Why this must be read:
Anyone who reads Firefly slash will probably recognize or have read works by Kelly Girl. I was surprised that this story hadn’t been recced yet. It’s refreshing and the fandom needs more long slash stories with substance.
This story is an alternate universe, set after the episode “Safe”. What if Mal hadn’t been able to return for Simon and River? This story explores one delightfully dark possibility of what could happen to Simon. Alternate Universes are not that common in Firefly, especially one with this slash pairing, well written and of its extended length. It’s a story I return to read often and I think you will enjoy it.
Excerpt:
Blue-gray eyes meet his and Mal is relieved to see no visible marks on the face before him. He looks almost the same but to someone like Mal who knew him from before, his eyes look...not wild, just weird. There is no shock or relief in those eyes as Simon Tam offers in a quiet whisper, "What would you have me do Captain?"
Mal steps up close but Simon doesn't blink or step back. Chest tight, mind racing at the possibilities he whispers, "Do you know who I am? Do you remember me Simon?"
The small laugh from the man in front of him doesn't reassure Mal in the least. He steps back as Simon moves around him and sits on the bed.
"Of course I know who you are! Really Captain I know you are not one for stupid questions but I guess anyone can have an off day. Now what do you want to do while you're here?"
The story is written in five parts and can be accessed here:
