andrastewhite did one of the shipping memes and mentioned her squick about mentor/student pairings. I'm so with her. Especially since most of those relationships are presented as being parent/child-like in canon. No matter whether it's Buffy/Giles (or Giles/Any of the Scoobies, for that matter), Duncan/Richie, or Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan - it's just one big "NO" for me. Thank the Great Maker nobody has ever thought of doing that to Londo and Vir. This is where being pouchy aliens gets in handy.
However, thinking of Vir now again reminds me of my Vir-is-Sam theory, and back I am in LotR territory...
