Minbari Cultural Lore
If you have or find a Babylon 5 fic that has a significant element providing a deeper look into the culture of the Minbari people, please submit it! We're looking for adronato phrases, warrior caste holidays, worker caste recipes, the other forty-eight courtship rituals, smutty Shan'Fal fics, third gender AUs, Ranger training, what Lennier really learned in temple, and anything else Minbari you can throw at us! Canon, semi-canon, fanon, and your own cracky head canons all welcome.

Summary
It was supposed to be a short, very light little romp, and there was going to be reference to Ivanova thwapping Marcus with the roses towards the beginning of season three. Like everything I write, it then grew a life of its own and became longer, plottier, and definitely a little different than what I expected.
The end result was an epic, 170, 000-plus word adventure in trying to figure out what the relationship between Marcus and Neroon would actually look like, treating the Minbari as an actual alien species, exploring the results of cultural seepage (Humans becoming Minbari, and vice versa), the cultural elements canonical to the series (Minbari Alien Prohibition included), and the various wars that occur over the course of the series.
Basically, I wanted to see if I could make one small change in the B5 canon – namely, the creation of a romantic relationship between Marcus and his favourite Minbari – and see what kind of ripple effect this has on the events of that universe. And then this happened. I'm still not sure if I'm impressed or appalled.

Absolutely epic close-up of everyday life on Minbar. Worth multiple re-reads.
