Title - Changes
Fandom - Firefly (pre Objects in Space)
Pairing - Kaylee/Inara
Challenge 52 - Old
Word Count - 100
Rating - not even PG13
AN - This is not what I intended - there was going to be a whole lot more actual relationship and maybe even some sex but this is what my drugged up mind (thanks to my mutated arm) has produced.



Sometimes I wonder if my power is slipping. A companion requires many skills, all of which will outlast my beauty, but clients are very superficial creatures. Less and less of them are falling hopelessly in love with me and I’m not sure if it is because my skin is becoming less tight, my body less taught or because I no longer want them to love me. I feel like life on Serenity is making me old, it’s changing me, distorting my values and altering my priorities but it’s my home and I can’t leave here because I can’t leave her.

Title - Old Habits
Fandom - Firefly/Serenity
Pairing - Kaylee/River Kaylee/Inara

AN - Drug addled brain is apparently more River friendly



I grew extra eyes. From my hands, feet, nose, tongue, ears, even my mind. I don’t need my real eyes but they remind me of before. They tell me less. I can choose what they see. I’m shown many things that make me wish I were blind. I stroke her skin but it’s not my touch she imagines, she burns for another. She bites her tongue, it’s pointless, I know it’s not my name on her lips. I can’t close my brain so I close my eyes and for a while I can be Inara and I can be loved.
