*****************************

“Jayne Cobb! How many times I gotta tell ya ? DON’T TOUCH! I swan child, you’re never gonna get full growed with all your digits attached. How you gonna git through life with no fingers is beyond me.” Jayne could hear his mother’s oft-repeated lament echo in his mind, but now, as then, he could not seem to stop himself.

He had touched her once in anger, backhanding her across the kitchen area. His pain and anger blinding him to the feel of her fragile cheekbone and the warmth of her blood on his knuckles.

He had touched her once with traitorous hands on Ariel, binding her to a chair.

He had touched her with irritation or humor, depending on his mood, when his hand brushed hers as she stole bread from his plate.

He had touched her once in the Maidenhead. Defending her back, then wrapping his arms around her compact, athletic little body, in the misguided belief she might need savin. Just before she touched him with hands and table, laying him out flat.

He had touched her trembling form in the bank on Lilac when the Reaver’s rage had racked her body and mind into immobility.

And Gods he had wanted to touch her when the blast doors opened revealing her still standing surrounded by dead Reavers. His body had ached and his blood had burned with need the way an alcoholic needed booze. He had been overwhelmed with the desire to run his hands over her trembling form, to slide his tongue and lips over her salty, sweat slicked skin.

Now he watched his trembling hand reach toward her again. This time she was smiling bewitchingly into his eyes. This time she reached small warm hands up to cup his face between gentle palms.

She touched him. She touched his heart and captured his soul.

What Did I Ever Do To Deserve This?
I gave this line to some High School students as a story starter and ended up with my own version for Simon.

Everybody Needs a Hobby
Simon finds something to do in his spare time. This was one of those drabbles that simply will not let ya go until ya give it life and set it free. Sorry if it is a bit terse or disjointed. I might come back later and flesh it out. Thanks for letting me give it wings.

Fire and Fury
This is the companion piece to Cry Havoc. It can stand alone but I feel reading the other first gives things a better flow. This tkaes place at the end of the BDM and might be sort of a spoiler if you have not seen it yet. It is River's POV right after the wall comes down. PLEASE leave feedback. I really want to get better at this

Cry Havoc
After River taps into her Alliance training to save her "family" at the end of Serenity can she just let go?

They Took Christmas Away
Something that came to me while watching Ariel. It is the first thing I have written and shared. I hope it pleases. Short ficlet.....The world and all the characters of course and without question belong to Joss...thanks for letting the rest of us play here.
