Hehe, sounds like me and Legend of Arislan. A fair chunk of the little fic that's out there is Daryoon/Narsus, and ... yeah, they have about the same level of interaction.

My thinking is, once you've seen the canon, there's nothing wrong with preferring non-canon fanworks as long as a) you're enjoying yourself and b) you don't lose sight of the fact that it's fanon.
