Why this must be read:

River finds solace in Simon's dreams, until one night, she doesn't. Lyrical and sad and creepy, the way Simon/River should be. My heart breaks for both of them here--for River, who didn't know and can't unknow now, and for Simon, who's known for a while, and wishes he didn't.

Then comes the evening when everyone is ill from Jayne's casserole and the crew's nightmares are too loud for River to sleep. She goes to Simon's dreams because she knows the bad parts of those already; Mal's dreams of war and loss are too fresh, strange, and invasive to bear.
