The four ideals of the Guild
<br>
Belongs to somebody not me. Blah blah blah, yackety schmackety.
</br>
Please to give feedback. Good. Bad. Whatever.
<br>
AN: I wanted to play with the four bohemian ideals mentioned in the movie Moulin Rouge. Plus, it gives me an excuse to have El Tango de Roxanne as the music - which utterly suits for Mal and Inara. I'm playing with structure here, so bear with me.

CATEGORY: FICTION    TIMES READ: 2034    RATING: 9.0 (G)    SERIES: FIREFLY

Truth.

A Companion must always speak her truth. She must never be ashamed of who she is.

Beauty.

A Companion must not just be beautiful. She must be Beauty Incarnate.

Freedom.

A Companion must have the freedom to choose. She must never belong to another.

Love.

A Companion must only exist for others to love. She herself must never fall in love.

*****

Truth.

She did not want to be who she had been. She wanted to be more.

Beauty.

She did not want to be Beauty Incarnate. She wanted to be real.

Freedom.

She did not want to choose another. She wanted to be his.

Love.

She did not want to merely exist. She wanted to love.

I loved Inara's reinterpretation of the Guild's maxims. Now, if she can just be brave enough to put them all in practice! Loved this, Ali D :~)

Aww! Very nice. You should expand on these themes in a longer fic. Well done!

I agree with EmpireX, I'd love to see this made into a longer fic! :) Well done, as always!

Interesting look at the duality present in all things, and finding that happy shade of gray between black and white.
