Wash - the sarcastic, funny, wise cracking, hot shot pilot.

Zoe - The fierce warrior woman, veteran of the tough 'Balls and Bayonet Brigade', loyal to her Sgt, now Capt.Mal,

We know from OoG that these 2 didn't exactly hit it off.

Quote:

Zoe: Something about him bothers me.
Mal: What about him bothers you?
Zoe: I'm not sure. It's... something.
Mal: Well, your something comes up against a list of recommendations as long as my leg. Tanaka raves about this guy, Renshaw's been trying to get him on his crew for a month. And we need us a pilot.
Zoe: I understand, sir. He bothers me.

.
Clearly, that 'something' was that she was attracted to him, though she didn't know it at the time. Or , was there something else at work ? How DID we get from Zoe 'being bothered ' by Wash, to MARRYING him?

Obviously he stunned her with his strapping, he-manly body and swept her off her feet with his witty rep-ar-tay.

Yeah, right.

I think they got stinkin' drunk one night and did "it" and they like "it" so much they kept doing "it." Until one morning, they woke up on Planet Vegas, having gotten married as a lark.

I don't think there needs to be a reason. Love does that to a person. Zoe probably was attracted to him because he offers her everything she's never had, love, peace, stabilty and he's not afraid of her. Okay so the peace thing didn't really work but he's never seen war.
and Wash with her, well she's a beautiful intelegent woman, who is everything he wants to be.

With Hope because love is nothing without hope.

I figure it would be his easy-going nature and sense of humor (something she lived largely without for years), or he's hung like a mule. I could go either way.

Why Wash went for Zoe, well that's obvious enough, from a man's point of view (at least I hope its obvious)

Zoe for Wash? Um... The shirt? Maybe he proved himself to be the darn good pilot he is?

Or just plain the fact that they tend to have cross gender roles ( She's got more balls so to speak, and um... vice versa), and they have what couples wish in their mate... men to be more emotional, women to be more like.. "the guys"...

I have no idea what I am saying. Consider it as random firings of neurons within my brain mass...

I was wondering that myself. Would be interesting to get some POV's from fanfiction-land on how this came about. Surely someone has tried it by now...

He hung up the mule? But that thing has tires, and is really, REALLY heavy, so did he use a rope to......

Oh... Never mind

no, no, no. No drunken night of sex. No lark. :P It was all much more romantic than that. More along the lines of femalejayne's idea...he showed her the world wasn't all doom and gloom. It was all very romantic. so I'm a sap; sue me.


ok, so he's a stud in the sack, too, but that is *so* a footnote.

There IS fan fic about how Wash and Zoe got together, and some of it's quite wonderful.
It's somewhere on this site...unless it's been moved.
Anyone here who can point rivergirl to the fanfic?
