Fandom: Babylon 5
Author: badly_knitted
Characters: Timov, Londo.
Rating: PG
Written For: Challenge 400: Amnesty 40 at drabble_weekly, using Challenge 82: Do The Right Thing.
Spoilers/Setting: Soul Mates
Summary: Timov may not love her husband, but she’s not going to let him die.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Babylon 5, or the characters. They belong to J. Michael Straczynski.
A/N: Double drabble.
Timov doesn’t love Londo, and never will, but for better or worse, mostly for worse, she IS married to him. She’s under no illusion that he cares any more for her than she does for him. Familiarity, such as it is, or was in the past, has bred more than contempt between them, but it hardly matters; she seldom sees her husband, or his other two wives. She despises them as much as she does Londo, but she comforts herself with the fact that Londo despises them too. It is, perhaps, the only thing they might agree on.
And now, after summoning all three of his wives to Babylon 5 and announcing he intends to divorce two of them, Londo lays in Medlab, poisoned, unconscious, and in critical condition. He may well die, and while Timov would have no reason to mourn him if he did, winning the battle between them in such a way would be a shallow victory.
She offers her blood for a transfusion, the only thing that might save his life, on the understanding that Londo should never be told who the donor was. However she feels about her husband, it’s the right thing to do.
The End
