Notes: This hasn't been beta'd so any assault on your sensibilities is completely my fault. Written for consci_fan_mo, day 2. Yes, the icon inspired this fic. This icon has been a favorite of mine for many years and I felt it deserved its own fic.


Without taking her eyes off her husband Zoe cut a bite-sized slice out of the apple and then proceeded to eat it in a fairly lascivious manner. She cut a new slice off and offered it to Wash, still looking him straight in the eye.

"Oh, you’d like that, wouldn’t you, you wicked temptress? You eat the apple and then I eat the apple and then the next thing you know we both feel bad about being naked."

"On the other hand,” Wash brightened, "We would both be naked."

Book couldn’t resist the opening. "You know most Biblical scholars don’t think it was an apple that Adam and Eve ate from the Tree of Knowledge. For a long time many of them thought that it was probably a fig, though some people argued it was more likely a pomegranate."

Zoe shrugged and made the second apple slice disappear in a shiveringly similar manner to the previous one. Then she slowly licked her fingers and stood up to leave.

As Wash was following his wife out of the dining room he paused and looked back at Book. "Just between you and me?" he grinned, "I’m pretty sure it was an apple."

I liked this 'slice' of life very much. What a pair they are.

They're such a great couple, if for no other reason than they're sane.

Absolutely grin-crackingly gorgeous! I can *so* hear Wash saying that!

LOLS! Love it :-D

HUZZAH for a stable married couple who have sex ;-D

I know! As much as there is about it that annoys me I will always have a soft spot for The Mummy Returns because, OMG, they're married with a kid and they're still capable of being fun and interesting! What a concept!

Well that, and Oded Fehr.

Whee. Very sexy, very fun, very Wash and Zoe. I love it.

It would have been a whole different thing with a pomegranate, wouldn't it?

(And can I say, I'm so excited that you're posting fic!)

Also, I now realize it's an Absolute Truth that feedback is crack.
