I always had a soft spot in my heart for your "Conjugate, Not Conjugal" series, perhaps especially since Pike/Gaila was not exactly a widespread pairing. What I've always liked best about it was the depiction of two very strong people who have each been through a lot, but don't need someone constantly by their side to complete them (and never to save them). They are both unconventional and independent, and find a way make that work within a relationship (for a given value of relationship), even if others might not understand. On a less cerebral note, the last bonus scene with Number One managed to be brain-meltingly hot without feeling sleazy or exploitative.
