The Hug Simon Now! Challenge, by skripka and rebecca.

skripka: It's been a tough few years for Simon Tam.
blueraccoon: He rescued his sister, even though he became a wanted fugitive and abandoned everything he's ever known in order to do so.
skripka: Not to mention medical school!
blueraccoon: And he doesn't exactly have it easy now, mind you.
skripka: Trapped on a rickety (sorry, Kaylee) ship, with a psychotic captain and a bunch of space pirates...
blueraccoon: Plus, his sister's psychic and a possible assassin. Don't forget that.
skripka: Quite frankly, we think the poor boy needs a bit of a break.
blueraccoon: He needs hugs. Lots of them.
skripka: From as many people as possible.
blueraccoon: Doesn't even have to be sexual, just as long as he gets hugs.
skripka: Slash, het, platonic. Hugs.
skripka: Lots of them.
blueraccoon: From everyone.
skripka: Didn't we say that already?
blueraccoon: Good point. Scratch that.
skripka: Oh, well. You get the picture.
skripka: Give the boy hugs, or we... what'll we do again?
blueraccoon: We'll...isn't it enough that he'll be suffering untold angst? Have you no sympathy for this poor man?
blueraccoon: Challenge requirements: Fic can be any genre, any length. But it *must* include Simon getting hugged by one or more members of *Serenity's* crew.
blueraccoon: You have until August 15 to respond.
skripka: Post anywhere you like, just drop a link in the comments here.
blueraccoon: Note that we will be putting up a central site with all the fics once the challenge is over. Any questions or problems, email us at blueraccoon@mac.com or skripka2@mac.com.
