Request for recs

Ok, ok. I give up, throw in the towel, cry uncle, etc. Could someone rec me some good B5 fanfic, please? More than anything, I want gen. Character moments, fic that brings the funny, more of the breathtaking world JMS has created. Beyond that, I would love some good Susan/Talia. Also Londo and G'Kar - paired or gen; each interacting with other people, or on his own - I just plain want more of them.

I think all of you know my standards for what quallifies as good fic, at this point. Characterization is paramount, but grammar, plot, etc. are not to be ignored. Character bashing - particularly as this is a show where I at the very least like all the characters - would make me cry, then throw stuff.

I've given up on avoiding spoilers. Besides, JMS makes a point of telling you what he's going to do, then making the *how* a surprise.

I'm bad with recs, but I do know [livejournal.com profile] leyenn writes Susan/Talia, and from what I remember it's good. She'll also has links to comms in her info and at least one website (unless it's changed since I last looked) that has more fic.

I stress, I'm not usually more than ankle-deep in fic in fandom, and my memories of B5 fic reading are hazy, but yes.

Bwaha. Links to appropriate fic from Leyenn can be found: http://leyenn.net/

Including a Susan/Talia fansite.

And I just read some of her newer fic (Doctor Who actually!). I forgot how much I love her prose. Gah.

Thanks! The site seems to be down, but I've located her fic through her livejournal. Much yay!

Dammit, I should've checked the site. Sorry!

It's all right. Sad, though. Looked to be a good site, from the splash page.

Narn and Centauri fanfiction, voila:

(Mainly from [livejournal.com profile] andrastewhite, [livejournal.com profile] hobsonphile and myself; each of us has written a lot more than is archived there, but it's a start)

*waves* Nice to meetcha, and thanks! This is just the sort of thing I was looking for, having mainlined a good deal of Andraste's work last night.
