031: Ghosts

Title: Ghosts 
Author: aurey09 
Rating: g 
Word Count: 100 
Prompt: 031 
Character: River

Objects still call out to River, they need to be touched. She runs her fingertips over the dulled surface of Serenity‘s controls. She wonders if she can pickup on any of the ships past pilots, tap into the right frequency. Wash is still here, she expects there are others waiting for her to hear them.

They aren’t ghosts, she doesn’t believe in those. They'd never be classified as that, under any kind of scrutiny. Their thoughts simply got trapped, they can’t change, they’re merely echoes.

People remembered those ghosts but eventually Serenity will be all that is left of them.

Wow... that's beautiful... and I love the mention of echoes... especially since that was a theme with Summer Glau's character on Angel... :) Very nice

Thanks. This was actually the first thing I ever wrote about River. I just love her fractured view on the world.

I love this fic.

Could you please add the correct header? You can copy and paste it from the rules page (http://community.livejournal.com/still_grrr/358.html) it's listed under Fiction. I think you might have accidently copied the Fanart header.

Thanks

*blushes* sorry about that I've fixed it now. I'm glad you loved the fic.

Seriously, no need to blush- it happens to the best of us.
Thanks for fixing it so quickly.

Haunting that Serentiy may be all that lingers of our beloved crew!

Mal is really never leaving Serenity, in that case. Thanks for then review.

Nice job capturing the weird mix of whimsical and technical that is River.

[aurey09.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I had a lot of fun trying to capture that part of River's personality.

This was such a beautiful and haunting piece. Perfect capture of River and the thoughts inside her head. Really beautiful work.

Thanks. I liked writing this because it let me get inside River's head, and allowed me to understand and love the characters like I hadn't before.
