Holy Mugwump, Batman: It's NINA'S LJ FANFICTION MASTERLIST.

Some of the things I've written will forever be lost to antiquity, like my fabulous collection of drunk Firefly drabbles or that random 2,000-word short story I did on Chicago for fuck's sake, but nobody wants to be bothered with memories anymore. So here it all is. (At least, after about 2004. I've been a fanfic-writing freak since '98.) Excerpts appear in italics below each link.

It occurs to me that I tend to kind of underestimate on these ratings. OH, WELL. IT'S GOOD FOR THEM. I was corrupted by fanfic as a child, and look how great I turned out to be!

Also, ff_fanfic seems to have done away with the only other Mal/Inara-ish thing I've ever done, which was that piece with all the mindfuckery that nobody read because I billed it as Mal/River/Inara and it wasn't really, it was just either Mal/River or Mal/Inara depending on how you looked at it, and I think it's pretty critical that I stop talking now. But I'd like to thank goldy_dollar for trying her valiantest to get me to write Mal/Inara, and I'd like to thank jazzfic, whatever_we_are, fireworkfiasco, and ana_sedai, for, well, BEING MY HOMEGIRLS. Really. Those were the golden days.

Doctor Who
I think planetbarcelona's doing a pretty good job keeping track of these particular shenanigans (what with the TAGS and all). Maybe I'll come back later and add them. :P They're mostly Nine/Rose and Ten/Rose, with a sprinkling of Four/Romana II to make things Old School. YEAH FOUR.

Firefly
Better than Flying (Mal/River, R, 358 words, for whatever_we_are in serenity_santa)
"Talk to me," she said, curling up in the shirt she'd just removed from him. "Tell me how it feels."

Broken Memories (Mal/River, PG-13, 1000 words, done for the picfor1000 ficathon)
For some reason her door was still open, and she looked out and wondered exactly how bad she would feel if she woke Simon up at this xiong meng de kuang ren hour, and whether that would be worse than the panic she felt now.

Corsair (Mal/Inara, PG-13, 1064 words)
It was the same dance, and no matter how old it got they clung to the steps like lifelines, because if one toe got out of place the music and the rhythm would spin out of control and there would be nothing left of normalcy.

Drifting (Mal/River, PG-13, 2380 words, for malriv_ficathon)
"Shhh," River said. "The stomach is the optimum hit point for serious warfare. Legs cannot be afforded. Arms are needed for weapons. In the stomach you will bleed and hurt but you will not die. Pain is a weakness. A small inconvenience. Death is intolerable."

Enough (Mal/River, R, 1351 words)
Mal doesn't want to cry in front of Zoe, but then he does want to, so he tries, but the tears are dry before they reach his face and he is so numb that he scrapes his face against the jagged edge of the rock to see what is wrong. When there's blood running into his eyes the dream goes black for a moment and River reaches out to grab something before it returns.

First Law (Mal/River, unrated, 125 words)
She smiled, her eyes warm. "Exchanges of heat and work are energy transfers across a system boundary."

Five Drabbles (Mal/River, PG-13ish, 348 words, for whatever_we_are in serenity_santa)
Later, with her fingers on Serenity's controls and the captain she loves to her right, she realizes she is too afraid to read his thoughts.

Good Omens (Mal/River, PG-13, 3508 words, for the shinyhearts ficathon)
"Might not be too wise to be thinkin' on such things at this hour," Mal advised, getting up to come stand behind her. He'd wanted to anchor her, but giving her the hug he'd intended suddenly didn't seem like a very good idea.

Have to Be Here (Mal/River, PG-13, 1467 words, for whatever_we_are in serenity_santa)
A smile twitched at the corner of her mouth. Mal always wondered where she found light enough to give him those little grins, but he didn't wonder too hard. Would take the magic away.

Instructions (Mal/River, PG-13, 806 words)
She had imagined him hard, hot, fast; she had pictured awkwardness and a struggle to keep up with him, a fight not to be forgotten.

Learning to Fly (Mal/River, hard PG-13, 15155 words)
Mal was all at once more afraid than he'd ever been of anything or anyone, but he wanted to dance and laugh and he was pretty gorram sure he wouldn't even need booze to do it. He held her desperately, carefully, as if she might break; his every protective instict ballooned into one when he felt her against him and realized that this was the one serenity he needed to keep forever.
Part II | Part III | Part IV | Part V | Part VI | Part VII | Part VIII | Part IX | Part X | Part XI

Little Mouse (Mal/River, G to light PG, 791 words)
Mal'd be lying if he didn't say he felt a complete fool for just assuming that a girl so graceful and intuitive wasn't a trained killer.

Metal (Mal/River, PG-13 but should probably be R, 896 words)
River wished he could bring himself to touch her for longer than a minute -- wished Simon would stop throwing the captain daggers with his eyes, and wished the captain wouldn't look down when he did.

Serenity (Mal/River, PG-13, 349 words)
"You love how you stopped just a little bit of it," she told him, touching his lips like she'd never felt them before. "You did something, made a difference. Didn't have to lie back and wait a week for the surrender."

