snick_backupBecause clearly my entire reason for watching Firefly was so I could write River into weird crossovers, here's one more. Someone over at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
fandom_stocking wanted River/Lucas, and even though I can't ship them seriously of course I had to write something, because: River and seaQuest!
Upstaged
She was brilliant, for one thing. Lucas was smart, Lucas had a knack, Lucas knew how to put one byte in front of another, but River was Nintendo to his Atari.
Graceful, too. Slipped updeck and down like it was home.
Which, another thing: portal? spaceships? anti-gravity and dozens of terraformed planets? It sounded as good as Narnia. Better than, maybe.
And okay, fine, she was pretty. Beautiful. Unearthly? Like no girl he knew, anyway, hair hanging in her face, eyes that saw the whole world as physics and logic.
Now, if only she’d talk to him instead of Darwin.
