Color of Graciousness by Yvi (R)
Sorry I disappeared; real life has been kicking my ass for the last few weeks, but I've got a few last-minute recs to share that'll be posted over the next few days.
Fandom: Firefly
Pairing: one-sided River/Simon
Length: almost 5k
Author on LJ: recrudescence

Why this must be read: I'm not usually one for River/Simon, but this fic is incredible. It's a beautiful description of what happened at the Academy that manages to capture River's insanity perfectly, and remain interesting despite most of the characters in the fic being OCs.
