I've read a really cute River/Kaylee fic. I didn't totally buy it, but it was pretty good. Mostly, though, I don't buy them. I read a Simon/Jayne one that really made my brain hurt. Not only is it Jayne, but c'mon, he hates Simon.
Yeah, can't see those most of the time. But some people have amazing talent when it comes to working that kind of thing.

I can't argue with that, there are quite a few wonderful authors out there who seem to make a lot of relationships (almost) work using the right kind of imagination. I don't want to step on anyone's toes who does put time into their work and writes it well. But like you said, it's just a difficult thing to believe. Simon/Jayne? Scary to say the least.

Any thing River/Kaylee/Inara, or any variation of those, I thought about adding Zoe in the mix but, since she married Wash it just seems like cheating!

I have't really read any fic featuring them, but I could see Zoe and Jayne as a couple... for a while, anyway.

Lately, I've had a strang urge to read fics where River, Kaylee, and/or Inara hook-up (in any variations). Knowing Joss, it wouldn't be all too surprising if one of these pairing did happen somewhere along the line, and it would have been find with me.

Am I allowed to have an opinion on this? 'Cos I write my own favourite

Seriously - don't see Rayne. Age and background on both sides. Jayne likes feisty, carnal sort of women (see shooting script notes Jaynestown) He don't go chasin' children, ain't a freak. I can see River falling for a handsome rogue with a tragic war-hero past, though...And I wouldn't say that was non-canon either. Last scene of the BDM, there's something brewing there. So I'm with PR on that one... Jaylee, likewise, no. Kaylee probably grew up round men like Jayne; they aren't a new experience, and those two people were on the boat together for near eighteen months before the Doctor came on board. He might have a little crush on her, but I can't see her noticing him that way. It's Simon's class and looks and charm she likes (daft cow, but hey... )

Zoe and Jayne - it was Wash's fun side she was drawn to (and he must have been an animal in the sack, ladies ) I don't see her as opening up to anyone else for a long time. And Jayne is far too different. I think he has a sweet side, and he's not afraid of strong women, but I can't see those two as a couple.

Not going near the slash. A bickering enmity that is so old it becomes a kind of friendship, yes. Jayne has a brother - Simon isn't used to that kind of relationship, he's only got li'l crazyboots. And I think Mal was an only child; he's used to commanding men, rather than having too many friends. Those three together have a dynamic part Marx brothers, part Lethal Weapon. But I think there is a certain element of 'he might be an idiot, but he's our idiot' on all sides.

The femslash - don't get it, I'm afraid. I would like to like Inara, but...alien.

Mal/River

Then possibly Rayne

Almost anything involving Inara.

Inara/Kaylee
Inara/Simon
Inara/River
Inara/Saffron
Inara/Nandi
Inara/Jayne

Any of those and more. I love how it explores different angles of her character, not to mention Inara/Kaylee is just about the most harmoniously sexy thing I can imagine.

Not involving Inara, it would probably be...

Any kind of girlslash.

Simon/River, while kinky, has some really fascinating possibilities, as does Zoe/Jayne.

Kaylee/Jayne leaves me as untouched as Simon/Kaylee. Same with boy slash.

Most Mal/not-Inara I find very hard to believe, especially Mal/River or Mal/Kaylee. Those turn my stomach.

But... Simon and River doesn't turn your stomach? That kinda turned my stomach...

I think that, long-term, a Mal/Inara relationship wouldn't work, which is why I can easily see him with River, or possibly Kaylee.

Seems strange, doesn't it? *g*

With Simon and River it's purely a thing based on their closer-than-normal sibling relationship. And I'm definitely not saying it would be a healthy happy thing. It's just an interesting angle.

Biological incest (while most definitely not a kink of mine!) freaks me out less than the status/age/experience differences I see with Mal/Kaylee and Mal/River.

If you will, Mal/Kaylee and Mal/River reminds me of daddy/daughter incest, which is far more icky than brother/sister incest because the latter involves two people of more of less equal status.

Turns mine.

The M/R crept up on me while I was watching. I think any normal female would have a crush on Mal (I mean, he is So.Very.Pretty. That smile, those eyes, and that butt...) Plus there is the wounded war-hero thing.

Mal likes graceful dancer-types. And I don't think he's a man to share. I can see him being mighty protective of his li'l pilot, and still thinking it's merely a Captain-y thing.
