Why this must be read:

I'd tell you this must be read even if it weren't the only piece of tentacle pr0n on the internet.

Urza Jaddo appeared in the season 2 episode "Knives,", but he's one of those guys who gets a lot more play in fanon than canon, because of his relationship with Londo (both "come on, those guys were SO doing it" and "interesting, Londo DOES have a morally upright friend!"). This story universally fulfills all those joneses and more, and it paints a sexy and breathless and innocent picture of Londo in his dueling youth.

Most importantly, of course, "Certamen" addresses the age-old question of how those Centauri tentacles (Andraste dubbed them "brachiarte," thus introducing that word into fanon, use it three times and it's yours) work, exactly, and she manages to make it exploratory and altogether alien and yet oddly titillating and genuinely sexy.

Urza gives up on silence altogether as Londo manages to work the other brachiarte inside his shirt and begins rubbing him in all the right places. It is difficult to hold out against an opponent who knows him so well. Not that it has ever helped Londo to beat him in a sword fight.

Apparently, the same thought is in Londo's mind as Urza relents and extends two of his own brachiarti at last. As they twine around one another and fall into a familiar rhythm, he smiles. "You see, here you never win against me."

See, that's the problem with Centauri. They rock. A whole lot. Especially Centauri like Urza, who hit me straight in my men-with-honor-and-dignity weak spot. So when someone recs tentacle pr0n...I have to read it. *whimper* I'll blame any lasting mental damage on you.

I'll take full responsibility. Especially since Andraste has in the percolator at least two more Londo/G'Kar fics in progress, both with tentacle pr0n in. poking 'Raste with pointy stick.

The Centauri rock way too much for ANYONE's good. We're dooooomed.

Dude, this story is what officially converted me to the dark side. BC (before Certamen), I was completely on board with Londo/G'Kar but was pretty well convinced that I did not want to contemplate the actual pr0n aspect of it. *g* AC, I now think the sex can be hot. Damn, what's happening to me? *g*
