Distracted by ana (PG-13)
Okay, one last rec for the road before I turn y'all over to your June driver. Thanks for riding along with me, and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Until next time!

Why this must be read: This is an AU in which Wash never develops a relationship with Zoe, but instead goes after Mal. Now, I love Wash with Zoe; I like how they fit together so well that I hardly ever read either of them with anyone else. But the most amazing thing about this story is that it takes the way Wash complements Zoe and makes those same things work with Mal. I love how the similarities between Mal and Zoe, their shared experiences of war and defeat and the darkened spaces that leaves in their souls, might be ameliorated by the light that is Wash for either of them. Ana simply brings that healing to Mal rather than Zoe, which is a far more profound character insight for all three of them than you might expect. Reversing the roles sheds new light all around, and makes this a fascinating read. The stunningly good voices and excellent dialogue add extra shiny, too.
