If Community can have the tagline ‘Six Seasons and a Movie’, can we start a movement where we tag Firefly stuff with ‘2/3 of a Season and a Movie’?
This Life is Problematic
RSSPosts tagged with "firefly"
five firefly mass effect parallels READY GO.
1. Renegade Shepard = Malcolm Reynolds, from the wise guy antics and sassy one-liners to the proclivity for shooting things when he gets angry
2. Zaeed is Jayne. They’re the exact same freaking person, which I’ve exploited in some of my drabbles before
3. Tali/Kaylee as the young, naive, technologically inclined mechanic who refuses to see the bad in people (well, ME1 Tali anyway. She grows up a little over the course of the games, whereas Kaylee’s character arc got brutally assassinated when the show got cancelled)
4. Thane and Shepard Book, as the aloof, religiously inclined crewmember who may not personally agree with every decision that their captain makes, but have their own reasons for staying around and trying to find inner peace
5. Shadow Broker/Mr. Universe as the shadowy behind the scenes figure who somehow has every piece of information in the galaxy readily available, either through a network of informants or a network of technology
Bonus #6: The Operative/Kai Leng as the evil badass with a sword who believes wholeheartedly in his master’s goals, no matter how morally shady they may be
AU: Wash teaches his kid the basics of flying.
Wash reached out and gently removed Book’s hand from the life support venting button for at least the third time. ”Not that one, kiddo. Remember what I told you. Now what’s the first thing you do when that light turns on?”
Book threw himself back in the pilot’s chair, crossing his arms in a fit of childish pique. ”Daddy, this is BORING. I wanna play with dinosaurs. Flying is too hard, there’s too many rules.”
Wash considered this for a moment, then reached out and closed the checklist he’d been going over. ”You’re right, you know. We’re gonna start over. Only three rules this time. Is that a small enough number?” Book stared at him with narrowed eyes, then nodded. ”No cheating though. Only three rules, and they have to be easy ones, or I’m gonna go play with Mommy. SHE never asks me to remember anything.”
Wash thought for a moment. ”Ok, Rule Number One: Only turn the ship upside down in an emergency. Can you remember that one?” Book nodded, and held up one finger. ”Rule Number Two,” Wash continued. ”Don’t crash into anything. Simple enough?” Book again nodded, putting up a second finger. ”Finally, Rule Number Three: Always-” He paused, looking Book straight in the eyes.
”Pay attention, because this is the most important rule, OK? Always, always, ALWAYS keep the T-Rexes on the other side of the console from the Stegosaurus or they might get in fights, got it?” Book’s face lit up with a grin. ”I can remember those, Daddy.” Wash smiled back, ruffling Book’s hair and handing him the dinosaurs. ”Good. Now go play in Inara’s shuttle. I’ll come get you when dinner is ready.”
GoT-style Firefly posters
I’m bored and not sleepy so you should send me drabble prompts for my fandoms and I shall write them…
Yes. This is a good plan. (Fandoms in the tags, and I’ll do crossovers)
THERE IS A FUCKING FIREFLY REFERENCE IN COLD DAYS
A
FIREFLY
REFERENCE
I AM SLAIN
Commander Shepard and Captain Reynolds discuss their methods of leadership, for Driscollfaust
Shepard crossed his arms, leaning back as he sized up the other captain. ”Look, I’m just sayin’,” said Mal, “Your ship is top of the line and not falling apart every time you hit atmo. I have to be a little tougher on my engineer than you do, is all.”
“I’m not just talking about how hard you run your engineer,” replied Shepard. ”What about that mercenary thug of yours? Cobb? He’s only there because you’re paying him more than the other guys, and you hit him in the face with a wrench. That’s a good way to inspire some divided loyalties when push comes to shove.” Mal just shook his head. ”You’re military, Shepard. You say frog, and everybody jumps, because it’s been bred into them through years of training. Only one on my boat with those kind of instincts is Zoe. In my world, it isn’t as easy as just giving orders and expecting them to be obeyed. You’ve got to reach a guy like Jayne a different way.” Shepard scratched the back of his head. ”By… hitting him with a wrench?” ”Well,” said Mal, shuffling his feet awkwardly, “Yeah, sometimes. It’s an alpha male thing. Wouldn’t expect a guy like you to understand.”
