Why this must be read:
Another recommendation for a story by Skripka. What can I say? I just love how she loves a screwed up relationship between Mal and Simon. And what a screwed up, oh so lovely and dark relationship it is in “Damned”.
But in my opinion Firefly/Serenity has this darkness swirling around in it, especially in the character of Mal. Simon is damaged and drawn to Mal like so many others is the crew. This is another good look at how Mal’s charisma could be interpreted.
Excerpt:
But it's really hard to hold onto his identity as a doctor when no one else can. And he can see why Zoe follows Mal. Why Jayne remains. Even why Inara and Book are fascinated.
He's like a sun, brilliant and eclipsed. Damaged and charismatic. Simon's been drawn to Mal since day one. How could he have helped it? The man reeks dignity and pain. It's an addictive combination; a man he could help and who would protect Simon with his last breath. Simon had been able to control his attraction, though. At least until he had less self to actually be.
