writers30days. 6/6/11. Tag to Serenity BDM.
She has the urge to sit and do nothing, but any time that she does, thoughts of Wash and Book enter her mind. They were good men. Friends. Neither man was deserving of such an end. They shouldn’t have been taken.
What happened at Miranda was bad enough on its own. The loss of two of their own made it nightmare material. The situation wasn’t perfect. Nothing in the ‘verse was perfect, she had come to realise. But then, there is just plain unfair and the loss of Wash and Book is most definitely that.
She ends up pacing the length of her shuttle, her mind restless and wanting. Wanting peace. Craving the sound of Wash’s jokes and Zoe’s laughter, and missing Book’s quiet strength and companionship. In the end she settles for going to the mess and putting on some tea for those left behind.
