Blue Sun Room FICTION - GENERAL

Two Quarters and a Heart Down

Sunday, April 9, 2006

This is a small fic I wrote for a fan fic comm on LJ, but I got booted before I even started because it took me so long to start. Anyway, It's Mal's thoughts on Inara as they dance in 'Shindig'(my favorie episode). Inspired by 'Dance, Dance' by Fall Out Boy.

CATEGORY: FICTION    TIMES READ: 2458    RATING: 9.0 (G)    SERIES: FIREFLY

1, 2, 3...1, 2, 3...

This dance...I don’t know how Inara puts up with it. Not just the gorram dance we’re trying to attempt, but this dance she does in front of these people. How she pretends to be in love with Atherton or anyone of her customers for that matter.

But Atherton...he treats her like some sort of trophy.

1, 2, 3... 1, 2, 3...

To these men, she’s nothing but a prize. If she’s on their arm, they’re the richest ones. She’s nothing but extra money spent on a pretty doll. They don’t see the soul. The woman she is. The things that make her truly beautiful. Everything behind the dance and the mask.

1, 2, 3...Oof!

I really hate dancing anyway.

Dance, Dance

We're falling apart to half time

Dance, Dance

And these are the lives you'd love to lead...

I never thought about how "Dance, Dance" really matches that episode. Amazing job!

Haven't really listened to that song by Fall Out Boy, but it does work strangely;)
