Notes: Written for bohemian21 as a get-well fic. ♥, Holly-dear!
Disclaimer: Firefly, Mal and River are not mine. I am not Joss Whedon. No, really.
Mal lost his faith years ago, but never quite lost his need for salvation. Never felt guilty about breaking the law, because that wasn't about right and wrong anyway, but some things he needed forgiveness for, and knew he'd never get it.
But slender fingers tracing over his face, resting on his lips, while she just watched him...
Her hands tracing elsewhere with an almost curious air, while her lips pressed against his...
Her name on his lips, in a low whisper, and it felt like a prayer, and maybe this was the redemption he'd been looking for.
