Oh, prompts! You can never have enough prompts.

I love how Mal's voice changes when he's speaking to River. Sends a little shiver through me. Yeah...

Nandi! Great character study for both her and Inara. I'm not a good judge of femmeslash, but I liked this a lot. Just so you know :)

Hee...Mulder and his proof. I think he'd make River an x-file all of her own, if he could, and probably still never figure her out.

Well done on all three, loved them all (and reading Firefly again. Really loved that, too!)

Thank you for being my first commenter and for making me feel way less insecure about my take on these prompts. :D

You can never have enough prompts.

So true.

I love how Mal's voice changes when he's speaking to River. Sends a little shiver through me.

Yay! :D I always write Mal to be attractive to ME, so it's very exciting that the stuff I see in my head is attractive to other people too. He just naturally does it with River. BECAUSE HE LOVES HER.

Great character study for both her and Inara.

THANK you. *glows*

I think he'd make River an x-file all of her own, if he could, and probably still never figure her out.

That just makes me want to write more of them. *BLUSHES* I am so weird. But I love the Mulder/River cross. They egg each other on.

Ooooh Inara/Nandi, one of my personal favourite kinks ;o) Really nice, I liked it a lot, especially Inara's anger at her teachers for singling her out while the real lessons were learnt from each other. Love this pairing! :oD

Hurray! :D I totally might write more of them, too -- I really enjoyed doing this. It gives me a lot of new insight on both their characters, and it makes more sense to me than any pairings they had on the show.

Thanks so much for your comments. :)

Oooo, sweet femslash. I think you did a great job for your first time. It's spicy and dangerous and I like the mentor-student relationship.

I also like your characterization of River that pins down how she can be fierce and wild, but also a bit off-putting or vulnerable.

Thank you so much! :DDDD I'm glad the femmeslash worked -- I want to do more.

Sometimes I'm afraid I make River too vulnerable, so it was really good to hear that. <33333 Thank you, again. :)

Mal/River is my OTP, and I love the little slice of life you've shown us.

Yay! It's a good OTP. And thank you so much for the feedback -- I'm really glad it worked for you. :)

I love all three but especially the last one. River would be the perfect match for Mulder. And I just love the line "This X-file is closed." because I'm imagining a future where people actually knew what the X-files were. And Scully wandering in, late as usual, was perfect. Nicely done!

Thank you so much! :DDDD You caught all the little things I was trying to do with the piece. And I find myself strangely drawn to River/Mulder -- it really would work, wouldn't it?

Thanks again. :)
