I am so fucking angry right now, I'm trying to think of a time I've been more angry. I was crying yesterday I was so angry, and I woke up and it's still here. Argh.

Waah, I hope this isn’t horrific; I’m terrible at writing firefly prompts. Can’t manipulate the characters properly yet, but you’re giving me practice. <3 Hadn’t read that fairytale before either though, so, WIN.

Small Hours

Serenity has no sky and she has no ground beneath her. Steel and iron and a perfected mix of alloys and raw metals that were patented for a tidy fortune. Stars and space all the way around, the sky becomes the ground becomes the sky becomes the ground.

There is no sky or ground.

“Don’t open the coffin, Simon.”

“What? River?”

There is no sky or ground.

Swallow that down, drink it down, breathe it down through your lungs, don’t exhale. Make yourself believe. Make believe.

Make believe that the singing will guard you tight. Bird’s song, on the tree, guarding the coffin. Hum, humming. Serenity’s song, light and soft and made of a tiny bits of fireflies. The pretty parts that glow, not the elytra, mandibles, or the prothorax. Not those parts, no

*covers your mouth* No more talk of terrible- it is crazy talk. This prompt sounds just like River, eloquently gives us a picture of what her thought processes probably ARE like (poor sweet girl) and omg one, I'd never heard of this fairytale and two you made it work really really well. *commends the prompter too! ;D*

More- loved the relationship links you showed River-Kaylee, Kaylee-Simon, Simon-River, they were all lovely, Jayne and Mal were loud and clear (and w00t for not telling us who they were, since River isn't there doesn't care (rather, she isn't paying enough attention to take note).

This was freaking *perfect*.

The first time I read it, I shivered for the creep factor. The second time I shivered and cried. :( *pets poor River*

Now I'm going back up to re-read mine XD because it's lovely, funny, silly and will make me feel better.

I stress terribly over Firefly fandom, sigh. Buuut, yes, it was a fun fairytale to work with. Was well chosen, eie.

Mwah, thanks hun! *snugs* You make me feel that at least I was successful in what I was trying to do, which with River-fic, is always uncertain, so... I heart you soooo much. <3<3<3<3
