lissax who asked for a fic to inspire her. Written from Serenity’s POV. October 14.
She had an excellent crew.
Captain Malcolm Reynolds was as competent as he was damaged. He knew what to do, where to go, when. He was strong willed and stood up for his beliefs and when she’d met him it had been love at first sight.
Kaylee was her very favourite, however. She had a way with her hands that was fascinating and an even more impressive ability with machines. She helped her, kept her running, nursed her back to health when she got sick. She kept her in the air.
Zoe was loyal. That’s all there was to it. She was strong, a fighter, and she was the type to go down with her ship. She had a quiet respect for her.
Jayne was blunt and crude and not the most pleasant of men, but he had his moments. He never ceased to amaze her with his antics.
River was like a little sister. She felt her pain as if it were her own. She saw all that went on between the walls, just as she did. If able, she’d like to have a conversation with River, to exchange stories. She found her intriguing.
Inara was as beautiful as she was graceful and she always made her feel comfortable with the soft silk hangings in the shuttle and the occasional scene of incense wafting in the air. Without her, she felt like her heart was missing, because Inara was just that: a piece of her heart.
Wash of course was another of her favourites. He had so much skill in his flying abilities, so much control, and yet he was gentle and he was funny as well. HI-larious, as Jayne would say. Wash was always nice to her.
Simon was smart, tidy, clean. If there was one thing she loved about him it was that. He had such a caring nature and always put others before himself. He knew when to stand up for himself too – when he settled in properly, at the very least.
Book was a hard one to categorise. He was religious and often entertained her with readings from the book he called a ‘bible’ and yet there was something mysterious about him that she couldn’t quite figure out. He knew things a preacher shouldn’t know. He always kept her guessing. He was her favourite puzzle.
Together, her nine ship mates were perfect. They squabbled and fought but in the end, in the grand scheme of things, they were loyal to each other and to her.
She’d change none of them – her family – for anything.
…well, except maybe Jayne.
