Men, Kissing
So, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kangeiko, who just wrote a classy Centauri story from the point of view of the lady who donated her dress during the Na'Toth rescue in season 5, issued a challenge. She wanted kisses written, not kisses as foreplay to sex but as an end to themselves, and whom did she name as the people supposed to kiss
but Londo and G'Kar on the one hand and Jack Bristow and Arvin Sloane on the other. Four gentlemen I'm very fond of.
Now. The terms here were rather specific. Kissing and descriptions of same. But curse it, I'm the Victorian maiden of fanfic. (Not a pun onkangeiko's first name.) I can do innuendo, I can do dialogue, I can do afterglow, but I suck at actual sex scenes, which is why I usually don't write them. Fine, I thought, but surely I can write kissing. Hah. Alas, the results were all dialogue and minimal kissing description again. Still. Here they are. Aliens first. Remember in season 5 when Londo leaves Babylon 5 for good, G'Kar hadn't told him he'd come along, explaining to Delenn he'd spring that little surprise en route. So this is what happens when G'Kar shows up in the transport to Centauri Prime:
( Unwritten )
Next we get to the Alias pair which isn't meant to be. See, on the one hand I don't see Jack 'n Arvin as slashy. Personally, I blame Victor Garber for giving off straighter than straight vibes most of the time, because they certainly have the long and convoluted backstory, the intense relationship (in season 3, it was my main reason for watching the show), the mutal betrayals and live savings tango, etc., etc. As of the the new promo, they even have a bathroom scene. So, on the other, every now and then I just want to see a good writer pull that pairing off, because on the page, or website as it were, we don't have the problem of Victor Garber. But I'm not that writer, don't look at me. I totally chickened out and went for the preliminaries again. But it did allow me to use an observation ofandrastewhite's about the relationship. This one is set post-Hourglass at any later point of the show you want it to be, including this week's promo-advertised bathroom scene. (Because we all know he's not gonna kill him.)
