Firefly drabble fest post #4
Watched some more episodes, wrote some more drabbles:
Title: The Day You Die
Characters: Zoe, Mal, Serenity
Rating: PG
Words: 200
Takes place during "Out of Gas". (The first Firefly ficlet I wrote, a year and a half ago, also takes place during this episode: Incense.)
Zoe calls things like she sees them, and what she saw that first day was a piece of fei-oo, but Mal was already in love. "She'll be with you till the day you die," he'd said, and though she'd made a joke of it, she feared he had a death wish, that all his talk of freedom really just meant giving up. But it'd been so long since she'd seen him look that hopeful (looking back now, a year's next to nothing, but time worked differently just after the war) that she couldn't oppose him, could only tease a little.
Five years on she wakes up in the second shuttle with the skinny young doctor leaning over her. As soon as Wash hears she's awake he runs over from the helm, and Zoe's about to say something about how somebody needs to fly the thing, but then River's at the controls and doing a damn fine job. Except that they're flying in the wrong direction. "Go back," she orders, and no amount of talk about limited oxygen or captain's orders can change her mind. "If I'm gonna die today," says Zoe, "it'll be on Serenity." River turns the shuttle around.
Title: Thank You
Pairing: Jayne/Simon

rubynye's prompt "Jayne, kiss, kick", takes place after "Ariel".
Remix!: Thank You (The Proper Remix) bytrascendenza
"I want to thank you again for saving River and me back there."
"It weren't nothin', I already said."
"We put our lives in your hands – "
"They were gonna kill me too, in case you hadn't noticed, so just... quit lookin' at me with them pretty eyes, will you?"
"No, Jayne, I don't want to stop looking at you. Unless I'm doing this..." Simon closed his eyes as he closed his lips over Jayne's, and then opened.
"Well ain't that a kick in the head," Jayne said after. "I'll be your hero whenever you want." He kissed him again.
Title: Sharing
Characters: Jayne, Mal
Rating: PG
Words: 200
Fromgamerchick's prompt "Jayne, Vera, money", takes place immediately following "War Stories" (also references "Ariel").
"That's some fine soup," said Jayne.
"Nice of Zoe and Wash to share," Mal agreed.
"Nice of all of us to share, I think you mean."
"What's that now?"
"You might not've noticed, bein' tied to them torture machines and all, but Zoe paid Niska an awful lotta money to get you back."
"Only managed to get Wash back in that way, as I recall."
"Yeah, well... but it coulda got you back too, if Niska'd been decent about things."
"Well, that's a way of lookin' at it."
"What I'm sayin' is, we all put in our own money what we earned from the job so's we could get you back, both of you. That's because we. Well, what you said before about. In the airlock? And risked all our lives to come back the second time because. And me too, see? So next time you're gettin' set to kill somebody 'cause you decided they ain't loyal enough, might wanna remember what me and Vera did for you back there."
"And forget all about how you tried to get more money for yourself by selling out River and Simon."
"That's right."
"Jayne."
"Yeah?"
"You ate all the soup for yourself."
