Author: Jen (jazzfic)
Rating: PG
Characters/Pairings: Mal (hints of Mal/River)
Words: 1,523
Disclaimer: None of it is mine, as usual, I merely borrow.
Notes: serenity_santa gift for my dear whatever_we_are. To say I was thrilled to get to write for you is somewhat of an understatement. You have always been so supportive to me, and a wonderful beta reader--any mistakes here, of course, are all mine :D Merry Christmas.
Summary: In times of difficulty, he tells the others that their refuge is this ship. He will never admit that his own is denial.

( The last of the shells are still fizzing in the earth, when he finally accepts the order to stop. )

Title: The Special Kind
Author: Jen (jazzfic)
Rating: PG
Pairing: Mal/Kaylee
Words: 4,417
Disclaimer: The characters belong to Joss, I'm just playing around with things.
Summary: All love stories must begin somewhere; Kaylee's is no different.
Notes: serenity_santa gift for lusciouspandora. This is the first time I've attempted Mal/Kaylee, so I'm very nervous about it all, to say the least (although it did turn out to be more Kaylee/Serenity/Mal than anything...OT3 anyone?). Anyway, I do hope you like it.

( That it had been an inglorious first meeting was an undeniable fact. )

Title: A Thing of Simple Feeling
Author: Jen (jazzfic)
Rating: PG
Pairings: Will/Marian, Will/Djaq, Much/Djaq
Words: 2,167
Spoilers: For 2x10 'Walkabout'
Disclaimer: Property of the BBC, and all those who make awesome television out of British legends. And not a scrap of it belongs to me.
Summary: Will Scarlett contemplates the women in his life.
Notes: secretsheriff gift for velvet_midnight. I admit that at first I didn't know how I was going to handle Will's POV, as he's not a character I've ever written before. But I think it all worked itself out in the end. Fingers crossed, anyway. I do hope you like it.

( Had she taken Gisborne's hand and accepted his proposal, Will knows he'd have done nothing to stop her, or cared in the slightest as to what Robin's reaction might have been. )
