It's true, Simon and River are the first siblings in the Jossverse who get introduced as siblings at the start of the show, neither of which gets killed off, and whose relationship is important to their show. And lo and behold, what happens in fanfic?

Of course, it doesn't help that Joss not only says that every relationship can validly be interpreted as romantic, but also claims that he ships Simon/River. Oh, Joss.

Or that he used identical blocking for Wes/Fred in A Hole in the World as he did in nearly every Simon and River scene. Which I found icky and creepy more than anything, but clearly Joss doesn't mean that way.

I think that was settled for me as soon as I saw what kind of promo pictures they released for Fallout. I mean, come on!

Is it sad that I'm mostly just giggling about Milo's feet not touching the ground there because the bench is too high? But, yeah, how about a romance novel cove (http://www.heroes-pictures.com/albums/promotional/episodes/2x08/normal_NUP_110722_0586.jpg)r!
