An Unsuitable Man, Inara, Brian/Justin, Firefly/QaF crossover  
Inara (Firefly) and Brian/Justin (QaF)
Planet Ariel, set during Firefly
Rated NC 17
Words: 614
Inara returns to her mentor and the unsuitable man she once loved, Master Justin of the Ariel Companion House, who gives her very unusual comfort and hope for winning her stubborn new love.
Includes the prompt "Danger zone" for [info]tamingthemuse

This quirky piece was partially inspired by a desire to write Inara and Justin, as well as Brian/Justin in a futuristic setting. I'm doing it in three short pieces as part of my extra Taming prompts.


Ariel, Alliance Core Worlds, Companion House

"Lao pung yo, nee can chi lai hun yo jing shen," Master Justin said, breezing into the medical bay.

He was wearing a yellow silk kimono with bright red flowers, his slender body moving like a dancer, face eager and intelligent. His youthful appearance didn't jive with running the most prestigious core world’s pleasure house and the rumor he was over five hundred years old.

Inara tried to remain composed despite the fact she was sitting with her legs spread in stirrups, the pink, plump folds of her sex exposed.

He patted her arm. "Blushing, meimei?"

Inara felt that familiar tight feeling in her stomach of attraction, despite knowing he was a lover of men. Justin was an experienced courtesan and had pleasured both men and women before he'd assumed rule of this house. Now he shared himself with only a few special students, all male.

She sighed, hoping he'd never guess the real reason she's run away from his house. "I haven't changed so much from your servant girl," she said.

"No." Justin bent close and kissed her and then squeezed her thigh gently, watching her response.

It was part of testing, but he would never be someone she could be indifferent to.

Her lips parted but then she sagged a moment later, knowing that the tease was only the examination, not real desire on his part.

"So weary after your year of wandering, my Inara," Justin whispered. His fingers dipped in a bowl of honey and he rubbed it over her, spreading her like a delicate fan.

Her head fell back and she regulated her breathing. Enjoy. This is art, like cooking, like calligraphy, dancing and painting.

"I brought disgrace on your house," she said, eyes falling from his gentle blue gaze. She knew she should be concentrating on the body now. On whether he wanted her to come...or not come. Reading his signals. But--

"Yu bun duh!"

"It's not stupid. I'm responsible--"

"And so you took responsibility and now you wander in that gos se ship."

"Serenity is home, as much as your house was home." Pain knotted in her chest. Mal is home. She pushed him aside, practiced, as she'd once been practiced in pushing aside another unsuitable man.

"You're in love!" Justin gave her an enthusiastic kiss and then helped her off the medical bed. "Come to my rooms. We'll share chai and secrets."

Inara reached for a gown and closed it between her full breasts, pulling her long hair out so it fell down her shoulders.

Justin smoothed it. "I want to paint you, meimei. Paint you on the edge of pleasure."

A year ago she would have given him that, let herself navigate the tangled danger zone of a relationship that only lived in her head and then retreated to seclusion for days in the aftermath.

She took his hand and smiled almost naturally. "He's unsuitable."

Soft, "Surely more suitable than I was?"

Translations from Firefly Chinese Net:

Lao pung yo, nee can chi lai hun yo jing shen: you're looking wonderful, old friend.
meimei: little sister.
yu bun duh: stupid.
gos se: crap

Very interesting
I enjoyed Firefly for the short time it was aired. Inara is a captivating character and I look forward to more of this story. This Justin has a hint of Spike in Kept. Very interesting. Thank you, thank you.

Very unusual premise. I enjoyed it although I have not seen Firefly and so lack the background.

I am interested to see what you are going to do with Justin (and eventually Brian) in this world.

Firefly is the only show of Joss' that I haven't watched so I actually don't even know who Inara is (though I think Mal is the character Adam Baldwin portrayed isn't he? *is clueless*).

So even if reading about Inara is like reading about an original character for me, I have to say I enjoyed the reading and I found it very intriguing. I shall wait to see how Brian will fit into this world :)

After reading this, I came to a conclusion: I NEED/HAVE to watch Firefly because of that wonderful teaser.
I've loved you for Noir, Apple, Bali and...actually all your fics, so I'm doubly excited over this new one.
Thank you so much.

I don't know a darn thing about Firefly, as you know, but I think this is a nifty story. I don't know why, but it did not show up on my f-list, so I did not find it until now. I am so glad I did, though, because it is very intriguing so far. More great work from a writer whose work always impresses me!

I never watched Firefly, but I'll have to check it out. I always meant to, but forgot. I like the premise of this and Inara is very interesting. I'm looking forward to this story.

I actually didn't get into Firefly until long after it was off the air. Once I bought and watched the box set I was hooked (funny, same with QAF). I'm always on the look out for good Firefly fic these days, so I'm really excited about this.

I can already tell that I'm going to like the kind, wise, Companion!Justin, and I'm looking forward to seeing where this story takes us. ^^

I like Firefly- I have seen most of it and got the DVD of the series so I can watch the rest. I love that you've combined the two shows,especially with this premise.
Justin as the courtesan master-that sounds very hot. I like the relationship he has with Inara here and I'm looking forward to seeing how their lives and loves interweave.

I was just introduced to Firefly earlier this year so I am very excited about this new idea of yours. I always wondered about Inara's past, I suspect lots of heartbreak and drama. This should be a nice challenge for you, Jan, you are a master storyteller. And, Justin being 500 years old--hee, and still looking twink-like--priceless! *claps*

Very nice. I like the idea of Justin not just as a courtesan, but an expert on both men and women, that's different and intriguing...

I never watched firefly but Inara seems like a great character, a good match with Justin, sort of a sophisticated Daphne.

Can't wait to see how you insert Brian into this adventure in pleasure.

You're one of my favorite authors. I know you'll be able to make this world seem real. Very good so far and very intriguing.

I never loved Firefly quite as much as I wanted to, but I do have a fondness for it. I've not read fic, except for a few Rayne oneshots, but I always thought Mal and Inara were yummy.

Really nice job setting up a lot in very few words.

I'm not sure how I will read this one. I may skip around, although that sounds rude. I think I just can't read smut involving women. No fem slash, and I'm pretty sure no het, either. It's not a lack of interest... I have a violent reaction (kicked in around paragraph three, lol) that I can't really explain.

I just wanted you to know I haven't left you :)
