Author’s notes: For the_girl_20, for the drabble/ficlet meme that I posted the beginning of this month. She asked for Kaylee/Inara fluff. I’m fairly certain this isn’t actually fluff, per se, but it is Kaylee/Inara, which is a feat unto itself. For some reason, I really struggle with Inara (which is why every

Thank you so much. Inara has been a constant source of both frustration and fascination for me, so I'm glad this worked for you. And I so much appreciate the feedback!

Oh gods.

Wonderful. Gorgeous. Rich. Intense.

Everything that these two ought to be together.

[tremblingmoon]

So generous, thank you!

[the_girl_20]

This is beautiful.

Inara struggles for a moment to find a way to break the silence, to tell Kaylee that she’s not allowed to be so content, that this cannot happen again because it breaks every rule she’s ever had. But the protest dies on her lips.

There is nothing she can say to Kaylee that isn’t a lie.

Absolutely beautiful.

Thank you.

I know it's not quite what you asked for...but I'm glad you'll accept this instead. :) And thank you...

Ah, my dear, dear friend. I was trying to find something adequate to say to express how infinitely lovely this is, but to be honest, words fail me. You know me, I am not prone to exaggeration, I do not compliment lightly, and I value words far too highly to ever belittle them by tossing them away like candy at a Christmas parade. So, please know I mean this. I could cut and past every line, but that seems too much. Instead, I will simply use your own words to describe what this is....

Still, it is Kaylee who moves first, reading Inara’s mind. As they kiss, gently, languidly, Inara thinks that this is beauty. Not beautiful, but Beauty itself in all its manifestations, everything she’s been taught to embody, to uphold, and more.

All the men and women with whom she’s shared pleasure, and yet the simplicity of Kaylee’s kiss is acutely overwhelmingly. And Inara is terrified.

Beauty, indeed.

You're really too good to me, you know that? And quoting my own words back as a compliment must be a grand new form of flattery. In any case, thank you so much. Your feedback means the world to me.

Do you toss candy at Christmas parades? Do you wear a Santa hat? If so, please do send pictures. *g*

[fewthistle]

LOL. You know, it's a good thing that you are so adorable, because you really are a cheeky little wench! *bg*

Yes, candy. No, Santa hat. No, pictures. Although I do own a Santa hat...only mine has a black fur trim that looks really great with my blonde hair *vbg*

[tremblingmoon]

You love that I'm cheeky. Don't even pretend.

No pictures? I'm deeply disappointed. You'll have to rectify that, methinks. Especially if your hat goes so wonderfully with your hair, as you say. *g*

AWESOME!!!

I'm a total K/I shipper ;)

[tremblingmoon]

Thanks. Me too. What's not to love about Kaylee/Inara?
