I Fall by Kass

A Firefly story

"River knows what she wants."

I like Mal's voice in this - I find his qualms very in-character, and there's even a mention of the 'special hell'. River is also nicely drawn and I especially enjoyed how she stuck to her guns. Mal/River as a ship has things that need to be addressed before it would ever work, and while the story is too short to cover everything, it certainly gives it a fair shot. Well-written, and an engrossing study of an awkward relationship. Lovely words.
