Why this must be read:

Wee baby David Sheridan. Doting parents. Discussion of Minbari crests vs soft fluffy baby hair. Delenn and her husbands and newborn, cuddling. Utter adorableness.

I say husbands in the plural, because this is part of an ongoing AU in which Minbari have three sexes, not two, and at least sometimes bond in triads. Lennier is one of the third gender, and ends up in a relationship with Delenn and John, co-parenting David Sheridan. The whole concept of three explicit sexes (as opposed to humans, who have more than two genders, but only two commonly-recognized sexes) fascinates me, and seems like lovely fanon for the Minbari. ("Three is sacred"--which was said in the context of Delenn/Lennier vs Delenn/John in canon--is too great a line not to play with, and this is a neat way to go about it.)

AU from at least "Objects At Rest" (that scene you're thinking of never happened, here), and digs into the issues between John and Lennier and their respective relationships with Delenn. All the jealousy issues are there, at least at the start, and the three of them work slowly over time to come to some kind of happiness.

Series co-written by hearts_blood and rivendellrose.
