Title: HOW TO COME TO POWER, IN SHORT, EASY STEPS

I did not become Captain of the Firefly for power. Nope, I took the job because I was lazy. Yep, and not even ashamed of it.

That is the one job I can have without having a weenie, pansy ass telling me what to do, when to do it and how to do it.

Okay, that wasn’t about my laziness but about the hard time I have accepting to take orders. Still, it takes the edge off receiving orders... The heck it does!

So, yes, the next pleasure out of my riff-raff life is the knowledge that I can sleep on my deck, refuse a shipment, eat out of cans and play cards with the locals.

Today, I’m testing some waters… a hidden cove, a lush girl, and no worries in sight! Yes, a bit of laziness, as I said.

Well, that’s my definition of power, individual power, lasting power; to me, anyway.

The End.

Title: Kids, do not do this at work!

Author: Pat aka Cordy69

Firefly NC-17 (Simon/Kaylee)

Prompts: Simon, Kaylee, engine room, exhausted, formal dinner, on the road again, blinfold

 

Kids, do not do this at work!
by Pat

The subdued musical notes were floating from the kitchen and reaching the recesses of the ship, lulling the exhausted bodies trudging together in the engine room to rest. The space was small, as safe to Kaylee as Simon’s arms, smelling of grease and engines and simply representing home and shelter. The formal dinner that got all of the crew dressed on their nines sapped all their energies; the two lovers barely made it back and crashed in the room that made Kaylee the happiest. Simon tie was simply hanging around his neck; the first three buttons of his shirt were undone, his cufflinks gone. Kaylee dress was bunched up high on her thighs, her dress shoes discarded a few feet away, and the matching purse abandoned not far. Her hand searched for his, and with strength she now completely associated with the man that stole her heart he pulled her to him, the defined and lean muscles molding to her soft body and kissed her with the passion of a starving man. He knew how to help her unwind; almost as much as another trip with her baby, Serenity. It was fitting in a way to have the chorus of On the Road Again, that old earthly tune saved by Jayne, playing through the speakers spread throughout the craft. She wanted to be in the air already, luckily Simon could give her the same feeling, right here, right now.

 

The kisses they shared were sweet and she was ready to surrender to the man holding her, but he suddenly took a step back, a hand on Kaylee’s hip to steady her and a small smile pursing his full lips.

 

“Close your eyes, baby.”

 

“Simon?” and after a beat Kaylee added “Why?”

 

“Just follow my lead, will you?”

 

She was a little surprised, nothing in his usual demeanor ever hinted at him being able to surprise someone or have the guts to order anyone around, but his tone broke no argument so with a sigh she let her eyes flutter close.

 

He put his tie around her expectant face and attached it under the bun she had created earlier without any harsh or brusque movement. She could see a small ray of light if she focused her gaze down but nothing else. He slipped behind her and with the deft fingers that made him such a successful surgeon he started removing her garments, slowly and methodically, letting the fabrics fall softly along her taut body, and caressing her curves with his warm hands.

 

Wavering a little, she set her own hand on the one he had left on her thigh and aligns her body to his, resting her full weight on him and taking pleasure in the feel of the fully clothed man covering her naked form. For a moment the only sound she could hear was her own labored breathing, then the song came alive as his fingers, playing a new symphony on her bust, each nipple invited to join the music and excited to be taking care of with so much attention. She undulated slowly against Simon and felt him become rigid behind her that alone made her wet, ready for him, eager to be pleasured.

 

He stood back, left her standing alone, naked, shivering and anxious. She waited, trying to hear everything she couldn’t see. The point though was that Simon was awfully silent. So she imagined what he was doing instead. Maybe he was opening up his shirt, letting his pants fall down, and stroking himself, all for her. Of course, when she felt the ice traveling lightly on her taut midriff, dripping short little drops in the curly hair hiding the path to her core, she couldn’t hold her position and jumped a little to the side, away from the strong arm ghosting in front of her.

 

“Simon! Quit it!” she yelped a little breathless, still shocked by the change of temperature.

 

“Shh…” and then a swipe of a rough tongue over her navel made her swing the other way.

 

His hands came to hold her in place and through the small slit underneath the make shift blindfold she could see the black mop of hair closing in on her. Kaylee felt her thighs being nudged open and those gorgeous lips of his closing in on her excited clit, peeking from her folds eager to be tasted and enjoyed. Her man, so did not disappoint! Shuddering, she laid her hands on his shoulders, leaning slightly to keep her stance, keening lowly while whispering encouragement to Simon, shifting non-stop to find and then keep the most satisfying position she could find.

