Babylon 5 fanfic: The Drowning Deep
May. 31st, 2025 07:41 pmI wrote this for
fan_flashworks "Underwater" challenge back in early May and finally got around to editing it (the first version was pretty rough; this has been cleaned up a lot, tweaked for word choice and clarity).
One thing rolling around in the back of my head when I wrote this is something I've noticed reading fic for this show - there's not really a lot of typical tropey h/c for these characters. It's understandable, because canon is so tightly plotted, and so much of the fic is just fixing and/or dealing with their various canon disasters and tragedies. But sometimes you just want to put someone into a classic h/c situation and make them deal with it, you know?
The Drowning Deep (5500 words, gen)
Takes place between 5x09 and 5x10. An attempt on Londo's life in the palace gardens.
Also posted on AO3.
