Londo/G'Kar is the romantic pairing of the characters Londo Mollari and G'Kar on the television show Babylon 5.
As ‘ships go, Londo/G’Kar is profoundly non-traditional, not simply because of the middle-aged alien anatomy involved, but also because most fan interpretations of the pairing are far from exclusive. Londo/G’Kar is also a comic ‘ship, brimming with sarcasm and wit. And lastly, Londo/G’Kar is blessed to be framed by a rich, epic tragedy that spans twenty years and is informed by a bloody colonial history that spans more than a century.[1]
Like all pairings in this fandom, it was affected by J. Michael Straczynski's ban on fanfic while the show was still on the air. [2]
[add some history of the ship here and how it only really started off after the show ended]

Do you ever read any? <straczynski> No, because it opens me up to legal problems. It's caused at least one author to lose an entire book's worth of work because her publisher was afraid of being sued because it was close to some fanfic out there. All I've asked is that it be kept where I can't see it without expending effort to protect myself. Beyond that, I imagine it's pretty cool (and the first one to do Garibaldi/G'Kar Slash fiction gets it in the neck).-- from JMS chat transcript (Jun 23, 2000)
