More Drabbles

In response to this meme.
Obedient Faith
Faith reads the orders she has just downloaded, and frowns.
The passwords are all in order—she’s triple-checked—and there's a joke in the salutation which definitively identifies the orders as having been written by Dawn. Still, Faith can tell there’s more going on than the orders suggest, and she doesn’t like being left out of the loop.
Oh well, Faith thinks, and reaches for her battle axe. Hers is not to reason why; hers is to do or—well, she certainly plans on doing, today.
But why does Dawn insist she wear a skirt when she does the job?

Well-Shagged Kaylee
Kaylee’s been looking vibrant lately, and Mal knows that Simon has to be asking himself why Kaylee’s had such a spring in her step ever since he and she broke up, why she’s always whistling, why her smile’s so wide. River doesn’t say anything, only smiles when he and Kaylee are together, and so Mal knows she knows. Jayne’s completely clueless as always and there’s not getting anything past Zoe.
It’s not that they’re keeping it a secret, exactly. It’s just that it is nobody’s gorram business what he and his mechanic do in the engine room of his ship.

There's plenty of unclaimed ficlets left in that meme. I'll repeat the list here:

Thanks!

Date: 2006-05-09 06:51 pm (UTC)Of course you can request a ficlet. I don't promise they'll all be drabbles though; Dawn swimming in the nude with Faith and/or Kennedy strikes me as the very sort of thing I might like to take a few hundred words to develop.

Date: 2006-05-11 10:59 pm (UTC)Can I please request 5. On-vacation girl - Willow? I need a vacation (I too am on the thesis trail and it's kicking my ass).
How many can we request?
All the best and good luck with your academic endeavor (as well as the 30-fics thing).

And thanks for the feedback!

Looking forward to the results.
All the best.
