Crossing Barriers by Jae Kayelle (R)
Fandom:FIREFLY
Pairing:Mal/Zoe
Author on LJ: JaeKayelle
Author Website:InfiniteDiversity
Why this must be read:There has been speculation since the show started about the relationship between Mal and Zoe. Did they have a romantic past? How close were they? "War Stories," and other episodes touch on some of their shared past but not nearly enough.
While this story doesn't deal with Mal and Zoe's past but their present, the characterizations are point on and the Zoe voice is at once sweet and coated in steel. Held prisoner and everyone else thought to be dead, they become closer, feelings turning from friendship into something more. Then real life intrudes.
I called him Mal instead of "sir" because sharing a five by five cell with no privacy tended to fray at preconceptions and eliminate modesty. The narrow cot didn't leave much room literally or emotionally, either. At first we took turns sleeping on it, but after a while we extended our personal comfort zones and slept on it together. Many days I woke up to find his erection poking me in the buttocks while he slept on, his arms wrapped around me and his chin resting on my shoulder, and his breath warm on my neck. I don't know when I began enjoying these sensations. One morning I simply lay there letting his body heat seep into my aching bones and thought that it felt good. I especially liked his arousal pressing against me. It made me feel like I was still alive. It was nothing momentous, just a plain, simple truth. The "sirs" and "Captains" still slipped out now and then but not so much anymore.
Oh and the author was lovely enough to write a sequel. I love sequels.
