[femmenerd.livejournal.com]

Title: “A Woman’s Worth”
Author: femmenerd
Characters/Pairings: Inara-centric, Inara/Mal, ensemble
Rating: up to NC17, this part PG13
Disclaimer: Joss created these characters but left us with so many mysteries. So I’m playing with them, but I promise that no one’s paying me to do so.
Summary: Inara’s got secrets, past and future. Crooks and crannies in her psyche and strengths even she doesn’t know the meaning of yet. Picks up a few weeks post-Serenity.
Author’s Note: This fic incorporates deleted scenes on the DVD as well as some information from commentaries into its ‘verse. Generally, these instances will be noted.
Dedication: Much love to greenapricot because,well, I love her and she listens to me babble and gives as good as she gets. She’s helped me more than she knows in terms of being a sounding board, cheerleader and inspiration.
