001 Thunder
A crash of thunder set Inara’s heart racing and for once, she was glad that Mal was by her side, despite his obvious delight in teasing her about it.
002 Easy
Nothing had ever come easy to them – not when they first met, not when they’d known each other for several months and not even now, as they held hands and raced through the rain, exchanging sharp comments and insults.
003 Old
Never before had Inara imagined growing old with someone who cared for her as much as Mal.
004 Let’s go
Mal whispered, “let’s go”, in her ear and she nodded before following him out of the musty bar.
005 Ash
His heart was ash on the metal floor of Serenity as Inara said her final goodbyes to the rest of the crew.
006 Lucky
They’d gotten in trouble a lot of times in the past and had come out unscathed, a thing that made Inara very much certain that someone really liked them or else they possessed more luck than their fair share.
007 Voices
Their voices lowered, Mal and Inara decided to spend the night in Mal’s bunk rather than in the shuttle.
008 Blue
Blue eyes, full of sorrow, stared back at her and she knew that it would be the last thing she ever saw.
009 Room
“We should keep it in the room”, she had told him, but it was the last thing she wanted to do.
010 Cliché
Had Inara not known better, she’d have thought her newfound relationship with Mal to be a cliché.
011 Hug
His arms went around her shoulders instinctively and he pulled her close as she cried into his shirt.
012 Crystal clear
“Are we clear?” she had asked him in regard to the addendums she had set up and although he knew he wasn’t going to follow them all, he said “crystal clear”.
013 Search
Mal spent the entire day searching for a present for Inara when he heard that it was her birthday.
014 Morning
They didn’t wake up by each other’s side in the morning, but what they had was enough.
015 Doubt
She doubted that they’d ever have a real relationship – and he doubted that he’d ever prove her wrong.
016 Summer
Watching Kaylee and River roll around in the grass one summer’s day, Inara and Mal went an entire hour without exchanging a single insult.
017 Wind
Wind in her hair, Inara walked alongside Mal towards Serenity.
018 Afternoon
They spent the rest of the afternoon sitting on the catwalk together, legs dangling below them.
019 Guilt
Guilt-ridden, Mal offered Inara a book of poetry he’d found offworld to replace the candleholder he’d broken while in her shuttle that morning.
020 Regret
Regret, to them, was not telling each other their true feelings.
021 When
Mal had tried again and again to talk to Inara about their relationship when he realised what had sent her away the last time, but could never quite get the right words out.
022 Tongue-tied
The day Inara pushed Mal against the wall and pressed her mouth to his was the day he learned a new meaning to the word ‘tongue-tied’.
023 Green
As they walked through the forest, leaves of different colours fell down around them, mottled green and yellow and brown.
024 Yellow
He watched her paint yellow poppies over the walls of the mess with Kaylee, spellbound by the elegance she displayed with each stroke of her brush.
025 Die
Death was inevitable and dying alone, though Inara protested, was also.
026 Bathe
Bathing was a luxury that, once Inara introduced him to, he couldn’t get enough of.
027 Evening
Late in the evening when Mal and Inara were the only ones left in the mess, they shared the final bottle of Kaylee’s freshly made wine; the next morning it hit them just how much they had drunk.
028 More
They both wanted more; they both remained silent.
029 Acting
It was the day after Mal and Inara had gotten drunk together that Kaylee noticed them acting strangely and worked out what had happened.
030 Less
Less, to them, was more and Inara hated it.
