Fic: All Motion Stopped (Firefly: River, Mal, PG)

[jazzfic]

I was beginning to wonder if I could write anything these days that wasn't just a shopping list. When in doubt, return to where you started.

All Motion Stopped, Firefly: River, Mal; PG; 1,102 words
For fireworkfiasco, who is clever and talented and wrote the first paragraph, and very generous to let me play with the rest.

♥ Mal and River, always.

Lovely descriptions and POV throughout. Favorite bit:

River breathes deeply; her heart thumps inside her chest, a fluttering sensation that is no longer erratic but beginning, just beginning, to sound of certainty. That. That is reason enough to stay--if nothing else, that is enough.

Yeah :) I still have much love for these two, it all came back writing this.

Thanks heaps for reading.

Oh, you just ROCK. Thank you so much for this -- I've been missing Mal and River lately. There are so many things I loved about this and I want to quote them all back to you, but I've been up for many hours and my brain is fading, so it'll have to wait.

Thank you kindly! It felt really, really nice to return to these two. I'm so glad you feel the same :D

Absolutely lovely. It seems like this pairing isn't written often enough.

[jazzfic]

Thank you! I would certainly write more if real life wasn't so busy -- always the way, I guess ;)

"She imagines the gun drawn, dangerous weapon in the surest hands in the 'verse. Drawn to muscle out a deal, drawn as an unspoken statement.

To protect, she thinks. He would protect them all."

Those lines made me *shiver.* Lovely.

Thanks so much :)

I was just passing by to see if you had written anything lately that I had missed (real life being crazy right now), and evidently, I did miss something. Would you mind if I friended you, so it won't happen again? I love the way you write these two and the way you write them together. Finding this completely made my day.

Sure thing! Usually I cross post to one of the firefly comms but I was lazy on this occasion ;)Very kind of you to stop by.
