Thanks for playing! It was fun.

Uther, what is it that you most want for your son? What about for Morgana? Do you see any contradiction in these goals?

G'Kar, when did you know you could not only forgive Londo Mollari, but actually become his friend?

Oh my goodness, I loved the G'Kar one so much, thank you for posting it! I spent all day agonizing over a good Londo question but then my courage failed me and I gave up ^_^ I mean, unless you do want to give your take on why Londo never tried to find his first dancer wife again once he was in nominal control of his House? I was between that and a more open-ended "Tell us a story!", but that's more because I love everything you do with the Londo voice (speaking of which, I'm considering going back and reading through your Londo RP journal again. Have you ever considered collecting the posts together and putting them on AO3?).

Okay, first Londo's reply:

"My dear lady, when I told my first wife I would divorce her I saw myself dying in her eyes. Now my good friend Sheridan may have mastered the art of resurrection, but I, let me assure you, have not. Besides, what good would it have done? I was no longer the naive young man whom she had kissed that day when we met. And however life had treated her, kindly or harsh, she had become a different person as well. Maybe we could have discovered love again, and maybe we would have found ourselves utter strangers. I prefered not to find out."

Secondly, the Londo journal: a lot of the entries were too rp related to work as independent stories, but if I ever find the time, I might go through it and see which ones would work as stories compatible with canon with only minor adjustments. The one example where I did that shortly after writing the entry in question because I was so fond of the result was "End of the affair", where I just had to edit out the references to the rp Centauri Prime plot.

You have no idea how happy that little response made me, I'm still squeeing. As I've said many times, you're basically my favorite Londo writer so this is almost as good as being contacted by the "character".
I will definitely keep an eye out if you ever do find that time, it would be really wonderful but there were a lot of entries so I imagine it would be very time consuming!
Andyway, thank so so much for this nifty little mini-fic, it really put a smile on my face (and a tear in my eye because let's face this is Londo and he always manages to do both, particularly when this well written).
