Has anyone seen any post-BDM fic around based on the concept in the following quote? Because, seriously. *wants*
HARKEN
You can't imagine how many times men in
my position hear that excuse. "Reavers
did it."
MAL
It's the truth.
HARKEN
You saw them, did you?
MAL
Wouldn't be sitting here talking to
you if I had.
HARKEN
No, of course not.
MAL
But I'll tell you who did. That poor bastard
you took off my ship. He looked right into
the face of it. Was made to stare.
HARKEN
"It"?
MAL
The darkness. Kind of darkness you can't
even imagine. Blacker than the space it
moves through.
HARKEN
Very poetic.
MAL
They made him watch. He probably tried to
turn away, and they wouldn't let him. You
call him a survivor? He's not. A man comes
up against that kind of will, the only way
to deal with it, I suspect, is to become it.
He's following the only course left to him.
First, he'll try to make himself look like
one. Cut on himself, desecrate his flesh
and then, he'll start acting like one.
