Bad Business by Annie M (R)
Hello, I'm ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hawkmoth, and I'll be taking the wheel this month for FIREFLY recommendations. My goal is to provide a mix of stories based on the series, from authors not previously recced; and a selection of more recent fic based on the movie SERENITY.
First up:
Fandom: FIREFLY
Pairing: N/A
Author on LJ: N/A
Author Website: Annie M's Story Archives
Why this must be read:
It's a crying shame that Annie M (known as TrekGirl in ST:VOYAGER fandom) wrote only one FIREFLY story. But it's a doozy. She takes the recurring theme of Serenity's crew in dire straits with limited job options, and gives it a kick with the introduction of some intriguing original characters. There's great character interaction, thrilling heroics, scary moments, and one hell of a twist to answer one of the series' mysteries (beating the movie to the punch by almost two years).
They sat in silence for several minutes and Zoe watched patrons enter and leave the grimy but well stocked saloon while Mal brooded over his drink.
Zoe eventually broke the silence between them. "We need to find a job, sir."
Without looking up Mal spat, "I'm well aware of that fact, Zoe."
"We can't find one sitting here drinking, sir," she replied coolly.
Mal brought his head up and looked directly at his first mate. He noticed that contrary to her remark, she wasn't drinking, didn't even have a glass before her. Instead she sat watching him, her elbows leaning on the table, face calm, dark brown eyes reflecting no hint of accusation. Mal took a deep breath.
"Zoe, maybe you hadn't noticed but it seems to me all employment opportunities on this here planet just crawled up that heng, edu nuren's hou bian."
