Thank you, happy you liked it; even happier, in fact, that you did so without being a fan of the pairing. :) Though in truth, the story is less about the pairing than it's about loneliness, and intimacy, and needs both emotional and physical. (Still, I know some people would be put off by the slash element anyway, mild though it is, so I thought it only fair to warn. Which reminds me I've been wanting to comment on your "They didn't make it for you" post, as I agree totally: respect for what is and isn't a person's thing is essential, both in fandom and in real life. And trying to push a person into either one (you have love this, why don't you?) or the other (you should hate this, it's baaaad!) direction is both useless and not very kind.)
About that last line: it's funny, but I seldom start writing a fic from the beginning, or finish at the end. Here, the last two scenes were actually the ones I wrote first. On the other hand, for some reason I tend to keep the opening scene - and sentence - until the last. Not sure how 'normal' that is - do you usually write in the logical order, or do you switch around too, according to mood and inspiration?
Vir and G'Kar: yes, so much potential there, and the show didn't really do them as much justice as it could have. The few scenes they had together (e.g. Vir apologizing in the elevator, with G'Kar cutting his arm counting the drops of blood as dead Narn) were marvelous, but there was never any true closure between them that we were shown - unless there's something in Crusade or the movies which I haven't seen? I'd love to put that thought into a fic, one day...
