Many thanks go to gilliebeans for holding me to my sentence-a-day pact, and reading and encouraging me along the way as I finished this up!

Summary: The crew engages in a drinking game...
Authors' Note: Written for fireflyfaninnc for her prompt of ‘drunk’. This one turned out a bit longer than expected :o)

( Just Might Be )

Anyone want to give me a Firefly prompt?
I'd like to try and do just some real, 100 word type drabbles, and I *really* need a distraction from all the shit today.

Author’s Note: Written for hfleming8, for the prompt ‘Inara, keywords: Mal Reynolds and Happiness’. It’s been a *long* time since I did one of these :o)


Mal Reynolds and happiness; they weren’t two words Inara would normally put in the same sentence. To say Mal was often tetchy was an understatement; that he thrived on his bad temperament and prickly disposition was more accurate.

And yet – and yet – there were those rare occasions – and make no mistake, they were very rare – but there were those rare occasions when much of that dark, bristling, antagonistic side of Mal was less in evidence, when what Inara always considered to be a glimpse of his younger self was able to shine through.

It was on nights like those, nights like tonight, that Inara liked to watch him most. When his laugh was free and his smile came easy, and his shoulders seemed not quite so bowed by the weight of the ‘verse upon them. Then his features would soften, his eyes would find hers and sparkle, draw her in to what seemed their own private joke.

On those nights, like tonight, she was free to be more of herself - when he didn’t need her so much. When his anger and loss didn’t plague him so heavily, didn’t pull at her so, with the urge to comfort, to sooth, to heal; when it wasn’t so dangerous to enjoy his company.

And yet… it was on nights like these - when happiness visited for however briefly – it was nights like these that left Inara the saddest.

I've nearly finished the first of the two holsters I'm making to hold my two versions of Mal's pistol - the one from Firefly, and the one from Serenity. All I need to do is stain it and add the cinching belt and this one will be done.

( Pics behind the cut )

I'm making a holster for my Mal Pistol.
I've spent some time examining pictures of the holster, and also some of the reproductions I've seen out there, and made a pattern that I hope will work. I've never made a holster before, and I don't look forward to the stitching part *G* but I've been working on a gun belt (not patterend after Mal's, one of my own weird design, based on some western gunbelts and what I had on hand) so I'd like to be able to strap the ol' iron on too ;o)

I'll let you know how it turns out :oD

Here it is, my finished browncoat:
