Author Notes: A Gen fic, about River and Mal ; Haven’t written Firefly in so long but here it goes. Feedback is helpful! Let me know what you guys think.
They land on some no named planet. For the first time in years Mal opts to stay behind with River as the rest of the crew goes into town for supplies. Word had it this town had acquired oranges - only another of Kaylee's favorite fruit - and so it was deemed acceptable to stop here.
Mal watches from the deck as the crew disappears into the sunny desert. When they are finally out of sight he spies River dancing around below him. Without a care in the world she spins and spins and spins. Mal is envious of River sometimes.
Then again the things she sees, she feels maybe he doesn’t envy her in the end. But he does understand her, sometimes. More than the others including that doctor brother of hers. And on a list of things he does that he regrets, letting River and Simon on his boat, in the end, isn’t one of them.
