Title: In the Rain

Rating: NC-17

Synopsis: It’s raining and guess who wants to go play in it?

Pairing: Simon/Kaylee

Timeframe: Takes place six months after the movie, Serenity.

Author’s Notes: Tessa (FrellingBlonde on fireflyfans. net) and I decided to take a common theme (sex in the rain) and write a story. It wasn’t a contest and shouldn’t be viewed as such. It simply came about by us chatting in IM’s about taking a common theme and seeing how different our stories came out.

This is my version.

Thanks to Jules for the beta.

It had become increasingly difficult to find time alone on Serenity. Someone was always needing something, or interrupting their private time just for fun. Jobs had been plentiful for a change and they’d been busier than they ever thought they’d be. And for the first time in months, the Captain had agreed to let his crew have a few days off.

No one cared that Simon
