The recorder is more for ideas...like 'Hey, that's when the bar fight should occur, and here's what will set it off!'
I will look forward to Vir & Londo; love those two. Vir's arc is one of my favorites, how he grows and matures. It's the inverse of my poor Lennier's.
L/I came about mostly because I wanted Lennier to come back, and not just to die in the Telepath War (stupid JMS.) I wanted redemption and re-birth and new beginnings. I wanted Susan to be happy, and was a) never convinced that Marcus could do that for her and b) the Marcus thaw stories left me cold (aargh, the punnery!) It's AU in that I have Susan returning from the Rim in 2270, but instead of becoming a General and desk-bound in Geneva, quitting the Force to run the Anla'Shok while John is still alive. That gives me lovely John&Susan and Susan&Delenn interactions too. Lennier returns, a changed man from his adventures in exile (and that is crucial), and they click. It's a long story, and I took a long time to set the whole thing up. They are both so wounded and so cautious it took a bit of maneuvering to get them together.
It's a bit like your Londo & G'Kar needs. In short, we love them, and want them to be happy, in as much as they are capable of it.
