Blue Sun Room FICTION - ROMANCE

Love... Part 4

Sunday, July 23, 2006

Troy_gal suggested the plot bunny for this over at Live Journal: She requested a Rayne story with an OC woman competing with River for Jayne. So here's Maggie. Expect lots of Angst for River, and lots of fun for Jayne. (Two women fighting for him. Must be his ultimate fantasy, don'tcha think?) (In case you're wondering, this is set in an alternative 'verse, where Wasn and Book are very much still alive and on Serenity.)

Stop in the Name of Love (before you break my heart)

“River, can you feel other people’s emotions, their desires?” Inara asked.

“Like waves, can’t escape. Have to ride out the storm.”

“River, if anything happens and you feel overwhelmed like you did today, come and find me and we can talk together like this in my shuttle, away from all the feelings of others.”

River looked up and smiled. “Xie–xie, Inara.”

“Mei-mei, it will get better, I promise. You will meet another man and fall in love again, probably many more times, until one day you will meet your perfect match. You will laugh and cry together, but mostly you will just feel right together. Comfortable. He will ask you to marry him, and he will make you very happy.”

River sighed, “She will not be able to bear it if Jayne loves Maggie. She will do anything to stop it, and make him see that she is his perfect match, not Maggie.”

That was when Inara realised they had a real problem on their hands. She was sure he hadn’t meant for it to happen, but their resident reader, their little albatross, the whole boat’s mei-mei had fallen in love with Jayne Cobb, mercenary, Mama’s boy, womaniser, and all around hard ass.

Inara found the Captain on the bridge, talking to Wash and Shepherd Book. “Mal, we have a problem.”

“What is it this time?” he sighed.

“Not about us,” she whispered. “It’s River.”

Well...at least Jayne seems to care enough not to break River's heart...cuz that would lead to a Maidenhead style moment, I suspect;)

Still...I wanna see what kind of crazy hijinks River will attempt to get Jayne back. Cuz you know she's gonna use her assassin skills to outdo Maggie in ways we can't imagine right now;)

Just throught I'd spread a little Irish culture! It's from W. B Yeats
"Aedh wishes for the Cloths of Heaven"

HAD I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

Beautiful, huh?!!
