A Story to Tell by bgoodb (Teen)
Fandom: FIREFLY
Pairing: Zoe/Wash, Simon/Kaylee
Length: ~2K words
Author on LJ: Unkown
Author Website: bgoodb at AO3
Why this must be read: Post-Serenity, the crew all has stories about Wash to tell his and Zoe's daughter. I dare you to read this without getting a case of the warm fuzzies.
"Hey, you know the rules," Mal yells after her. "No running on the ship. Unless we're getting shot at. Or there's a fire. Or if we're racing."
River doesn't say anything but Mal can feel her smile from the floor.
"You be quiet, seems like I had to run a lot because of you," Mal states. "How'd you keep her still anyways? Seems like every time I have to watch her she's a bundle of jackalopes and spark plugs."
"She asked about her dad," River explains, "so I told her."
An awkward silence wedges its way into the kitchen. The same awkward silence that seems to fall whenever the departed are mentioned.
"We're all just stories in the end," River remarks, unfolding her legs to stand up.
"I reckon we are," Mal states.
"Also," River adds while passing Mal and heading to the cockpit, "I bribed her with sweets."
