Recced because: This fic goes to show that you don't need tens of thousands of words for an effective crossover. Sometimes you can do it in five-hundred. Selena's Seven voice is pitch-perfect--I could hear him speak his dialogue--and her Delenn is even better, if that's possible. Both pacing and mood are very well sustained. Everything fits seamlessly. You can feel the affection for both shows between every line.
