My first "Firefly" fanfiction - just a little one-shot that occurred to me. Hope you enjoy!


The war had taught Zoe two things.

She'd learned that it was stupid to get involved – if you wanted to keep fighting, you couldn't even begin to care about someone.

And she'd learned that it was always the kind ones – the ones that made you laugh – that were the first to go.

She'd miscalculated. She, who prided herself on her detachment, her intelligence, her quick thinking in the heat of battle – she had fallen in love. She had thought it was safe, now. She had been wrong.

The war had never ended.

Not really.

Not for Mal.

Not for her.


*sniff* Am I the only one that had to go, like, sit alone for a while and cry after watching "Serenity"?

Reviews / Thoughts on "Firefly"/"Serenity/anything at all much appreciated! =)
