Simon is a very strong person, but everyone has a breaking point. A drabble done for the firefly 100. Cross posted because I may extend the story in some way and because I'm astonished that I've written something not Rayne. Warning Character Death

A drabble for the firefly 100 challenge. Cross posted because I am so astonished that I've managed to write something that isn't rayne and because I might extend this with more drabbles to explain things a bit.

Sun

Simon sings, "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy, when skies are grey, you'll never know dear, how much I love you, so please don't take, my sunshine away." His face is blank for a second, like a jukebox searching for the next track. His bloody, gloved hands rub together, over and over.

He starts again, "You are my sunshine, my only…"

"River?" There's a big question in Mal's use of her name.

River lays a hand on Kaylee's still chest. "A wolf devoured the sun."

She looks at Simon, still singing, "cold makes things brittle."
