Ornithoptera euphorion by mclachlan (PG-13)

Why this must be read:
If I was to think of one word to summarize Simon in this fic, it would be "awkward". Actually, painfully awkward. Simon is awkward and wants to deny it after he realizes that he has feelings for the Captain. I love that it just doesn't smoothly fall into place. It also has a confident, semi-stalkery Mal. River is picking up on Simon's broadcasting, or messing around in his head, either way... funny, leading to more awkwardness for Simon.
And another reason to read this fic? Jayne disemboweling kiwi fruit.

Simon is cleaning his favorite scalpel -- the very first scalpel he truly felt he'd earned, given to him by Neman Rowles, the man who taught him the second day of his internship to perform an anterior temporal lobectomy on a patient suffering from severe epilepsy -- when he thinks 'I'm in love with the Captain'.
He pauses, swallows hard, takes the thought and places it in the vault he keeps in the back of his mind. The 'Things I Will Never, Ever Think About Again' vault. He then imagines locking it with a 10-digit combination that he will never remember, binding it with chains, and sealing it behind a wall. Plaster, cement, concrete, insulation, wood, brick…
