Martes - Rare Pairings

[drabblewriter.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'm still drabblewriter , and you're still stuck with me as your host. ^_^ Today's theme is rare pairings. Every fandom has that one OTP (or two or three) that everyone seems to ship, but what about all those other possibilities? Today is the time for these little-known couples to shine. ♥

Don't forget to follow the rules:

• Post no more than three prompts per fandom and no more than five prompts in a row. If someone fills a prompt, you're more than welcome to post some more prompts later in the day.
• No spoilers in prompts for at least seven days after the original airdate or publication date. If you have spoilers in your fic, please warn in bold and leave at least three spaces.
• Show some love to the code monkeys and format your prompts correctly. Examples below:
•           Supernatural, Dean/Crowley, coping
•           Supernatural, Sam/Brady, first meeting
•           Supernatural/Torchwood, Dean/Jack, 40 years in Hell vs. 2,000 years buried alive

If you don't see anything here that tickles your fancy, be sure to check out the Lonely Prompts.

Firefly, Mal/River, "little albatross"

I can't write them as a pairing but...

**takes place sometime during Serenity**

An albatross was supposed to be a ship's good luck, and mostly River had been, so Mal finds himself disinclined to hand her over to the waiting authorities.

He doesn't yet consider her 'crew', but she's wormed her way into that place where Inara likes to say his heart used to be. Before Serenity Valley he probably would have adopted her already, but these days he likes to protect himself a little better around the soft bits.

As if she can hear him thinking about her, and maybe she can, he don't understand a gorram thing that brother of hers ever says about it, River pads into the cockpit on nearly silent feet.

"It's late little one," He says softly, "Little girls best be in their beds."

"But I'm not a little girl." River says, her voice so much older than the rest of her.

"What are you then?"

She climbes into his lap, startling him enough he nearly topples them both to the floor.

"Little albatross." She murmurs into his chest.