 

Kaylee couldn’t believe how much Simon had changed in the few months they’ve been together. He wouldn’t have been caught dead making love outside of the privacy of their rooms, he wouldn’t have initiated any games in their place of work, and he certainly wouldn’t have gone down on her in such an impetuous way. Gee, what a way to make himself irreplaceable.

It was getting hard to not shove back to gain some momentum, she wasn’t even sure if she was supposed to come, or beg for permission.

 

“Please…”

 

“Hush baby.”

 

And with a simple unexpected rotation of his wrist, he pushed his thumb inside her while grounding her with his opposite hand not letting her lift to her toes and escape the penetration. The rhythm of his touch became more insistent, opening her up and letting her own wetness trickle on his fingers, coating them enough that he managed to remove his thumb and instead reinsert his two longest fingers. Simon took his time scissoring them and finally finding the one spot sure to make her explode like a powerful firecracker on New Years eve. He knew she was close and wanted to hold her just a little longer on the edge. Leaving his questing fingers inside her, he rose to his feet and opened his fly. Going commando had its advantage… With a single shove he seated himself as far as he could go, both hands now steadying her smaller frame, holding her close to him, using the impetus to pressure her clit from the outside while driving her crazy from the inside. They were loud, uncaring of who could hear them or catch them. Their movements found the right pace, strong and fast, a steady progression towards a conflagration of pleasure, cutting them at the knees, taking any energy they might have left away with the white sparks obstructing their vision, leaving through the rivulets of sweat covering their entwined bodies, blanking their minds and yet they were still standing, embracing with all their worth, kissing deeply, foregoing the overrated need to breathe.

 

Embedded in his love, Simon finally registered that his fly was probably chaffing her soft thighs, the buttons of his dress shirt were probably marking her fair skin and yet there was something primal about taking her like this, while still being fully dressed, watching her while keeping her blind. Gosh, how he loved Kaylee, witnessing her passion for her work or their lovemaking is simply one the most amazing thing he’d ever seen and memories he will always keep close to his heart.

 

With a final grunt, he managed to push them against a wall and slowly let her slide along his side, holding to him for dear life, breathless and flushed.

 

“I love you.”

 

“I love you more.”

 

 

 

 

The End.

Wishful Thinking, by Pat
PG-13, Post Serenity movie


Whedonverse and Beyond challenge called FIREFLY GOES COUNTRY, found here: http://www.whedonverseandbeyond.net/forum/showthread.php?p=83709#post83709
Prompts: Inara, Jayne, bar, happy, drinking battle, you can’t make a heart love somebody, spanking



It is the first time. It could be the last. Not the drinks, those were flowing freely. They were on round three already, bubbles forming in their minds, clouds slowly settling and making all thoughts mellow. Jayne was drunk, not on alcohol; he needed at least a couple more of the hard liquor to get there. He was drunk on happiness. Same as the lady sharing the booth with him… Honestly, kicking Reavers asses is getting to become a habit, and a seriously exhilarating one at that.

Mal and Kaylee are out and about buying the parts they need to fix his baby. She did pull her weight and the battle was largely won on the skills of Zoe and the versatility and resilience of Serenity. More than respect, it’s reverence that the crew needs to show to that ship because she makes one hell of a last line of defense.

“To Serenity!” Jayne bellows.

“To Serenity” chuckles Inara.

She doesn’t know for Jayne but she is already getting a little tipsy. Happy though. They’ve traveled with fear for so long that seeing the light at the end of the tunnel is just overwhelming. Winning again felt good, it was giving everyone a slight hope that those badass Browncoats had survived for a purpose; there was a chance to real happiness out there for them.

Inara sputtered a bit, trying to choke down that last glass proved hazardous to her health. Still, she smiled, the burn was invigorating, there simply was no way to cap the joy inside her. Things had been better with Mal. Zoe had found the courage to continue without Wash, the gaping hole he left in their lives replaced by happy memories and discussions about the good times, the pranks, the memorable fights. Today, each of them was at a different place in their lives, more trusting of each other, more open in their friendship, better trained at defending themselves, smarter in their scheming.

