Some thoughts on "The Crush"

Friday, September 18, 2009 2:31 AM

I actually wrote this fic in response to a request on "Serenity Santa" last year on Live Journal and to see if I could write anything beyond young Mal. The requestor was heavily in to Mal/River and I had no idea if I could write it without going into NC-17 territory.

I've never written NC-17before and really didn't want to do it with Mal/River.(I'm attempting an NC-17 fic in another fandom by doing a POV fic of one part of a canon couple. It's a scene that's both very tender and erotic. It's very difficult to get beyond the who put what where and focus on the emotions.)

I'd always wondered how uncomfortable River could make Mal if she developed a crush on him. Of course, Mal's going to think about acting on his thoughts,and be very uneasy with the feelings River brings out. But of course, he won't act on them with River.
