Apparently, she has powers or persuasion even I cannot resist. Also, it really is a perfect match, no?

Jayne with Destruction. Book with Destiny. I'd be more tempted to put Zoe with Death, but I'm not a huge Simon fan, so... Wash with Dream? Or Mal? They're both romantics.

[musesfool]

Zoe and Death would be one hell of a conversation.

Well, yes. Or Zoe and Destruction. Possibly more enlightening than Jayne. *G*

Or Kaylee, really. Watch them try to out-perk each other. She's been close enough to death that that scene would be easy to wrangle

Hee! That'd be so cute, and could slot right into canon.

Though of course, Simon and Death could be heartbreaking.

Mal and Dream would be great, but I'd really like to see him face down Despair.

Well, Mal and Despair was my gut reaction, but I was hesitant about it - maybe thinking it was too obvious? But you're right. It'd be gutwrenching, too, if done right.

Which leaves Wash and Dream (because he wouldn't *get* Wash, but Wash is so totally his).

The narrative disjoint in these lines, between when she's in the engine room and when she's with Mal, works wonderfully here.

Thanks!

I was definitely going for a sense of dislocation, both in time and space.

The captain strokes her hair, gentle, even when his voice is angry. "Maybe someday," he says, and finally, she sleeps.

*sniff*

I don't know the Sandman universe at all, and this was still great.

[musesfool]

Thanks, Celli!

You don't really need to know much, except that Delirium is the anthropomorphization (sp?) of insanity, and is, as such, timeless, or in the vernacular of Sandman, one of the Endless. But I'm glad it works without that knowledge. *g*

I can't tell you how much of a crime this is-- god, I needs money to buy all you people the books.

[musesfool]

Hee!

I do think they're available at most libraries, so you can save your money for converting the world to SportsNight love or something. *g*

Thank you!

That...was very cool.

This part was my favorite:

The words are meaningless, because it is always right now for River, every moment that’s ever happened to her is happening right now but she can’t explain. Kaylee wouldn’t understand.

[musesfool]

Thank you!

And that's the part that comes from the caption on the Del icon, which is what pearl_o requested of me. *G*
