The Morning After, One Room Over by Igeria (PG)

[rednikki.livejournal.com]

First off, I have neglected to introduce myself. I'm tafkar, and this month I'll be your guide through the world of Firefly fanfic. My tastes often run to the humorous and non-slashy, but some of my favorite tales are slash stories; all that I ask is that the author remain true to the characters. I'm starting out with a couple of short pieces written for ff_friday.

Fandom: Firefly
Pairing: Zoe/Wash, Mal/?
Author on LJ: igeria
Author Website: None listed, sadly.

Why this must be read:
There's pre-slash, and post-slash - this story, instead, might be called next-door-neighbor-of-slash. igeria nails both Wash and Zoe dead-on, with a short piece that made me laugh often, and still does, every time I read it.

"But—But—damnit Zoe, I’m the only man who gets laid on this ship!"

She sat up. "Excuse me?"

"Sure, Mal can act all Captainy," he tried to explain. "And Jayne can strut around being all… ugh. Jayne. Sex. Disgusting. —But I know! I know damnit! If there’s one thing I know it’s that I—!" He gripped his hair in frustration. "Damnit! And who could it be? You’re lying right here next to me!"

Fabulous recommendation, thank you. After reading this went straight to Igeria's LJ and read everything in her memories, a great way to start the weekend.
