Firefly/Battlestar Galactica (PG)

Title: Resting Place by Vaznetti
Pairing: None
Author on LJ:Vaznetti
Author Website:"Wrestling with Proteus"

Why this must be read: A gritty story about survival is a way to describe both these shows. This author combines them with ease. Seeing the crew of Serenity try to keep secrets while in the universe of Battlestar Galactica left me wanting more. I loved the interactions between characters from both worlds.

Telling the others went just about a smoothly as Mal expected. "The President's coming here?" Kaylee squealed. "To Serenity? And Captain Apollo too?"
"Wasn't there some way to refuse?" Simon asked.
Mal shrugged. "We're not in a good position to say no to Tom Zarek. And I don't guess that you want me using, "We're worried she'll notice we're not exactly from this part of the 'verse," as our excuse."

I'm intrigued, but none of the links lead me to this story. Any way you can link directly?

I had the same problem, [livejournal.com profile] msilverstar - try looking under title index, at a story called "Resting Place". It's the right author.

That link doesn't take me to a story, but to a site, and the only story that I can find there sort of fitting your description, is called "Resting Place" by Vaznetti.

What an intriguing blending of worlds. Thanks for the rec!

This is an excellent story, but you might want to correct the title in your rec. It should be "Resting Place" not "Restless."

Well, in all fairness, I probably only noticed because I recently posted a BSG story titled "Restless" and when I saw your post I had the sick feeling of "OMG! I stole somebody else's fic title!" I was actually kind of relieved that it was a typo rather than title poaching!
