Firefly Drabble: Cotton Candy

Title: Cotton Candy
Author: alianora

Jayne goes to the fair..*cough*

Drabble. Blame literarylemming



They had stopped on some backwater somewheres where there was a fair going on. Everybody had the night off to play, including the whores.

He was a might sulky bout that. He hadnt had any trim for nearly two months and was getting a bit uncomfortable being around the womenfolk on the crew.

You dont sleep with your crew. Ever. Might cause trouble someday when you need a trustworthy body at your back with a gun.

'Sides, it wasnt like there were alot of options.

Zoe was way beyond taken, not that Wash was a threat or nothing, but Zoe WAS, and he werent about to get himself booted out the airlock for even as nice a piece as she was.

Kaylee was his little sister. And she had her own opinions about how to treat a woman. He didnt fancy having to hang around and listen to her prattle after rutting. Regardless of how cute the prattle could be.

Inara was untouchable. He couldnt come anywhere near her prices. 'Sides, he might muss her pretty stuff, or break something in that little shuttle.

That left the crazy girl, which werent saying much.

Or, at least, it werent before he ended up prying her off the top of the Jacob's Ladder after the doc and Kaylee went to ride the ferris wheel. Ended up with a sticky armful of girl and cotton candy smeared down across his neck.

She giggled and wrapped sugary fingers round his collar, pulling her face a little closer to his. He werent paying too much attention to what she was saying, as he was looking hopefully around for the preacher, who was supposed to be watching her tonight.

He very nearly walked into one of them game booths when a kitten soft tongue traced over the sugar on his neck.

Little girl voice breathed into his ear. "Sweeter than the others. Just hide it better."

Greatest ending ever! :-) I absolutely adored this and now I think I have to friend you because I can't not friend someone who is this good at writing Rayne! ;-)

[aliaspiral.livejournal.com]

Just call me a fic following lemming...friending you IMMEDIATELY so that I can also stalk you for your fics.

Oh, and this was DE-LIC-iously wonderful. So much so that I am now thinking I should have attacked Adam at the BDM Premiere instead of trying soooooo hard to be a good girl. *still in awe that he touched me...TWICE!*

Request: Would you do a Hamilton/Harmony ficlet? I promise to squeee massively and inappropriately over it and pimp it EVERYWHERE...if you do.*puppy dog eyes*

[aliaspiral.livejournal.com]

lol! friend away!

Hamilton/Harmony? i need to contemplate..i dont have my last season of Angel with me, and i need some Hamilton reminders. besides the fact he is big and pretty...let me see what i can do?

aw, that's so gorgeous...

This is great--I love Jayne's rationalizations for crossing all the Serenity women off his list, and I love how River surprises him.

"Sweeter than the others. Just hide it better."

So River.

And I have to ask...where did you get the picture that's in your header? It looks like it might have come from the same photoshoot as the sprawled take-me-now-on-this-couch Dom picture, with the drink and the jeans and the sultry stare...see? I'm reduced to incoherence already. But I've never seen this pic before.

[aliaspiral.livejournal.com]

hee! thanks! i like it when River surprises Jayne. he deserves it.

and yes, the Dom header is a part of the omghot photoshoot..i have the pic on my laptop at home, so i can email it to you if you want it?

of course, i enhanced a couple of things, so if you want the header, please take it with credit.

[hermionesviolin.livejournal.com]

"Sweeter than the others. Just hide it better."

Love that line. ('Cause I love Jayne for his softness beneath the surface.)

Would quibble with calling the fic a "drabble," though, as "drabble" specifically means 100 words; "ficlet" is the word that springs to mind for this, though there are probably other terms floating out there for short fics.

[aliaspiral.livejournal.com]

how about, it started life out as a drabble?

lol, my definitions of drabbles and ficlets tend to be a little loose..sorry!

thanks for reading!

Mmmmm...lucky tongue...
