Why this must be read:Sf has been writing Firefly for a long time, since the show was on, in fact. Mostly she writes slashy fics rated much higher than 'G.' What makes this one stand out is the questions it answers. Any character that abruptly has to leave their old life behind asks themselves if they could go back to their old ways and if they had the chance would they? She answers this in a study about Simon and an undercover job.
He can't seem to stop adjusting his clothes. It's been ages since he's worn the full three-piece suit with a tie and he's finding it oddly uncomfortable. Catching a glimpse of himself in the mirror behind the desk clerk, he barely recognizes the man looking back at him. It's amazing what a bit of blond hair dye can do. The highlights Inara put in his hair make him look like a different person altogether. He removes his red-tinted sunglasses, and puts them in his pocket.
"Dr. Chang," he says arrogantly to the clerk, "I presume you have a suite ready for me?"
"I'm sorry Dr. Chang, but we're required to confirm all guests, just procedure. May I see your identification?" The clerk asks him.
Simon slips out the ident card that Jayne forged for him. It still amazes Simon that Jayne of all people can reproduce nearly flawless Alliance IDs - where did a hired gun learn a skill like that? Simon holds his breath as the clerk swipes the card through the system. When he hears the beep of confirmation, he releases it slowly.
