The Prayer That Night by Maystone (PG-13)

Fandom: FIREFLY
Pairing: none
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] maystone
Author Website: unknown
Why this must be read:

Maystone has written many wonderful Firefly pieces, but I chose this one because after reading it, the opening scene of "Serenity" has never been quite the same. Set during the last moments of the Battle of Serenity Valley, it's a view of Mal and Zoe through the eyes of someone who feels that he's a lot more mortal than the two of them are. The details, the emotions, and the perceptions are just so real, and the last few lines break my heart every time I re-read them.
