[EM] 44. Lyrics: Beautiful Disaster - Jon McLaughlin
Inara Serra had learned young that a body couldn't depend on anyone but their own selves, and she'd learned the lesson the hard way. Eventually everyone leaves you. Eventually, everyone hurts you. Eventually everything falls apart. From the moment that cold, harsh realization had settled into her brain, she'd given up on all hopes of ever having a ( Read more... ) -
[EM] RP prompt #32 - "Of course I'm right."
Finally nearing the engine room, he heard noise from within...good. Maybe Bester was actually fixing something.
"Bester, you were supposed to have that engine fixed and us up and..." He trailed off as he stopped dead in the doorway at the sight of Bester...with his pants around his ankles and a woman doing all manner of...

OOC note
Starting now, most of the entires in this journal will take place in an AU version of Firefly: Inara and Kaylee's roles have been switched. Kaylee is a bright, bubbly Companion and Inara is the wise, travel-weary engineer. Elite Muses's Mal, bigdamn_hero, and myself will be posting challenge replies in accordance with such.
That's all. Thanks for ( Read more... ) -
[EM] topic #31: Is there any place you would rather be right now?
Ask me on some days, and I would tell you yes, most definitely yes. Too often it seems this ship is about to fall apart underneath us, or someone's trying to hunt us down and kill us, or a job goes horribly awry, or the Alliance is chasing us. Too many days, it's all of those things at once. On those days, I wonder why, *why* in the world did I not ( Read more... ) -
fandom_muses, topic #51: Holiday Shopping
Inara did not, typically, celebrate Yule.
Mainly because she viewed this time of year as one of two things. The first being a pagan Sabbat; the second being a Christian holiday. As Inara was neither a pagan or a Christian, she saw little reason to participate in said festivities.
But there was Kaylee-irrepressible, ineffable Kaylee. So desperate to ( Read more... ) -
fandom_muses, topic #46: Marriage
Once I would've told you marriage was meaningless. I've seen too many married men and women seeking out the services of a Companion. Not my services, mind you. I might not have placed much faith in the sanctity of marriage, but it's a line I'm simply not willing to cross.
I truly did not have a very favorable opinion of marriage, until I met Hoban ( Read more... ) -
elite_muses, topic #21 - What you need right now
Clarity. More than anything else, I need clarity.
I am...in a desperate state of confusion and indecision. I've come to the crossing I've been dreading, much earlier than I intended to arrive. You see, I have done the one thing that a Companion should avoid.
I've let myself fall in love. Not with a client; I'm too...professional, for that.
I fell in ( Read more... ) -
elite_rp, October prompt: It was the oddest dream...(open to logan_maxwell)
Inara Serra was dreaming. She did not, of course, realize she was dreaming. Dreamers rarely do, and in truth, Inara prefers not to think too hard on the images her unconscious mind conjures up; once the realization creeps in, 'this is a dream', then the dream becames stale and sleep is less satisfying.
Inara's job affords her little sleep as it is, ( Read more... ) -
fandom_muses, topic #42: Best Friend
Inara laughed softly as Kaylee twirled around the shuttle, wearing one of Inara's slightly less fancy skirts. "Oh, 'Nara, you can't let me have this!" Kaylee exclaimed, stopping in front of a mirror and, after checking her hands once more for grease smudges, carefully smoothing the delicate red material about her thighs. "This hada have cost ya ( Read more... ) -
elite_muses, topic 17: Are you impuslive?
A Companion can't afford to be impulsive.
Discipline. Self-control. Those are the first lessons a Companion learns. They are the first things mastered, long before the art of physical pleasure is even mentioned. A Companion who cannot control her emotions, who is not master of the most basic impulses of her body cannot truly call herself a Companion ( Read more... )
