Title: Mad Melodies
Series: Spin Me Right Round (1/15)
Rating: G
Takes Place: pre-Objects in Space
River dances on beds of stars. Serenity hums alongside her - a thin, metallic melody that defies measure, pitch and tempo.
Jayne - the big, gun-laden fool who growls and gallops like some sort of untamed stallion - snorts at her well-practiced routine as he watches from backstage. "What're ya doin', moonbrain? Ain't no music for ya to be dancin' to."
No music?
How could he not hear it? How could he miss that melody, subtle and soft, caressing them all? She knows he isn't deaf. So as she continues to dance, River decides he's crazier than she'll ever be.

Rating: G-ish
Takes Place: post-Objects in Space, pre-BDM
Up. Down. Up. Down.
Her eyes drink him in, a visual feast for a starving, scraggly girl. Strong muscle dances beneath flesh, a dark and dangerous ballet. Fire flickers to life inside her and she hopes it is only detached curiosity that makes her burn.
Her eyes are digging in too deeply and he suddenly realizes he's being observed. "What're you lookin' at? Best not be thinkin' o' slicin' me up again."
"No slicing," she assures him, continuing to stare. His body is still and she regrets her avid attentions caused the sudden intermission. "Only want to watch you dance."

Title: Partners
Series: Spin Me Right Round (10/15)
Rating: G
Takes Place: post-BDM
River watches the couples on Serenity dance.
Mal and Inara are the most complicated - they spin and swerve and almost never falter. Simon and Kaylee prefer simpler steps. The sway and turn, though occasionally he'll step on her toes. Zoe dances alone, out of the spotlight, what should be a routine for two.
River watches and knows she is lonely. But there is someone who also needs a partner. When she takes the first tentative steps in a new dance with Jayne, she can't help but wonder if they only dance together because they're the only ones left alone.

His kisses are as hot as fire.
It seems she's waited forever for this intimate dance of lips, hands and bodies. But nothing could have prepared her - so she stops trying to quantify and does not regret feeling everything.
He tastes like alcohol and smells nearly as strong. His thoughts are syrupy thick and besides searing pleasure pulses she can't read him.
She knows she's taking advantage, knows that the crew won't forgive him - but she can't make herself care. Because as his hands push past her dress, all she knows is he is entirely hers at last.

"I don't care."
Jayne shoves clothes into his bag, steadfastly refusing to meet River's eye.
"Acceptance will come - they will see us and know you make me real. Objections are meaningless; I do not care." Her eyes shine with tears.
His belongings are packed or being worn. Except Vera. He touches her barrel gently, remembering an offer to trade her for a living, breathing girl. He'd give his entire arsenal for the girl before him.
He sets Vera beside River and leaves, never even sparing her a glance. And he never looks back, not even when all he hears are her cries.

Title: Little Red
Written For: rayne_shippers August Challenge
Prompt: "My, what big teeth you have!"
Rating:PG
Takes Place: post-Objects in Space
"My, what big teeth you have!"
"Gorramit! Moonbrain, git yourself away from that thing. Don'cha know they eat bitty things like you?"
"But over the river and through the woods - to Grandmother's house we go."
"What? Ain't got time to listen to crazy talk. I told Mal I'd take you to this ruttin' animal-show, and I did. Ain't takin' you to your gorram Grandmother's. An' stay the hell away from the cages."
"I have treats. A basket of goodies that mother made."
"Treats, huh? What kinda treats?"
"Hooded in red, I come from afar. Cookie?"
"Only if it's chocolate."

Title: Ten Little Moonbrains
Rating: G
Takes Place: Spanning series and movie
One little, two little, three little moonbrains.
River: Simon's mei mei, the broken doll - a flailing girl with a battered brainpan.
Four little, five little, six little moonbrains.
She'd proven dangerous. But she was reconnecting, trying to heal the inflictions of probing, blue-tinted hands.
Seven little, eight little, nine little moonbrains.
Now everyone was broken. The secret driving her mad was gone, and blissful sanity, if not normality, came filtering back. They had relied on her; she'd become family. And one warm, permeable appreciation was slowly filling up all her empty spaces.
And one big boy with a gun.