A conspiratorial grin spread across Shepard’s face. ”I don’t know about wrenches, but I did punch a reporter once. Or… three times. Well, the last one was a headbutt. But the principle is the same, right?” Mal blinked twice. ”Uh… yeah. Ok. That’s sort of the same, I guess.” He took a prudent step back. Marines. It was like talking to a box of rocks. If the rocks had guns. ”Close enough.”
Kaylee & Jayne (friendship), Stuffed teddy bears and Strawberries, for Anon
“Gorramit, Kaylee, why can’t ya just buy the damn thing with your own cut?” Jayne asked, eyeing the enormous stuffed bear with unease. Something about its eyes was just downright unsettling, and he didn’t feel like aiding in any efforts to get it onto the ship.
“Jayne, I told you. I’m having to blow most of my cut on a new intake valve for the engine because the captain is too cheap to keep the boat in the air. I mean, I’d buy the bear myself, but we’d fall out of the sky, and I don’t feel like doing that. Besides, look at him! He’s adorable!” Jayne raised his eyebrow and gave Kaylee a skeptical glance. ”Adorable? What you gonna do with it once it’s all covered in engine grease and its fur ain’t soft no more?” Kaylee let out a huff at his question. ”Well, Mr. High and Mighty, I ain’t had nothing to call my own on Serenity for ages. Just because you’ve got a gun with a name that you sleep with don’t mean I have a toy of my own.”
Jayne frantically scanned the market for an alternative to the creepy bear. ”Look,” he said, pointing across the street at a colorful umbrella that was shading an elderly fruit vendor. ”I’ll buy you whatever you want from there if you just leave the bear here. That sound fair?” Kaylee’s face lit up with a smile. ”Shiny! I’m getting a box of strawberries. C’mon Jayne!” She took off, actually skipping across the street. Jayne shook his head and followed, pulling his wallet out of his back pocket. The things he did to keep that girl happy…
This means that the odds of acing the SAT by guessing are worse than the odds of every living ex-President and every member of the main cast of Firefly all being independently struck by lightning … on the same day.

Hit me upppppppp
Leave it in the ask box :D
Can I request a drabble with Kaylee and Inara just being adorable?
Kaylee rummaged around in the trunk, finally pulling out a long, orange dress. ”Ooooh, Inara,” she gasped. ”This one is gorgeous!” She held it up against her front. ”Think I could wear this around the ship?” Inara laughed. ”I think Simon’s jaw would hit the floor if you came to dinner in that, Kaylee.”
Kaylee turned from side to side, swishing the dress around her legs. ”You think? It’s too long though. Never fit me proper. I’d look ridiculous.” Inara shook her head. ”Nonsense. It just needs the hem taken up a little bit. I can get my sewing kit if you want, and we can surprise Simon at dinner tonight, if you want.” Kaylee dropped the dress and flung herself across the shuttle to give Inara a hug. ”Ok, ok,” laughed Inara. ”I’ll go get it.”
fasdkfasldkfj. Okay, this one: Jayne and Zaeed compare Vera and Jessie.
“Hell, I don’t even understand why we’re still even havin’ this conversation,” Jayne complained. ”Vera still works. Yours crapped out a while ago. End of story, grampa.”
Zaeed shook his head. ”You’re missing the goddamn point. It’s about killcount. You’ve got miles to go with that to catch up to Jessie. Experience matters, you know. And there’s nobody with more experience in death dealing than Jessie.”
Jayne just snorted. ”And all that ‘xperience is gonna do you a world of good when all your gun is good for is beating people over the head. Lunacy. Why would you even keep a gun that don’t shoot anyway?”
Zaeed just smiled. ”Sentimental reasons.”
Married couple bickering! Wash makes a solid if unsuccessful effort to wrest pants-wearing status from Zoe...
“I’m just saying, Zoe, that I’ve been in this thieving business for years now. I’ve picked up a few things along the way, and I think I’m more than capable of carrying my own weight now instead of sitting on the ship playing with dinosaurs!”
Zoe shot him a skeptical glance. ”Really, sweetie? You think you’re ready to join in and confront some of the most dangerous people in the ‘verse, just because you’ve been flying the ship for a few years?”
“Well… yeah. Yeah I do!”
“Honey, your pants aren’t even on right. They’re backwards.”
Wash glanced down at himself, and let out a sigh. ”Pass me that triceratops on the way out please. And come back safe.”