The bar started to fill up; more drifters mingling with the tired locals, desperation dripping from the orders yelled at the bartender. Jayne and Inara looked way too cheerful, the newcomers were eager to reach that stage too. Business will be rocking tonight.

“One more, Nara?”

“I told you, I’d keep up with you big boy, fill it up!” she ordered the big man. Not that she wasn’t used to having her way with the manly men she hangs out with, between her training and her adventures with the guys, the question was could she out drink the biggest and baddest of them all? Probably not. But she will give it her best, that’s a certainty.

She tipped the glass on the side, tried to right it up, decided to bring it up to her mouth, ended lowering her face to the table to sip the sloshing liquid, not bothering with a toast anymore.
Jayne was laughing, getting drunk was definitely on his list of enjoyable activities, perverting the lovely Inara to his beloved past-time was just an added bonus worth remembering. If only he could be sure to remember this…

He knew in his heart of hearts that he will. After all, for years he’d hoped to spend some time with the girl his Captain had set his eyes on. She was pretty, she was kind, and she was quiet. The quietness was what really made him notice her. He could have pretty girls, once in a blue moon he could afford a companion, but he probably never could have a person that understands him and can provide the peace he needs between outbursts. He wouldn’t want to play kinky games like some of the men she meets in her line of work. This is not about spanking or silk cuffs… it is about finding a safe harbor. Sadly, this port has already been spoken for.

And… he remembers the old song his mom used to sing “you can’t make a heart love somebody”, yes, he surely can’t… but he will build memories and commit to his mind this moment as probably one of the happiest in his life.

“Are you sure you want to experience round five, sweetie?”

“Jayne, I’ll kick your ass, if you even start with the condescending tone.” She was giggling and he was cherishing every minute of it. An evening he will never mistake for the bar drawls Mal and Zoe attracts, an evening made for simple pleasures and dreams, an evening worth writing about to Mama.



The end.

Verse(s): FIREFLY
Rating: NC-17

Title: A LITTLE BIT OF … by PAT


I’ve been seduced before, and I have dome my share of seducing but what Nara is doing to me goes so much beyond. Every time she graces us of her presence, the bridge is a brighter place and my pants a tighter one… It’s corny and yet it doesn’t fail.

It’s not like she struts her stuff as the old saying was going but there is a subtle line to her neck that begs to be exposed. The slight movements of her skirt uncovering the most beautiful ankles I ever saw, and I wasn’t even a leg man! The whisper of her voice is sending the most erotic image of deep throating to my perverse mind, and her luminous eyes looks at me in such a mysterious way, I keep believing that she visualizes herself in a lively exploration of the whole Kama Sutra with me. That one never gets old… at least in my dreams.

The point is that Inara is just so much better than I am at seducing. It’s not that it is work for me but it is not the sum of who I am. She breathes seduction, and because of it, she got not just my heart, not just my soul, not even just my love, she has my total devotion.

A Night Out (Firefly/Serenity verse)
Rating: PG-13, River POV
by Pat (June 0
8)

Inspired by the Hans Chrstian Andersen (from Danemark) story called The Little Match Girl or the alternate title of The Little Match Seller published during the cold winter of 1845.



A NIGHT OUT, by PAT



It’s cold,‭ ‬so cold‭; ‬so lonely and cold on this forsaken corner.‭ ‬I have been here for two hours already and nothing new happened.‭ ‬People do not look at me.‭ ‬I do not know if it is because they cannot see me or if it is because they do not care about anybody else not involved in the ever smaller sphere that revolves around their lives.‭ ‬Their pitiful lives.

None will know about the wonders I have seen,‭ ‬the forces we have‭ ‬vanquished,‭ ‬the evil that destroyed us.‭ ‬Lifetimes of explorations,‭ ‬all forms of escapades,‭ ‬some crazy,‭ ‬some inconsequential,‭ ‬some chattering,‭ ‬all of them linking me to the most exceptional individuals one can be associated with.‭ ‬My anchor had always been Simon.‭ ‬More than my brother he was my sanity.‭ ‬Since‭ ‬I could remember he always protected me,‭ ‬cherished me,‭ ‬encouraged me.‭ ‬And now, he is gone,‭ ‬the world took its cue and started the beating. Am I anything more than a shell tonight?

