Fic: BtVS (Spike/Jesse, NC-17) - Impressions

For ms_bear for the Night They Never Met Ficathon. I have officialy sworn off ficathons. Just when I think that there can't possibly be a pairing that surprises and confounds me (I opted out of all the pairings I didn't think I could write when I signed up) somebody comes up with something impossible. What did I get, you ask? Spike/Jessie. Of all the people who never met. Dude.

I think my brain is broken.

This hasn't been beta'd and it won't get posted anywhere else besides here, this one time. Please withold the mockery and laughter. I offer extreme apologies to ms_bear. Impressions is the third attempt. Dude.

Firefly Drabble for ff_friday - Broken

My first attempt at Firefly. x-posted at ff_friday.

Summary: River on eggshells. Sometimes, it's the little things.
A/N: Challenge #87 - Water. River and Simon. 126 words.


Broken


"Don't cry," Simon says and shushs. Whisper sounds from his lips trailing static over the drip, drip, drip of water from a broken pipe.

"Information leaks, tears leak. Girls leak tears made up of water, salt and hormones. Emotional tears." River stretches away from Simon's encompassing, restraining arms and snaps her teeth at his carefully concerned face.

“Escape through an opening created by fault or mistake. I leak,” she whimpers. “Condensation. I am a girl in a box."

Simon sighs a gentle puff of defeat against River's hair. "River, please. I don't understand."

"Water cycles. There’s a leak, Simon. My hair is wet." She pushes against his arms, head and heals pressing, her aching body arching against him. "Serenity hurts, Simon. She hurts and cries tears."
