Title: Broken
Fandom: Firefly
Pairing/Characters: Mostly Mal and River, but team fic towards the finish
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 4188
Prompt: For the

angst_bingo prompt 'Hallucinations' and the

100_tales prompt #072 'Broken'
Summary: People aren't supposed to remember pain. Mal has a lot of bad memories, and now, imprisoned, he’s being forced to relive them. Even if his crew can rescue him, he's been damaged.
WARNINGS: Torture, emotional trauma, PTSD-like affliction
Spoilers:: set post the movie "Serenity"
Author Notes and Beta Reader info: I've been working on this fic for some time. The first draft was kindly beta'd for me for by jane0904. Her suggestions for improvements were insightful and I knew it would be a far better story if I rewrote the fic with her comments in mind. Unfortunately I then left the fic sitting on my hard drive for many months. I recently signed up for an angst_bingo card challenge and the prompt 'Hallucinations' caught my eye. I remembered this fic, and have finally rewritten it to best of my ability and am finally letting it into the public eye. Please note that jane0904 has had no input into this second draft and any errors or shortcomings are completely my own.

I have no will power :P I'm supposed to finish one of my memes/bingos before signing up for anything else. Three days into the month and I'm signed up for

angst_bingo
