I think if you don't quite 'see' the pairing, you (as reader) do lose some emotional resonance. But there's no way around it, you can't force someone to see things the way you do (Tell me about it. I wrote Lennier/Ivanova in a haze of obsession. Not very many people share it!) I probably would have related more if there had been no slashy penumbra, but that's me, and not you, and not lots of other people.
I can't remember any scenes with Vir and G'Kar in the movies. I haven't seen Crusade (yet). Vir is important in Thirdspace. I'll have to check that out.
I usually write the first scene first, often it comes all at once, like some sort of vision. I used to write exclusively linearly...from beginning to end. The End. Now I'll write out a later scene if it comes to me and wants out early. Otherwise I risk losing it while it's new and shiny. Driving is a hazard, cause I think of plots and scenes in the car a lot. My husband just got me a little handheld voice recorder, thinking I could use it to dictate ideas or lines, but I'm not sure about it. I guess he doesn't want me driving off the road in a haze of inspiration!
