Serenety's Wormhole
Wednesday, October 11, 2006

I have toyed with the idea of a crossover story for a while now, with Serenety falling into a wormhole and coming out near Moya. This takes place after both the BDM, and the Peacekeeper Wars.


CATEGORY: FICTION    TIMES READ: 2341    RATING: 9    SERIES: FIREFLY

The Reaver boat that had been dogging them was massive. Reaver ships were, generally, intended to strike fear into who or whatever they were pursuing, and this one was no different. At some distant point in the past, this boat looked like it might have been one of the huge cargo haulers the Alliance used to run between cruisers, big enough to carry ten fully equipped gunships. This was a rough description, because the ship, like it’s inhabitants, had been mutilated to near beyond recognition. Two massive harpoon pods had been built onto nacelles which had never been intended for such a vessel. The nacelles ended in ragged edges, like junk that had been hastily welded onto the superstructure. Shards of metal, some small, some bigger than the Firefly herself, stuck out of the sides, top and bottom of the ship, like a massive, insane pin-cushion, made all the more frightful by the red running lights that ran the length of her. Though the Firefly hadn’t been close enough to see, there were skeletons, or what remained of skeletons, strewn along the bow of the ship. A trail of black, oily smoke ran behind her, evidence of the reactor-core containment units which were non-existent on the ship. Reavers were well known for removing these, giving them additional speed to run their quarry down. While radiation poisoning was inevitable, Reavers weren’t known for thinking too far into the future. What the massive boat was not, however, was agile, and so far, that had kept the Firefly ahead. “Bring her around to starboard, full speed, make for that asteroid cluster,” the captain barked. “Sir, that’s an awful straight-ahead run with that thing behind us,” His mate told him. “I am well aware of that, and if you have any other ideas, really, do feel free to share,” he said sardonically. “I’m feeling quite open-minded right about now.” “Let’s make a zig-zag pattern, it’ll slow us down, but they won’t be so easy to put one of those harpoons into us.” “Give it a try,” he said, running a hand through his hair. The pilot followed instruction, flying left and right, up and down, doing her level best to make as difficult a target of her boat as possible. “Sir, assuming we make the asteroid field, then what?” the first mate asked. “You know, honestly, I really hadn’t thought that far ahead. I just know that that big monster can’t follow us in there without getting all smashed to hell and gone.” A harpoon glanced off the port bow, sending the Firefly staggering, and as the pilot got her back under control, she lost sight of the fact that she was sitting still for a little too long. The harpoon took her amidships, slicing right through the little boat, prongs extending after it’s exit. The ship was trapped. As she was hauled towards the massive structure, a cargo door opened, and massive loading arms extended outward, taking the Firefly into it’s firm grip, pulling the smaller ship into the belly of the Reaver ship. As the Reavers spun into their blood frenzy, where they were beyond speech or thought, they never heard the gunshots within the little Firefly-class. One round for the mechanic, one for the pilot, and one for the ship’s first mate. The captain waited just long enough to hear the growls and screams of the invaders to clear out his own brain-pan, depriving those things of their feast. While the rushing Reavers were disappointed by the crew being dead, they were still meat, and meat was not to be wasted. And so the Reavers feasted. When it was done, when the blood frenzy had dissipated into the numbness of Reaver existence, the Alpha Reaver told his brethren “This is not the Firefly we want. We hunt again!” And his brethren, hearing the word hunt, screamed with joy.

Uh...I am gonna go out on a limb here, nosadseven and trust that this was just a crazy opening gambit for this tale. Cuz I just got scared shiteless in thinking that you just killed off Mal, Zoe and River after getting Serenity speared and reeled in:(

Still...I really wanna know why the Reavers are after Serenity. Revenge for their comrades over Mr. Universe's moon?

Cool, good to hear. It looked like a one-shot with no "part one" or "to be continued...", and I've seen folks accidentally upload a different piece than they wrote up the summary for. But yeah, I'm considering posting some stuff, and the formatting has me scared!

I had interpreted the "This is not the Firefly we want," as a kind of sad irony.

Anyway, I'll keep an eye out for more!

OTHER FANFICS BY AUTHOR

The Final Cut (Annabelle part 3)
This is a rather dark and grim tale with the following caveats: this story includes foul language, violence, implied abuse, and very little sunshine. Don't say I didn't warn ya!
RECOMMENDATION: To understand all of this, you might want to read "Annabelle", "Reconsider Me (Annabelle part 2), and 'Verse of the Dead. The last story is under horror, it was supposed to be a little halloween fun, but it took a very dark and serious turn at the end, which came as a complete surprise to me, quite hoestly.

Anyhow, hope you all enjoy this,and, as always, feedback is always appreciated.


Reconsider Me--Annablelle Part 2
This is the morning after Annabelle. Still closer to home than I'd care to admit, but a little catharsis is good for the soul. As always, any feedback is well appreciated.

Annabelle
Here is my exploration of romantic tragedy, and a different side of some characters. not a happy story by any means, and no happy ending, so Joss can rest assured. Am I writing this story from experience? I do surely wish i could say no.

'Verse of the Dead
Just in time for halloween, here comes my ode to George A. Romero. Now, just in case the title doesn't give one an adequate idea of what's inside, there will be zombies who eat people, considerable gunplay, and problematic Reavers. I sure hope that is enough warnings. Seriously, though, I wanted to have some fun, and this got more serious as it went along, and i am actually pretty happy with the way it ended. No happy endings, so Joss would hopefully bless it, along with George. (I did try like all hell to figure out how to encompase something like the Dead Reckoning into the story, but just oculdn't figure it out!)

A River Taken Part 2--Mending The Broken Bird
here is the conclusion to River being abducted. It's more, to me, about how everybody contends with the things that have been done than anything else. I hope you all enjoy. If you didn't read "A River Taken", you probably shold to get the whole gist of it.....hope you enjoy, and please please please leave feedback, let me know how I'm doing.

Bad Salvage
here is a little fanfic crossover fun. It's lighter than the other suff I've posted, i really got the notion form a thread i read last night saying that there wasn't enough crosover fiction, so I took a couple of hours this morning to whip something up. As always, I do appreciate any feedback you can offer!

Gone Fishing
As with most of my stuff, this takes place between the message and the BDM, but a fair amount of time after "A River Taken" (I am still working on the rest of that story). As always, I appreciate anyone taking the time to leave some feedback. By the way, I started kicking this idea around quite a while before the awful tragedy in the amish schoolhouse, this is in no way an effort to take off from that terrible event.

A River Taken
here River has been snatched, thought not for the reason everyone thinks. this is a kind of a dark and nasty tale, so joss would approve, i hope, giving a little more insight into the characters, which is what i am really trying to accomplish. These are really such wonderful characters, there are so many stories to be told with them, and I hope you will all indulge me as I meander through my own vision of what further seasons would have been like. As with all of my stories, this takes place between "The message" and the BDM. Please, help me out with feedback.

A Shepherd's Past Darkly
This takes place after "The message" and before the BDM. I always was fascinated by book, and what his past life was that got him to where he was. Maybe I am way, way off the mark, but here's what I always thought Derial Book was before the Abbey.

Serenety's Wormhole
I have toyed with the idea of a crossover story for a while now, with Serenety falling into a wormhole and coming out near Moya. This takes place after both the BDM, and the Peacekeeper Wars.
