Summary: What if River and Simon
planned the whole thing?
Author's Notes: Okay. So.
Dark!Simon is so totally to blame for this. This is a nutty AU

River giggled. "We can do that after dinner."
"You bet, sister-mine. Once that's done, everything will be in place. Are you ready?"
"I was born ready," she replied, before burying her face in his shoulder.
Simon rubbed his sister's back affectionately. "Tai hao le, xiao mei mei," he whispered. "Tai hao le..."
