Heart-Shaped Stone: it's lengthy, layered, delicious Eve character exploration. Why she makes the choices she does in the film, what creates an agent. Has also excellent Bond and M, but that's just a bonus. This is the Eve story I've been waiting for.
in all i've done: whereas this one, to put it as unspoilery as possible, is an M story that deals with a central event in a creative, dark way by using the Groundhog Day concept.

Reading up on your old B5 stories :-)

The story I like best (at least so far ;-)) is Talking Heads as I've always had a soft spot for friendship stories, and this one rings true and poignant for G'Kar and Garibaldi on so many levels. Oh, and don't get me started on how wonderfully you've managed to hit exactly the right turning points/watershed moments of each character's life with your portrayal.
Also: Extra points for the brief but poignant mentionings of Sinclair. My little old Sinlcair fan's heart lept with joy when I encountered them.
