Why this must be read:

There are a lot of nifty crossovers at the Multiverse 2004 site, including several Firefly ones, but I chose to rec this story because it makes good use of the Firefly ensemble. [livejournal.com profile] shaye attempts to reconcile two different universes, giving intriguing hints as to the Farscape ‘verse that Chiana left behind.

    "Zombies!" she cried. "Zoe, it ain't a zombie, is it?"

    Zoe gave Kaylee a look that said 'Don't be stupid, ain't no such thing as zombies.'

    Zoe looked a little bit closer at that body, though. "You aren't a zombie, are you?"

    The body shivered a little -- it had gotten downright cold in here -- and her eyes shifted over to Zoe. Palest blue eyes Kaylee'd ever seen, and it made her skin crawl in a way that had nothing to do with the cold.

    Then the body laughed. "I'm not a zombie," she said, in a weirdly accented voice. "But I'm guessing you're humans, aren't you?"

    Kaylee looked on in wide-eyed horror. It even took Zoe a moment to recover speech.

    "Just a wild guess, but judging by that question...I have to ask. You're not?"

    The little gray...alien, she supposed...crawled out of what Kaylee now knew was a cryo-chamber. She rubbed her arms vigorously and held them out for Kaylee and Zoe to see.

    "Do I look human to you?"
