Whiskey and Wine

Title: Surefire
Author: m.jules
Pairing: Mal/River centric.
Disclaimer: These guys belong to Joss; I’m just playing with them ‘cause I can.
Summary: A series of possible events leading up to the dance/shootout scene in “Safe”.
Notes: I shouldn't be posting this yet, because I wrote it in 45 minutes and I'm tired and nobody else has even looked at it and it's kind of stream-of-consciousness but probably not nearly that cool... so, you guys, consider yourself my betas. Tell me what works for you and what doesn't, and we'll see where it goes from there.
Notes The Second: This is a repost of my very first Firefly fic. It was brought to my attention that the original post (made on March 23, 2005) had been locked in my personal journal. It's here now. :)

Title: Jiě Tuō
Author: m.jules
Fandom: Firefly
Pairing: Mal/River
Prompt: 94, “Independence”
Rating: PG, unless you count the Chinese translations
Word Count: 919
Disclaimer: Joss’s. Love, not money.
Author's Notes: I keep trying to write drabbles. 100 words, I tell myself firmly. Then they end up being nine times that long. At this rate, I’m not going to finish these prompts in less than two years.

Serenity Spoilers - Takes place during Serenity, and in off-screen moments. Also, ties in loosely with the universe of my other prompt-fics. One of these days, I’ll line them up in chronological order so you’ll know what order to read them in. Until now, you can go to my user info page for my complete table,
plus links, of which ones have been done.

Title translates as "Emancipate, free oneself."

Title: Crippled Lion
Author: m.jules
Fandom: Firefly
Pairing: Mal/River
Prompt: 24, "Family"
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 959
Disclaimer: Joss’s. Love, not money.
Author's Notes: Thanks to mollita for holding my hand and assuring me it was okay to post. Title from "The Crippled Lion", written by Michael Nesmith, recorded by the Monkees. Story really has very little do with the song. Nothing, in fact.

Title: Tension Is a Passing Note
Author: m.jules
Fandom: Firefly
Pairing: Mal/River
Prompt: 65, "Passing"
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 602
Disclaimer: Joss’s. Love, not money.
Author's Notes: mollita is writing what promises to be my favorite Mal/River AU *ever*, and so to bribe her, I wrote this for her. It was supposed to be River talking dirty (because we figured that would be something to hear) but I'm not sure it turned out that way. If you don't think it follows the prompt, either, well... okay, it kind of doesn't. But maybe, if you play free association with it, it kind of makes sense. *G* Mid-Serenity, so spoilers ahoy!

This is set ( Serenity spoilers! )

Title: Albatross
Author: m.jules
Fandom: Firefly
Pairing: Mal/River
Prompt: 23, “Lovers”
Rating: Slightly mature. Heavy PG-13, light R.
Word Count: 2,468
Disclaimer: Joss’s. Love - so much love! - not money.

Light spoilers for Serenity, the movie. Thanks to Mark for offering encouragement and suggestions.

Title: I Am Not An Illusion
Author: m.jules
Rating: ?
Pairing: Mal/River
Summary: Stream-of-consciousness River-thoughts through the movie.
Author's Notes: BIG DAMN SERENITY SPOILERS. This was my River-muse's reaction to the movie while I was watching it so if you haven't seen it, not only will it not make sense, it will spoil you, and this movie is best seen as a virgin. *G* Thanks to mollita for looking it over and saying, "Post!" just_like_rogue, hope this fills your M/R needs until I can get an honest-to-God smutfic written for them.

Title: Desire
Author: m.jules
Summary: "You dream so loudly she aches with it and she wakes me up because she can't sleep."
Disclaimer: Joss's. Love, not money.
Pairing: Mal/River
Author's Notes: It's all Molly's fault, for one. I'm in awe and in love. *Grins* Two, the title? I decided I wanted to try a Mal/River, and that I would title it after the very first song that played on my iTunes. So I hit random, and U2 started singing "Desire" and I thought - oh hell, that should be easy. It kind of was, although I have to apologize for the weird POV. It's through Mal's eyes but with River's voice, so maybe it's River-inside-Mal's head doing all the narrating. *grins* And now, at 3 AM, I'm going to bed.
