"A Figure of Great Romance" and "Pirate Tale"

[naughtyelf.livejournal.com]

I've been trying to rec one Mal/Inara fic and one Inara only or other pairing fic in each post, since so many of the Inara-centric fics are Mal/Inara. I'm reccing two M/I fics in this post, though, because they're both on a similar theme and I really wanted to rec them together :) They're both based around a deleted scene from Serenity which can be found in the Visual Companion :D

Claim: Firefly: Inara Serra
Title: A Figure of Great Romance
Author: Rach (naughtyelf) [Yep, me ... I've already rec'd 12 others now so I think it should be okay!]
Characters: Inara, Sheydra, Mal (in a sense), companion girls
Prompt: 17. Jealous
Rating: PG-13
Length: Medium
Brief summary: I'm really proud of this story, and while it *is* Mal/Inara, its more about Inara than the couple. I'm putting it under the 'jealousy' prompt because Inara is jealous of the imaginary version of herself that the girls have cooked up. :)

Claim: Firefly: Inara Serra
Title: Pirate Tale
Author: homespunfic
Characters: Inara, Mal, the Operative
Prompt: 24. Future!Fic
Rating: PG-13
Length: Medium
Brief summary: I love the way this retells one of my absolute favourite scenes in the movie, the Inara voice is perfect, as is the bante rbetween the two of them! It's just wonderful, especially for a first fic in the fandom!