I have had nothing for so‭ ‬long, I cannot remember the feeling of warmth,‭ ‬of strength,‭ ‬of safety.‭ ‬Tonight,‭ ‬everything is festive,‭ ‬and nothing holds me to this place,‭ ‬to this humanity.‭ ‬I am going to light one of those small matches.‭ ‬They are soggy,‭ ‬from being in my pocket,‭ ‬from the humidity this morning,‭ ‬from the snow tonight.‭ ‬I took them from Simon‭ ‬room eons ago and he forbid me to play with fire,‭ ‬so I just kept them,‭ ‬warm,‭ ‬in my pocket.‭ Matches are rare nowadays, no one needs them, maybe it is why I was fascinated by this little box. They are mine now, ours.

The shadows elongate with the strong flame that appears,‭ ‬it’s not really warming me but how pretty it is‭! ‬Like a bright star in the darkened sky.‭ ‬Too soon,‭ ‬the flicker is gone and alone I am again.‭ ‬I want more of it,‭ ‬but Simon said not to play with fire‭… ‬My fingers freeze,‭ ‬my mind gets muddy so I start another match,‭ ‬the picture is even prettier,‭ ‬the flame is higher,‭ ‬the needles in my hands tingle but the smart pain is good and makes me feel alive again.‭

Was that a falling star I saw‭? ‬Captain told me once that those are so rare we should make a wish when we see one.‭ ‬What a good man,‭ ‬Captain Mal‭! ‬I will make a wish now,‭ ‬to the star falling in the sky,‭ ‬to the flame shimmering in my hands,‭ ‬I want to see my brother,‭ ‬again.‭ the darkness wins one more time, erasing the good memories awakening at the edge of my battered mind.

Miracles happens,‭ I am left aghast. Yes, ‬I kid not you, it feels as with the new light shinning between my hands, I want to see my brother, again. Miracles happen, and I promise you, Simon's beautiful face was looking back at me. He wasn’t even the serious Simon everyone knew,‭ ‬it was the engaging big brother that used to play with me behind closed doors.‭ ‬I laughed‭! ‬Like I forgot I could, just happy for the trick and the innate joy spreading through me.

The illumination disappeared again and I couldn’t rush enough to light the next match.‭ ‬And he was here again.‭ ‬I swear‭! ‬With a glitter in his eyes,‭ ‬the crooked smiled was inviting me already to join him.‭ ‬My laugh was cut short by a sob when I realized my brother wasn’t here anymore.‭ “‬Simon,‭ ‬please stay with me‭” ‬I thought from the depth of my soul and yet his face vanished one more time.

I can’t take it,‭ ‬all my matches are ready to be lit and for precious moments I forget about‭ ‬everything,‭ ‬the Serenity ship,‭ ‬the fights,‭ ‬the choices to make and those made. With a smile on my freezing face, I embrace the mirage,‭ ‬and start talking to Simon,‭ ‬reaching out for him,and ‭ ‬finding happiness one more time,‭ ‬oblivious to the mechanical and self-absorbed crowd,‭ ‬finally in tune with the important aspects of my life.

The next morning,‭ ‬the city cleaning crew number twelve reached a corner.

‭“‬What you got,‭ ‬man‭?” ‬the guy in orange overall yells from the truck.

‭“‬A dead one,‭ ‬bro.‭ ‬And pretty at that.‭ ‬What a sad world we live in!‭” ‬dejected,‭ ‬he crouch in front of the happiest dead body he’d ever disposed of.‭ ‬The smile frozen for eternity,‭ ‬the long hair shiny from the humidity,‭ ‬the dark eyes glossy but wide open as to marvel to something she can only see.‭

‭“‬I
wonder what her name was‭” ‬he whispers,‭ ‬and with a mighty push of his legs he transfers the weight of the young girl and tosses her on top of the human pile.‭ ‬Morning cleaning up is a killer in this town,‭ ‬now his crew is ready to head to the river and throw the garbage out.‭

The End‭ (817 ‬words‭)




~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As a little commentary, I would like to thank Wereleopard to have come up with the idea for this contest. Thie particular story, because I don't call that a fairytale, has always been one of my most touching memory of story-telling time when I was a kid and it was interesting for me to rediscover it as an adult.
I've imagined about half of the members of the verse in this position and River came up as the most likely choice to generate a parrallel, it gave me a new vision of her character and actually a different appreciation as well.
Thanks to Tanya for her suggestions and to Sarah for findings the tidbits on the story I needed; girls, it is really appreciated!



~*~
