Prospect by Ana (NC-17)
Fandom: FIREFLY
Pairing: Jayne/m
Author on LJ: No
Author Website: Ana'sFiction
Why this must be read: This story is written from the second person POV of someone not a part of the Serenity crew. The observations about the crew are spot on and the observations about Jayne are, for the most part, correct. And I love that it's not all correct or maybe it could be. The point is that there is room for error on the part of this stranger. Just like in real life, a book judged by its cover can be judged wrong.
So for all you Jayne lovers out there take a look at him through the eyes of a person dealing with the boredom of being a prostitute on a dusty planet. Oh and the sex is hot too.
You're talking to the bartender when he makes his move. You don't see the big one leave their table, but you feel the not-so-subtle shift of air behind you. You turn, smiling a little.
He doesn't waste time with preliminaries. "How much?"
You look him up and down, liking what you see even more now that he's close up. He's taller than you, not that you're particularly small, and you have to tilt your head to meet his eyes. You negotiate a price and he pays you half up front. Then you help him carry the drinks he ordered back to his table.
He doesn't ask your name. You don't offer it.
Prospect
Oh and the author wrote a sequel too.
