Brief summary: Inara doesn't actually appear in this story til the very end, but it's a gorgeous look at Mal when he's injured and his desire for Inara to come visit, when everybody else comes instead of her. It makes it wonderfully sweet when she finally arrives, too.

Characters: Mal, Inara, Kaylee, Wash, Zoe, Jayne, Simon, River
Pairing: Jayne/Simon
Prompt: 15. Crack!Fic
Rating: PG-13
Length: Long
Brief summary: So I'm slightly pushing this here as an Inara rec, since it's not really involving her as the central character, but I was really pushing it to find something I could fit into this category! This fic is fantastic fun with perfect characterisation, and involves the crew having to go out on a job in order to save Inara from a client who's held her hostage...

...and there's a sequel, too - Offer. Doesn't feature Inara at all, and its Jayne/Mal/Simon, but it's still top quality stuff and I thought it would be only fair to mention it! :D
