BLUE SUN ROOM FAN FICTION - GENERAL

Benni
Thursday, October 12, 2006

Written for Firefly100 on LJ. Prompt was Meat. I loved doing this so much I had to have someone else edit it, I just couldn't do it. There will be a longer version later. I'm not done with it yet. I called Mal's mother Lilly, but as far as I know, she has never been offically named.

CATEGORY: FICTION TIMES READ: 2459 RATING: 9 SERIES: FIREFLY

“Mama, please!” futilely, Mal grabbed at her leg.

“I’ll eat protein packs and like ‘em, just not Benni.”

Lilly sighed, “Malcolm, you are grown enough to know that the easy thing and the right thing ain’t always the same. I got folk that need to eat.” She knelt to wipe away his tears. “I am sorry. Fallin’ in love with a cow was a foolhardy thing to do, but it shows you have heart and I am a powerful proud of that.”

Looking dejected, he nodded.

“You don’t need to be here for this, so why don’t you go see if Lenny needs help.” Proudly, she watched him run off. She called after him, stopping him.

“I got all manner of plans for you, and not one of them involves you eatin’ protein packs. The two things you can always count on?” she asked.

“The ground beneath your feet and the good Lord in the sky,” he finished, having heard and believed it his whole life.

Wow. I love this ditty fic.

The final line really highlights the changes Mal has gone through in his life perfectly.

This fic just shows how far Mal has..I want to say 'strayed' but that isn't right. How far Mal has differed from who he was as a kid. It hurts in an odd way, to know how far he's fallen.

He didn't fall, he was pushed. I really liked this and wish the piece had been longer. Ali D :~)

I love this little bit of insight into Mal. I can just see a tiny lil' Mal clinging to his mama's skirts and crying those big tears ... poor Mal!

I could see this same scenario happening to Kaylee too ... and maybe even Jayne ... great bit of insight!

Woman's got good sense. Poor little guy. Every time he falls in love it just doesn't seem to work out, except for the ship that is.

Wow...Mal's first taste of abandonment by something he showered love on. Definitely gives insight into character:D

And I don't think Mal's been pushed or strayed exactly. More like...educated in some tough lessons that have overwrote his mother's wise teachings:(

OTHER FANFICS BY AUTHOR

Even Warrior Women Get the Blues
Written for LJ community FF_Friday. The prompt was "reunion". I have been meaning to write a post-BDM Wash/Zoe thing for some time. This is my first fic in five months, so feedback would be good.

High Pressure
Written for LJ community, prompt was "mend".

Crew is in an Alliance Hospital. Mal/Simon. Non-shippy. Doctor/Patient.

Somewhere along the line, I became obsessed with something that was left out of the BDM: All that time it took to fix Serenity up and heal the crew some. There are some theroies that it could have been months between the final scene on Mr. Universe's world and the time our BDH's fly off. This takes place during that time.

...But Food Is Where The Family Is
Writte for two different prompts from two differnt LJ communities. One prompt was "the dining area" the other was a "Better Days" theme, in honor of our soon to be new canon fodder. HA! Anyway, Pre-BDH, Pre-Those Left Behind. Funny(I hope) near the point of parody.

Easy on the Ears
Written for LJ Community Firefly100. Is *very* silly. Comments are appreciated. The prompt was "mistake."

Something New
A drabble written for LJ Community Firefly100. Prompt was "new".
Look, I wrote fic that isn't M/I! Woo-Hoo!

The Cure for the Common Man-Part2/2
Finally. Manicures and more for the whole crew. M/I on the ship alone! No smut or anything fun like that, so don't get excited!
Part one is here, if ya missed it!

The Cure For The Common Man-Part One of Two
Written for LJ community ff_friday. Prompt was hands. Inara buys manicures for the crew. It got long and I hadn't even gotten to the good M/I yet, so there'll be a part 2.

Comment, please.

Seasons Change
M/I fluffy fluff. Written for LJ Commuity Sushi_Fic, but works fine as a stand alone. Inspired by 2x2's request for fall fic.

The Fruits Of My Labor
Another drabble, written for FF_100 on LJ. The prompt was "fruit". A theory about Saffron, back when that was her only name. Shortly after "OMR". Longer M/I fluff piece coming soon!
