This story takes place in a slightly different universe than we’ve come to know and love from Firefly and Serenity. On the outside it’s the same place- a war for independence lost, a ship of folks just trying to get by… but what if different decisions had been made? What if circumstances had been different for the crew in their formative years? What if Mal was a man of the cloth with a hidden past? Or River was a physician on the run, trying to heal her brother after he experienced untold horrors at the hands of the Alliance?

The crew is exactly the same, only they’re totally different. Some canon facts have been changed for my convenience, so if you see something you don’t agree with… my brain, my story. That said, I love constructive criticism, but I love compliments even more. Some of the stories, especially the first one will be re-imaginings of episodes, while others will be completely thought up by me

First off, none of these characters belong to me (much as I’d like them to be). They are the brainchildren of the superman that is Joss Whedon, brought to life by a group of fantastic actors. I just take them out and play with them a while. I make no money writing any of this stuff, it’s just easier than imagining it all in my head.

Serenity

The pre-dawn skies of Hera were lit as bright as day with the deadly glow of war. An Alliance skiff barraged the Independents’ position from the sky, blowing up near everything it could with blasts of blue light. Alliance soldiers were shooting at the few Independent craft still in the sky with heavy artillery, picking them off as best they could, and seekers flew through the air constantly. The Alliance may have had technology and money on their side, but the Independents were strong and willing to die to stay out from under the governments thumb. That made the current battle in Serenity Valley all the more difficult for the Alliance.

Sgt. Hoban “Wash” Washburne ran towards his platoon, trying hard to avoid bodies of the folks who he had,
