always dreamt of Holmes.

He’d taken to watching the ships come in and go out, not even the icy cold keeping him from his nightly watch.

Mary worried for him.

Mrs. Hudson worried for him as well and told him so quite often.

Some of his patients worried.

He simply could not shake the cold in his heart.

SAVING PARADISE

It was only as he watched her walk down the road with that damned umbrella that he realized how he felt about her. He’d been so busy hunting Bucky and trying to sort out what he had with Tony to understand that he loved her.

Natasha.

The night with her… God, what a night. He’d never forget.

Their friendship…

No one had been a better friend to him, not even Bucky.

Had he lost her? He hoped not, as he opened the door and called out after her.

“Nat, come back. I need you. I love you.”

She stopped walking.
