Fic: Drabbles
In response to my challenge thegranddewru requested 3 drabbles from the song Right Here by StainD. Sadly, I had all three written when my word program decided to shut itself down. And it doesn't recover anything. So I had to rewrite two of these. And they never turn out as good as the first version. *sighs*
More still to come. Perhaps tomorrow though.

I really like the way that you showed Inara taking all of the emotional beatings from Mal, time after time, and continuing to take them. I get the feeling that she allows him to do it because she loves him and maybe in some twisty way, she knows that he has feelings for her as well and that's why he hurts her so much? Maybe, maybe not, but that was the impression I got from your drabble, and I really liked it.
Aww, and the Zoe/Wash one was depressing yet strangely calming. I liked that River provided a bit of emotional closure to Zoe, very interesting. And I agree with the others; the "He bent to teach you how" line is a very good one. :) Nice job.
Augh, and "This Kinda Life" was such a heartbreaker! I found myself willing Simon to hurry up with the captain and come see to Jayne, I was so desperate for Jayne to live. :( That bit about Simon having to choose one life over another was very powerful, and also very realistic. For some reason, that line about Wash trying to hold himself in also hit me with particular force, I think because the action can almost be taken literally, as if that really were the reason he was crossing his arms over his chest. I dunno, just a powerful mental image to me. Also, the fact that Jayne is comforting Kaylee as he's dying almost put me to tears, such a sweet, sweet drabble.
He took his time, making sure his last words came out right. “You’re the only thing in this ‘verse worth bleedin’ for.”
