I have Gone Out, by Shrift (PG)

[leadensky.livejournal.com]

Fandom: Firefly
Pairing: None, River POV
Author on LJ: shrift
Author Website: Shrift.blog

Why this must be read:

1) Shrift has a flawless ear for voices, as demonstrated by her lovely (and already re'ed) Big Damn Zombies, Sir.

2) This is a lovely and lyrical look at the crew and the journey they are on from one of the more interesting characters. If you're going to start reading Firefly fic, this is a damn good place.

3) It's another example of the good fic to come out of the lj community FF_Friday.

River dreams reality, and reality dreams her. She doesn't know which one is more quantifiable. Sometimes this matters.

It's short and sweet, with a bitter, smokey, edge. Go read.

I Have Gone Out

(Hi, my name is hossgal (leadensky) and I'll be your tour guide for Firefly recs this month. I like a wide range of different fic styles and themes, and I'm going to try to find some good ones, all not like the others. For such a young fandom, FF has some very good fic out there, and I'm delighted to have the chance to share it with you.)

but then it's hard to go wrong with shrift. (g)

Your icon... it reminds me of a book I read a s kid. Where's your icon from?

Shrift is mighty, and all should read her stuff. *g* I'm glad you like.

I actually drew the icon. I don't have a FF icon in my lot (which I need to fix, but I'm waiting for the right one to come along), so I used one from my stash. It has kinda an oriential look with the ying/yang, so I'm claiming that it fits the FF universe.
