Love is the Harder Times by Snow (G)
Fandom: FIREFLY
Pairing: Zoe/Wash
Length: 447 words
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: Snow at AO3
Why this must be read: Post-Serenity, fandom speculation that Zoe might be pregnant abounded, and executions of that hope have produced some of the lovelier character studies of Zoe I've read. "Love is the Harder Times" is one of them.
Zoe's a good mother, and she thought very carefully before deciding to raise her daughter on Serenity. Zoe loves Nia with all her heart, but she's careful to avoid saying things like "You have your father's eyes" because first of all, Nia's eyes are brown, like Zoe's, and secondly because Zoe values Nia for reasons entirely separate from the fact that Wash is dead. Instead Zoe does things like convince Mal to visit Chang'e and show Nia the people who juggle geese.
Zoe's more than a decent shot, but she'd rather not rely on her ability to outshoot a man, not when she's cleverer than he is and it doesn't have to come to that.
