Repair, by Molly (PG13)
Fandom: FIREFLY
Pairing: Mal/Kaylee
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author’s Website: voyeuse.net
Why this must be read:
This is a story about Kaylee, dealing with her issues post-War Stories, which avoids dipping into melodrama and extreme angst. The story touches upon Kaylee’s life, pre-Serenity, her love for the ship, and her feelings for Mal, and the feelings expressed by Kaylee feel natural to her character.

- She knows maternal instinct, and it comes naturally to her for Serenity. So she works, stays up late so that she can take apart the power junctions for the mess when nobody will need them, carefully clean every part because she can't replace them but she can keep them clean, she can do something to keep *these* in working order, safe and well and thrumming with life. She crawls through access panels that are really too small for her, finds things that were never really meant to be accessed. They're meant to last the life of the ship. They're meant to endure.
She's determined to make them last even longer. Make Serenity last longer. It's not much, but maybe she can make it be enough.
