At this rate, I'm going to have these requests done by, oh, the next millennium. And I know I said ficlets, so...just imagine this is smaller than it is ;)

The Man in the Mirror, PG, 1791 words
For telynmurali; Doctor Who; Jack, Nine, Ten--sunshine and puppies.
In which our Hero hides from the rain, gets waylaid by eager salesman...and meets a stranger who's strangely familiar.

( There was a man in the mirror. There was a man in the mirror, and that man wasn't Jack. )

Boy Soldier, G, 379 words
For invisibleshrew; Firefly, Zoe--choices.
She'd watched too many die like this.

( You believe me, don't you, Sir? I had no choice. )

Title: The Bird and the Quiet Pursuit
Author: Jen (jazzfic)
Rating: PG
Characters/Pairing: Simon/Inara.
Words: 2,470
Disclaimer: Does not belong to me, however much I'd like it to.
Summary: Inara has always trusted her own intuition; getting others to do the same isn't so easy.
Notes: For fireworkfiasco, who asked for Simon/Inara and the prompt 'satin', and who I hope will forgive me for this strange offering. Next request will be all about how muse/muse broke up and left this poor writer referring to herself in the third person in an inane attempt to be droll. Or, you know...something like ;)

( Those were the days when we were still keeping secrets, and I don't think I gave him enough credit for his patience, for what he didn't say when he had the chance to. )

Title: Beyond the world
Author: Jen (jazzfic)
Rating: PG-13
Characters/Pairing: Mal/Zoe
Words: 4,675
Disclaimer: It's all Whedon's, boys and girls.
Summary: What happened after the war stayed there, until they had no place to go but the black.
Notes: For razycrandomgirl, who asked for Mal/Zoe, which I hadn't written in a long while, so I'm hoping it's, well, believable. Setting is pre-series. This goes slightly into AU territory, and assumes there was a longer time-span from when Mal and Zoe left the camps after the war, to when Mal bought Serenity.

( There's none so lost as a soldier, when a war's long done. )

I'm badly trying to resist changing the name of my 'WIP' folder to 'RIP', 'cause people, it's going from no to bloody where. So...this is where I say: prompt me, without it looking like I'm waving a white flag around.

Seriously, whatever you want. Pairing, genre, it doesn't matter.

Except, actually, it all matters. I'm here at your bidding ;)

Last one guys...and I was really enjoying these too! Guess I've got no excuses now for not working on this other fic. But I promise it'll get finished. Maybe after tax time ;)

Intravenous, PG, 1220 words
For whatever_we_are who requested Mal/River, infirmary, healing. This was a funny one, didn't turn out quite as I had intended. But that's not always a bad thing. Mouse rollover for Chinese translations.

( 'I know I'm not like the others,' she blurted. 'Not pretty like Inara. Not happy like Kaylee. I get frightened and want to run but I don't. I think of you, and I don't.' )

And lo, request number two.

Where it Ends, PG, 1037 words
For: fireworkfiasco who wanted Mal/River, stranded in a shuttle. Warning: Unapologetic use of second person POV and heavy-handed angst. Come on people, it had to happen sometime.

( The point where it ends exists in a world far beyond your imagining. But you never imagined the end would be like this. )

First of my fic requests...two more to go. I'm a speed demon, I am *g*

One Hundred China Dolls, PG, 1045 words
For: ninamazing who wanted Mal/River/River's hair/Infirmary steps

( One hundred China dolls, toe to toe, all in a row... )

Okay so while I'm humming and erring at pointless lengths over this other story, I've decided in the meantime to do some more ficlets. So if anyone has any requests (characters, pairings, setting etc) drop me a comment.

Thanks!
