Thanks. At least it's not a complete disappointment.
Your fic sounds intriguing. I'd say go AU and make the fic as shippy as you want: it's *your* fanfic. That means you can handwave whatever you want to.
Ordinarily I'd agree with you; however, for this to work, I need readers to bring some canon background to it. For example, there's a scene, not to mention an important line in another scene, that hinges on people remembering Delenn gets kicked off the Grey Council in mid-S2, but I never explicitly reference that kicking off. So as much as I would like to, I can't just completely disregard canon without indicating as such and then making some kind of logical leap to the next part of canon I am keeping.
But rivendellrose's suggestion is currently working beautifully, and it allows me to get rid of Lorien at the same time, so I'm very happy! :D
