Sometimes, God sends us people to show us who we really are.
This was my thought as I read this, because this is how real these characters have become to me. Sometimes I forget they are not real people.
This is the sort of thing I was aching for in that one episode... I am lost on titles right now because I just came to the show last year. The one where Londo comes offer somewhat of an apology to G'Kar and instead of drinking with him, G'Kar pours the drink back in the bottle and rejects him completely. That scene devastated me.

I burned myself out on fan fic (X-Files) back in the day. I became spoiled because I got to know so many excellent writers, and so it wasn't like I had to dig through tons of garbage to get to some quality writing. But since XF ended, I haven't really sought out fic for any of my other fandoms. (I think I overdosed on it in general.) And now it would be a hit-or-miss effort in trying to find something worthwhile. I simply don't have the patience or mental energy for that anymore.
That is why I am so glad for hobsonphile's rec and that I chose to read it. I couldn't tear myself away. And these days with my attention span being what it is, that's saying a lot.
This was so very powerful and real. I felt like I was watching the show. In fact, I think I'll include this in my personal 'canon', until it melds so closely with the official story that I will no longer be able to distinguish the two.
