Title: In the Wrong Hands

Rating: PG
Summery: No one asks a knife if it would rather be a flower





She is made to be a weapon and her lines are smooth and strong.

She is steel and sinew and bone and can take out a number of men without any significant damage to herself.

She is made to be a weapon, and she is good at what she does.

When the captain fires her, sends her spinning, he does it because she is a weapon, and he can use her to save other lives.

When Jayne turns her off, hand on the back of her neck as he grunts out words in a language he doesn’t speak, he does it because he doesn’t trust any weapon without a safety.

When she cries, after, clutching at his arms, she does it because she doesn’t know how to stop.

She is a hair trigger gun with silver bullets inside, and no one asks a knife if it would like to be a flower.

She is made to be a weapon, and her fingers are twitching.

Bang.

I enjoyed them. They're kinda crack books, because people tend to bounce from partner to partner, and the world is decently cool if insanely small. She's only written the first three. The fourth is due out eventually. I'd definitely say they're worth reading, especially since the characters all grow on you.

And yes, the gay threesome.
