This is a standalone set preseries (no Simon, sorry, Leiasky). I have no idea what kind of introduction to slap on this thing, so I'll just say, enjoy! Special thanks to Ann for curtailing the worst of my rambles. NC-17. Comments are love!

“Here she is,” Mal said. “The heart of her.”
He watched the young woman with her pink dress, her lopsided hair twisties, gage his girl. She scrunched her nose and squinted thoughtful-like at the big mass of metal and spinny bits, most of which made about as much sense to him as he figured war and dying did to her. She didn't look like the type could step on a spacebug. Still, he'd seen for himself what she could do with an engine. The part where his was turning again was on the shiny side.
“So. What do you think?”
“Looks like she's got a big one.” Her grin must have been catching, like plague, 'cause he found himself smiling back.
“Big and shiny,” he agreed. “Warm now, too. Meant to thank you for that, Miss.”
“Oh, Gosh. I’m Kaywinnet, but most everybody calls me Kaylee. Well, everybody but my daddy. Not that your remind me of my daddy!” She laughed, a joyful, hearty sound. “Oh, Hell, no!”
“Kaylee it is,” Mal said. She was the cheersome sort—might be nice having someone cheerful on board for a change. “Kaylee, Serenity.”
“We already met, Cap'n. Remember when I was on my back under the...?”
“I remember,” he said quickly. He thought, if he were her daddy, he'd be sure to have a long chat with her about men like Bester. But then, she didn't exactly seem the naïve sort when she was pressed up against his wall and making noises. He made a mental note not to think on that anymore. She was a little too pretty with all the soft hair, and the bubbly. If she were a few years older, or him younger and...someone not him…
The woman—Kaylee—bobbed her head once, and flashed him a rueful smile.
“Well, I'll leave you two to get acquainted. Reckon you'll make fast friends.”
“Machines and me always do,” s
I'm not sure about the threesome, but I was willing to suspend whatever disbelief there might have been *GRIN*
It's got it's own sadness to it, though, as these people alwasy seem to have...
But nicely written, as usual! Interesting scenarios, and a fun read!
Thanks!
I've read many Kaylee/Inara fics, where Inara is suddenly this frightened child when it comes to woman/woman sex, which just doesn't work for me. I mean, she takes female clients!
Anyway, yeah, thanks for that!
Everyone was so perfectly in character -even though I can't see Inara, Kaylee, and certainly not Mal, doing something like that- you made it believable.
I'd love to get a little Mal/Inara sequel to see how they would handle the aftermath of this.
Kaynara, you're a fic goddess. We bow before you!
Wash liked to tease her, and take guesses at what deep, dark secret had her leaving home. “You’re a trained assassin woman…no wait, an ice dancer!”
~ Great Wash line here, he always makes the mood lighter
The whole conversation with Mal and Kaylee about being a smuggling ship and the decisions involving Bester was great.
“Saw him comin' outta your bunk the other night,” she said quietly.
"Rut each other sometimes. Don't make us lovers."
~ A very interesting (and completely realistic, IMHO) scenario
“Well, Kaylee, sometimes when two people really enjoy each other’s company, and one of those two looks like an Amazonian sex goddess and the other has all the restraint of a Labrador in a stick-catching contest—a Labrador that's horny—”
~ You write Wash so very very well :)
I personally wouldn’t miss the chance to handle her doohickeys.
~ BWAHAHAHAHA !!!!!
“I may be three kinds of sumbitch,” she heard Jayne mutter, “but least I ain’t ever made her cry.”
~ Very good point from Jayne
I like Kaylee's thoughts on Mal and Zoe's relationship
“Mmn, I don't think he’s interrupting. I think the cap'n needs to be here same as us.”
~ I also like Kaylee's line of thinking here :)
The sex scenes with the three of them were, well, GUH.
I really like your writing, and if memory serves me correctly this is one of if not the first of your works that I have read, though you have been recommended to me by Leiasky. I look forward to perusing the rest of your works when time permits me to. :)
I don't know how you did it...but you made this seems so freaking plausible that I gotta wonder if you don't have an inside like to Joss himself;)
Gotta say though...for an AU tale (cuz if this happened, I would think the Mal/Inara sides of the triangle would have motored along differently), I was might fine:D
