"Professionals" and "Coming Away Bloody"

Claim: Firefly: Inara Serra
Title: "Professionals"
Author: Samantha (inlovewithnight)
Characters: Inara, Jayne
Prompt: 08. Friendship.
Rating: PG-13
Length: Medium
Brief summary: One of the only (if not THE only) Jayne/Inara fic I've come across, and it portrays their relationship wonderfully - it isn't sexual or romantic in any way, but shows them as peers and people who aren't really that dissimilar, when you get down to it.

Claim: Firefly: Inara Serra
Title: "Coming Away Bloody"
Author: poisontaster
Characters: Inara, Mal
Prompt: 14. Loss.
Rating: G
Length: Short
Brief summary: Absolutely heartbreaking Mal/Inara that has some excellent Mal characterisation, really showing him and how he lost his hope completely. The way he thinks about Inara is just perfect, and it fits so well into the timeline of the show that it's really believable as an internal monologue that Mal would have.

That Inara & Jayne friendship piece was so great! I'm really excited about the stories you'll be reccing for Inara -- she's one of my favorite FF characters, and I don't seem to find as much fic as I would like about her.

Thanks for the great recs.

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I'm gonna do my best to whore Inara round some with these recs(pardon the pun!), 'cause the majority of Inara-centric fic is Mal/Inara and while I love me some Mal/Inara... it's not the be all and end all!
