The Tyranny of Socks

And finally, another part of Blessings against the Thunder. No, really. At least it's substantial.

Blessings against the Thunder: Whitefall

SPN/FF (John/Zoe and ensembles)
R for language and violence, spoilers for Serenity, c. 4,000 words

Notes: Many thanks to rez_lo and musesfool for beta reading and to the_grynne for going far beyond what might be expected in helping me with Chinese language questions. This one's for hossgal; I hope she likes it.

Summary: In which some things are broken and some things are mended, plans are made and discarded, Kaylee and Zoe gossip and Sam and Inara have tea. There are also explosions, of various kinds.

Blackout Zone: Epilogue


( They eat out under the stars, though Mal can't help thinking that they were enough to make Serenity's galley feel crowded and noisy, and how that might make a change. In the morning he hears Inara and Zoe laughing as he climbs his ladder, and smiles all the way down the corridor. And there's John Winchester taking up space at the table, drinking his morning tea and grinning like he belongs there, like he's got nothing better to do than hang around on Serenity making women laugh. )

This is musesfool's fault (and somebody should probably try to keep track of the number of crack-addled posts that begin with those words). She had this idea for an Alias/Firefly crossover, and I kind of ran with it. No relation to that other Firefly/Alias crossover that I might get back to someday.

( untitled thing with Jack and Irina and Mal )

That's all I've got. But there should be rescuing. And Sydney and River should work together.
