Summary
"He did not chose his actions, his actions chose him."
--DelennThe theme of "By Way of Proposal" is to propose how the confrontation of the Shadows could have happened if matters had changed somewhat at the beginning so that Sheridan would have chosen his path. I also wanted to avoid how much Susan and Delenn fell apart because he left without word, except for a message that came too late.
This is a commentary AU. The first four chapters, and much of the end scenes (especially J&D) were written in late 1996 and early 1997. Over the winter of 2021/22, I wrote the rest of the scenes so I had a complete story. Then in Spring through July I wrote several new scenes to chapters 4 through 9 because I realized the emotions would have been more complex than I wrote twenty-five years ago, particularly in the case of Sheridan. In January the wordcount was about 15K, it has increased to 25K, and I think I have improved the emotional logic. The introduction (chapter 1) describes this in more detail.

Summary
The troops filed in again, solemn. Garibaldi stood up, trying to sound cheerful. This was something many people wanted. ... "Do you know what's coming?"
From the back someone called, "Fleet's moving out."
"Right. Tomorrow. The League part of the fleet will be commanded by Captain ..." and he spread his hands so everyone said it at once.
" ... Ivanova."
He nodded. "Yeah, that's weird." There was a low buzz of comment, not necessarily said to the person next. He let people get used to it for a bit before continuing. "And sad. Life sucks right now."This sad AU is the alternate sequel to "By Way of Proposal", to follow up on the dialog suggestion that if Sheridan was killed someone else would take his place in the fight against shadows and to regain Earth.
