HAHAHA. Yes, it had to be Talia. I really have always loved the idea of The Adventures of Young Talia And Lyta In Psi Corps Academy, and this was kind of like that, except with Susan!
(And yet, the new ship is still not YOUR ship. But that always is the way of things, isn't it?)
I REALLY MIGHT WRITE THAT. I'm so bad at Five Things fics, though, because I always write FOUR things and then can't write the fifth one. I have SO MANY STORIES that just need a last scene. So perhaps I will write "An Unspecified Number Of Scenes Where Susan Joined The Psi Corps And Talia Was Also There." Heee.
And it would totally have been more logical for Control to choose Garibaldi as the easy mark--although maybe his inherent suspicion scared Control off?
Actually, I feel like the fact that she didn't choose Garibaldi is the greatest case for how Control really didn't have that much influence over the direction of her life. Because really. It's so obvious. She could have had that man wrapped around her finger in no time, and would have totally been in their secret rebellion cabal, and caused great problems for everyone.
And for my New Ship Of The Week, it's also interesting to consider what would have happened if Talia had stayed around for the whole series, playing a lot of the role that Lyta played (presumably), except that Ivanova would have had this ongoing emotional relationship happening while all the crazy ish was going down. And what would the Psi Corps have done once B5 pulled away from Earth with Talia still on board? All these questions! I often get frustrated that other people have not already written exactly the fics I want to read. ;)
