Rumpelstiltskin by Lorraine (G)

Hey there! I'm Lyr, and I'll be driving the Firefly van for November. I read a wide variety of genres and pairings all across the spectrum of slash, femslash, and gen; accordingly, I'm going to try to present y'all with a pretty diverse selection of fine works this month. All aboard!

Fandom: FIREFLY
Pairing: Gen
Length: 1127 words

Why this must be read: One of the most fascinating things about the Firefly 'verse is its rich texture. So often while watching canon I found myself wondering about events and characters off in the shadowy sidelines. Fortunately, Lorraine's particular genius as a writer is a wonderful ability to bring glorious illumination to just such sidelines, so it's no surprise that this story is a beautifully detailed, elegantly economical exploration of Regan Tam. This tale adds depth and pitiable humanity to a character whom one cannot really find likeable in canon, and makes an already vibrant 'verse seem just that much more vivid and compelling.
