This year's Trick or Treat Exchange has gone live, and I received this sublime Babylon 5 story about Alfred Bester:

He can see her trying to work this out as though it’s all parts of a single question; as though it’s a riddle he’s given her to solve. Well, the weight of being revered, he supposes.

Just that title alone is a win!

Right?? I came in here to say that!

Quite. :)

Wow, I love this story. Thanks for linking me to it -- I would probably not have got around to reading it otherwise. I am filled with curiosity as to who wrote it!

So am I! I mean, I have a guess, but this person as far as I know did not participate in the ficathon, so it's probably a wrong guess.