Unholy (Mal/River, PG but should probably be PG-13, 893 words)
Even when the rest of his village compatriots were making faces and kicking the backs of pews, Mal faced forward, held tight to his momma's hand. And if during the hymns, some saw a blush creep across his cheeks as he sang, well, he still sang, and Ma Reynolds told her women that little Malcolm made her prouder than his daddy ever would.

Untitled (Mal/River, unrated, 241 words)
Something in her tone made him look back, and realize she was crying.

The Lord of the Rings
At Edoras No Longer (Eowyn/Faramir, G, 99 words)
I used to run to the stables of Meduseld and tell the stallions stories as I groomed them, brushing to the tune of a ballad or whispering details of the latest exciting sword manouver I'd learned.

Below the Balcony (Eowyn/Faramir, PG, 1012 words)
Long moments passed until the soldier sighed in sleep, his anxious visage relaxing, and at this his caregivers allowed themselves a smile.

Still Would I Love You (Eowyn/Faramir, PG, 504 words)
I had loved him because I wished to be lifted above all the mean things of the earth. The mean was all I saw.

Crossovers
The Loveliest Dream (Firefly/Kill Bill, Mal/River, R because it is an extreme crackfic of doom, 2167 words)
Doesn't really tell you she's hurtin' 'fore she keens. That comment was a little artistic license on the part of the captain.

Somebody Else (Doctor Who/Firefly, Ten/Inara, R, 1743 words, for the sonic_tea ficathon of ULTIMATE AWESOME)
"I forgot how you bristle," he replied. "I just didn't peg you for an edge-of-the-universe, illegal-smuggling kind of woman. You had rooms last time. And very eager attendants with nibbles."

WHY THE FUCK WOULD [Bad username or site: ff_fanfic / @ livejournal.com] GET RID OF YOUR GENIUS PIECE OF MAL/RIVER/INARA (WHICH, REALLY, WAS QUITE OBVIOUSLY MAL/INARA)? I AM SO UPSET NOW.

Also, that's a lot of Mal/River fic. *eyes*

[ninamazing.livejournal.com]

I still have the text! If you want to read it again! I was thinking of reposting it if there was interest ... so here just in case. :)

YOU KNOW, I CAN'T HELP WHAT I SEE IN MOVIES. YOU KNOW???!!!

I think we can both agree that Mal is hot.

<3

Back to Harry Potter!

[marble-rose.livejournal.com]

YOU WRITE MAL/RIVER? WHY DID I NOT KNOW THIS?

I'm hurt, Nina. I feel betrayed. All this time you've been holding out on me. I might even cry. I'll save the tears for after I read all this shiny Mal/River fic. You know, the fic you NEGLECTED TO TELL ME ABOUT.

[ninamazing.livejournal.com]

Um ... forgive me? (As you know, it's kind of unpopular as far as mainstream Firefly goes, and reviled by a lot of sensible, canon-loving fans. Also it makes me seem like a perv. So I try to keep it on the DL.)

PLEASE tell me what you think of the fic. :D I am really, still, SO into that pairing. And I'm always desperate for feedback.

We should probably be friends forever. Nine/Rose AND Mal/River? YOU MIGHT JUST BE MY SOULMATE! :P

[marble-rose.livejournal.com]

You're forgiven. I'm easy like that. ;)

Nine/Rose AND Mal/River?

What can I say? I like my ships hot. And I will TOTALLY be your friend forever. You supply the fic, I'll take care of the meta, and our joined awesomeness will make the internets TREMBLE. Or something. In the meantime, I'll see what I can do about that feedback.

I understand completely about keeping certain ships on the DL. In fact, I just won a few awards for this Peter/Claire (Heroes) fic I wrote, but I'm a little scared to make a post about it since the pairing is...frowned upon, to put it mildly. I'm even nervous pointing out to you that I like this pairing because I'm afraid of it skewing your opinion of me. In my defense, I liked the ship way before the daddy reveal, and I in no way support incest in real life. And I recced your fic so keep loving me.

[ninamazing.livejournal.com]

Of course I will keep loving you. And that is an awesome icon.

I've only seen a few episodes of Heroes (the Christopher Eccleston ones, pretty much :P ) so Peter/Claire does not gross me out since I have no idea what the daddy reveal is! And I have faith in your ability to appreciate personalities and not just kink. So.

I like my ships hot.

ME TOO.

You supply the fic, I'll take care of the meta, and our joined awesomeness will make the internets TREMBLE.

THAT SOUNDS AWESOME. We are a dream/team. I'm going to start working on another Nine/Rose, because I just owe it to you. :)

[fireworkfiasco.livejournal.com]

I DO NOT EVEN KNOW YOU AND I SUPPORT YOU.

So.

The writers were fucked the moment they let Peter and Claire get on screen together. That much chemistry and people were bound to notice. It's not our fault they had to make a mad scurry to cover it up.

[fireworkfiasco.livejournal.com]

UM You know Joss was going to give us a MindFuck that would have us walking crooked and Mal and River would have lived happily ever after for ever and ever the end.

[ninamazing.livejournal.com]

ABSOFRUITLY.

And I don't often say absofruitly, so that should tell you how much I agree.

(I MEAN WHY DO PEOPLE NOT SEE THIS.)
