Late to the party but it's such a good thread!

I got invested in the Mal-Inara romance in 'Serenity Part 2' when Inara says something like 'If you throw them off the boat, I'm going too' and Mal replies 'Perhaps that's for the best'. It seems kind of harsh, but if you watch his face for the couple of milliseconds before he replies, you can see that the idea of her going absolutely kills him, but then he pulls himself together and gives a tough guy response. It's a beautiful piece of screen acting.

I have 2, both of which involve Kaylee and Simon...first is in Jaynestown, where they're both drunk and talking and Simon says (ha) she's pretty-"..even when you're covered in engine grease..no; especially when you're covered in engine grease!.." It's so sweet and candid; you can tell he really means it, but it still takes a coulple mugs of that drink to make him say it. And then they end up sleeping on each other..awwwww!!!
Second is when Kaylee asks him if there's anything out here he likes..you can see her aching for him to say "yes, you.." and him aching to say it..then it looks like he's gonna say it with a kiss-BUT-the stupid shepard has to ruin it..*sigh*

Aww! I forget about that one! That's a good moment, both because it's one of those perfectly 'Firefly' moments, and it shows that Jayne has a soft spot...somewhere...

Not really 'romantic' but in the Pilot, when Kaylee is going on and on about how important doctors (Simon) are, Jayne basically adds subtitles and says what she's getting at. "Little Kaylee just wishes you was a gynecologist" and then something along the lines of "Just because Kaylee gets all lubbed up over some city boy..." I thought the look on Kaylee and Simons faces were funny.

Mine would have to be Wash & Zoe:

From Shindig:

WASH: Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

ZOE: Laughs and hits him with a pillow.

Classic!!

I don't know if this counts but it really got to me when Mal first lays his eyes on Serenity at the end of "out Of Gas". Especially when you hear at the beginning of the episode that "it will be with you till the day you die" from the sales guy...and you think he is talking about the Firefly (Serenity).... Its awesome.

I actually have a very long post I have been working on for quite a while that still needs a lot of editing, so I don't know when/if I will ever post it. But it is on my own insight into Mal and Inara.. the two characters that litterally feel like they belong to my soul..

But in that "essay" of mine.. I brought up a couple of thoughts that are along this same topic that I was wondering what other people's ideas are..

I don't see Firefly as ever being the story of Mal and Inara as "being" together.. but as the story of them "comming" together. Like if they ever come together but the story still goes on.. I don't know if it would be the same... but anyway...

Anyways, my favorite would be Inara kissing an unconcious Mal in "Our Mrs. Reynolds". Too bad that's the only real kiss that's ever happened between them.


This is the only time they ever kissed. And it really didn't count since Mal was passed out . But what is everyone's idea of how would Mal and Inara's first "true" kiss be? What would lead up to it? Why/how would it happen? And their first kiss, would it be tender and romatic? Or would it be agressive, lustful and passionate, as if to tear the ship part? I have my own funny/passionate story of their first kiss in my mind.. I would like to hear other people's ideas first.

Secondly.. I don't believe their first "true" kiss would be the point that brings them truely together.. just another event that brings them closer to it. But when Mal and Inara would eventually come together (even though it could be the last episode/movie ever ). What are your ideas for how it would happen? What would be the story/event that would finally bring them together? Again I have my own tragic/beautiful idea.. but was wondering first what other people's are..

Smaug..

Not exactly a romantic moment, but I love the contrast in OoG where we see Inara and Mal first meet then their far more relaxed but still with the arguing and banter and UST when they are prepping Inara's shuttle to leave.

I don't know if it's so much a romantic moment as an "unrequited love" sort of moment...but it's the part in "Our Mrs. Reynolds" when Mal says to Inara (and keep in mind I'm paraphrasing here): "Let's be honest...you didn't really hit your head did you?"

And Inara...so breathy and weak at the knees, dropping her eyes, replies: "No..."

I don't know why, but that's probably one of my all-time favorite Mal and Inara moments. What I would give to have been Mal at that instant! There are a lot of sexy Inara scenes in that series, but to me, she was her hottest right then and there...

Of course, I want to slap Mal silly when he grins and says: "I knew it...you kissed her too!"

Argh!
