I love that all the other answers so far are different, but there’s universal agreement that Biggles going off at Zorotov for the crime of Swearing At Erich is the shippiest moment!

[sholio]

I KNOW, I am completely delighted by the general agreement on this very important point. :D One does not swear at Erich in Biggles's presence, it is not done.

I also wish I had set the number of answers greater than 3. So hard to choose!

[black_bentley]

It was SO HARD to narrow it down to 3! But I too am glad we all agree that Biggles losing his shit at Zorotov is the best moment.

[sholio]

I love that the poll continues to be unanimous about that one answer even as new answers come in! Everyone agrees that Zorotov is The Worst.

(3 is definitely not enough, I should have set it higher ...)

Since my "Biggles loses it at Zorotov" and "How time flies when I am with you!" responses are already well-represented, I will put in a vote for the deliciousness of Biggles responding to Erich shooting at him by cheekily saying, "Naughty!" and then leaving him a tie that we can all agree (per Philomytha's wonderful fic) that EvS totally kept. It's just such a great dose of playfulness and kink.

[sholio]

Yessss, I love that scene. <3 It's just so *Biggles* somehow. He's trying to KILL YOU, Biggles! (But not trying very hard, apparently.)

And he totally kept the tie. *nods*
