Love Affair by Mimi (NC-17)
Hey there, sorry to be kicking things off a little later than I'd hoped. This is Lyr, whom you may remember as a frequent driver of the Jossverse vans up until a year or so back. For those who do not, let me recap: I read across the gen, slash, femslash, and het spectrum, and I like to include a little of each in my recs so that there's something for everyone. I'll be driving for Firefly this month, and I'd like to kick things off with a little femslash. All aboard!

Why this must be read: I think character is the strongest point of this story. I like the waylittle_missmimi shows Zoe in the aftermath of losing Wash. The sense of frustrated loss and loneliness is rooted in little physical details that convey Zoe's roil of painfully confused emotion well. By contrast, Inara is portrayed with such soothing, serene imagery and detail that it seems beautifully natural when Zoe finds her comfort there. Other strengths include a good 'verse voice, and a very real, human sense of awkwardness in Zoe. Some things should not be too easy, and we would not believe them if they were.
She hadn’t been lonely, but that time comes, and she don’t want a hunk of plastic run on batteries. She wants warmth, and laughter, and someone else’s hands on her skin. Kisses, comfort--they don’t do things like that at the places she could afford. Zoe ends up wound tighter than before she got together with Wash. A bundle of nerves and twitchy energy; she’s a loaded gun set to fire at any moment.
