That Old Yeh Shen Story by Tara O'Shea/LJC (PG-13)

Fandom: FIREFLY
Pairings: Simon/Kaylee, with Zoe/Wash and hints of Mal/Inara
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] taraljc
Author Website: LJC's Fanfiction Library

Why this must be read:
I rarely read het fics, although to me this story feels a bit more gen than shippy. The Simon/Kaylee romance isn't the point of the story; it's part of the whole, and just one more way for the reader to see how the crew of the Serenity has become a family. The job that the crew takes on adds a realistic darkness to the story that is canon. Mostly, the reason to read this story is the character development/interaction, which feels right enough to be an episode. I really miss the series, and this story helps alleviate that longing.
