Why this must be read: There's zombies, snark, apocalyptic undertones, and it's written by ana_grrl. What more could a reader want?

Set post Miranda, the Firefly 'Verse has another problem - there's a zombie outbreak. The story told from Jayne's POV, is interspersed with a history of how the zombie threat came about. I love the contrast between the scientist/politician's attitude and that of Simon and Jayne as they fight off the zombies. As usual the author provides spot on characterisations combined with a believable and totally readable story.


Yeah. That's the gorram problem. This is the only defensible place when you're saddled with a bunch of clueless folk. If it were just him and Simon – hell, if it was just him – maybe something else would work. He knows better to try and convince Simon of that, but maybe if he slugged him a good one and carried him out they could –

"You wouldn't make it out of the town centre," Simon says, real calm.

Jayne could play dumb, but it ain't worth the effort. "I could just slug you and leave you behind. Less of a weight around my neck. Bet Mal won't mind so much."

Simon smiles and in the dim light it almost looks real. "I like you too, Jayne."

He grins back and steps back up to the wall. "When I run out of bullets, the grenades are coming out, plan or no plan."

"This isn't exactly a surprise, you know."
