Um. So. Where do I sign up to watch the version of the last...oh...four seasons, as written by your head? Because, seriously.

I'm kind of with you on the 'supported by canon?' issue, because, honestly, it was never gonna happen on the show. Never. If I was going to let myself get smacked down by canon, it would have happened a long time ago. Non-canon shipping for any pairing is always essentially a shared fanon construct, and picking and choosing and rearranging things to make them fit is a given, so, this new thing? Eh. Handwave. J/D can go on just fine. Either through reworking and justification, like you did -- or hey, Daniel/Vala? Never happened.
