The Vorlon Gift by atsammy (Mature)

[nenya_kanadka]

Fandom: BABYLON 5
Pairing: Susan Ivanova/Talia Winters
Length: 31,000 words
Author on LJ: sammysam
Author Website: atsammy at An Archive Of Our Own | fatedtales
Why this must be read:

"The Vorlons return something that Susan thought she'd lost forever."

One of my few disappointments with Babylon 5 was how short the much-lauded, well-beloved canon F/F relationship turned out to be. And that despite the canon cultural acceptance of same-sex relationships, we still ended up with the "dead or crazy lesbians" trope.

This fic is for all of those who wanted Talia to come back, or not be brainwashed, and get to be happy with Susan. Remember that one time where Kosh took a copy of Talia's brain back in Season 1? The author picks up that abandoned plot point, and goes on from there with a lovely plotty fic full of angst and healing and a long slow romance. The yenta!Vorlons fic you've been waiting for.

ooooohhhhh.... thanks for bringing this to my attention. Good, long, plotty B5 fics are so hard to find for me and to have it feature Susan/Talia! Just perfect. Can't wait to dive in. Thanks for this!

Thank you for recommending my fic! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[nenya_kanadka]

Yay!

And now I know what your LJ username is, to put on the recs form...there was an atsammy, but *that* didn't look like a fanficcer...

Yay!

Heh, that journal still exists? That is mine... the first one I started back when LJ first started, and after two posts it kept crashing, so I made a new account. I would have thought LJ had scrubbed it after 12 years, considering what they do with inactive accounts.

Weird.

My lj is currently set to friends only, however I keep all my fic at fatedtales if you want to include that? Any un-locked fic at my journal would just link there anyway. But it is all up at AO3 :)

[nenya_kanadka]

Aha! :D All is made clear. I will add in fatedtales to the rec, above, in case people want to find moar of your things, and/or don't like/can't access AO3, or whatever.

And yes, the old journal is there, all two posts of it. :P S'pose you could delete it if you wanted.
