Hi! I'm Mimi, and I'll be reccing Firefly this month.

Fandom: FIREFLY

Pairing: (no abbreviations, please) Mal/Inara/Zoe

Length: approximately 3,800
Author on LJ: bluerosefairy

Why this must be read:

This story really shouldn't work, on multiple levels. Second-person POV is extremely tough to pull off, and I'm not sure if I've seen it does better than bluerosefairy does here. It's hard enough to get Mal into bed with one person, let alone two. And in 'With Chords of Red', Mal is paired with not only his first mate, but a Companion, and both at once. With these three, there's bound to be angst and heartache, but they're actually fairly functional in this story. It's really brilliant: there's just enough of Inara's voice, and though she doesn't use slang as much as the others do, it reads like Joss would've written it. It's a bit lyrical, but not overly so.
