Title: Broken Author: seraC Email: seraphcelene[at]yahoo[dot]com A/N: 100 words written for the Firefly Water Challenge. Rating: G Archiving: House of Leaves. Everyone else please ask. Summary: River on eggshells. Sometimes it's the little things. Feedback: Is like air, highly necessary. Disclaimer: Firefly and all related characters belong to Joss Whedon, Mutant Enemy, and sundry others. I’m just taking them out for a little exercise. "Don't cry," Simon whispers sound from his lips trailing static over the drip, drip, drip of water from a broken pipe. "Information leaks, tears leak. Girls leak tears made of water, salt and hormones.” 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,” she whimpers. “I leak.” Simon sighs a gentle puff of defeat against River's hair. "River, I don't understand." She pushes, head and heals pressing, her aching body arching against him. "Water cycles. There’s a leak, Simon. My hair is wet." end |
