Putting on Airs
“Don’t know why you’re so pie eyed over that lady rentin’ the shuttle,” Jayne grunted as Kaylee watched Inara go by, reverence written on her face. “Seems to me like she thinks she’s awful fine and fancy, what with high class Academy learnin’ and all. Puttin’ on airs.”
Kaylee just smiled dreamily. Putting on airs was Jayne’s way of saying Inara was stuck up but for Kaylee it conjured up an image of the dark haired companion donning the sky itself-crystalline blue or star spangled black. Putting on the very air like it was one of her beautiful gowns.

Pairing: Juri/Shiori

Rating: PG
An Opponent Made of Air
Juri could prevail over anyone on the fencing team. She took them on one after the other calling “next” as each was outmatched. She practiced for hours every day hoping to forget that there was one person she could not defeat or even defend against, one person who could always hurt her. An elusive opponent who could not be touched by foil, epee or sabre. A cruel adversary whose most effective weapons were Juri’s own feelings.
Shiori held Juri’s heart and no matter how expertly Juri’s blade might sing through the air she could not sever what bound them together.

Title: Castles in the Air
Fandom: Kamikaze Girls
Pairing: Momoko/Ichigo
Word Count: 124
Rating: PG
Castles in the Air
Momoko breathed in the uninspired air of the remote Ibaraki prefecture and breathed out dreams-iridescent soap bubbles, pink and white clouds. She built and furnished castles in the air. Baroque fantasies on a par with Versailles where everything tasted like rose petal ice cream.
When she first met Ichigo she was concerned for the safety of her lovely fancies. Ichigo had axel grease under her fingernails and on her face, a loud motor bike and an equally loud mouth. She seemed like the sort to burst bubbles.
Yet amazingly Momoko found that there was tenderness in Ichigo’s hesitant kisses and that when they were together even the stupid, ugly Ibaraki prefecture seemed to sparkle and shine and taste like rose petal ice cream.

Title: Lady Dovecott and Miss Blaine
Fandom: Little Women
Pairing: Jo March/Beth March
Rating: PG
Word Count: 149
Author’s Note: True confession, when I was really little (probably 6 or 7) and my mother read Little Women to me I thought of March sisters as couples. There was Jo/Beth and Meg/Amy. Apparently I was some kind of a lesbian bad seed as a child...
Lady Dovecott and Miss Blaine
With the money Jo earned from her stories she took Beth on holiday to the shore hoping the sea air would do her good. It did seem revitalize her. For the first time in a long while there was color in Beth’s cheeks and she had the spirit to play along with her sister’s mischief.
For instance, when people at their hotel inquired as to who they were Jo did not reveal their true names. For the course of the holiday they were not Beth and Jo March of Concord but Lady Dovecott, a wealthy European heiress (prone to fits of giggling) and Miss Blaine, mysterious adventuress who was her constant companion.
They would hold hands in the dining room and sit side by side on the hotel’s wide patio exchanging tender kisses anticipating with delight the gossip they must be stirring up and secretly wishing it were true.
