The Legacy of Algernon

Author: Zoesbackup

A/N: I must thank GwenFrewi72 for telling me to shut up and write, as well as Bradcpu for the wonderful advice and beta'ing(you should run over and get your mind blown by all his phenomenal Firefly vids and fics at http://www.bradcpu.com;). Finally I want to thank GWEK for giving me permission to use the episode, "Property Rights" as canon for this story. (You should also go immediately over to http://www.stillflying.net; afterwards and wallow in some virtual firefly continuation of season one)

The mixed blood provided a DNA code that opened the chemical lock on the folder.

This marriage produced offspring, the like of which had previously only sprung from the imagination of a superstitious Earth-that-wa

Oh....I wonder how Jayne could be changed so much that he messes up crew familial bonds? Cuz that would take some change;)

Still...I am waiting with baited breath to see how you continue the story:)
