Firefly Timeline :

This story takes elements from a few other fan fictions I enjoy. While my story isn't a direct sequel, of any of the following stories, but rather an AU to them. Taking a good deal of inspiration from them. The main events, of these fics, happened in my Timeline, but the details are different.

Post Unification War .

• 6 Galactic Standard Years, after the Unification War, Federation technology is more common, but not yet wide spread.

The events of my Subplot " Finding Serenity " takes place. Which focus on Riddick and Jack Badd ( From the movie Pitch Black ), joining the crew of Serenity ( From the 1999 television series "Firefly" ).

• Picard continues his investigation, and discovers the Reavers have a rare gene, that causes their body to mutate, when exposed to the Drug the Alliance used. It's only 1 in 10,000. So the Alliances didn't see the reaction in their own field test.

The Reavers are apparently incapable of reproducing, and will only live for 20 more years, in addition to their savagery, they are a parasitical race. Which will inevitably wipe out the "host", meaning all life in the Galaxy.

• The Reavers, during Picard's investigations, send thousands of ships after Picard, but his own Ship, the Enterprise, is easily able to out run them. However this causes the fleet of Reavers, to turn their eyes on a large shipping world.

• After much moral struggling, Picard destroys the Reaver fleet, leaving only the handful of ships that didn't follow the Enterprise.

• Simon is given the tasks of treating the slaves, to prove he is as good a Doctor as he claims. After which, Simon starts yelling at the ring leader, for the slaves being in such poor health. The Leader just laughs it off, and Mal is able to calm Simon down, by reminding him of all the men with guns around them.

• Simon treats the leader, while cursing him.

• When Simon and Mal are leaving, The leader offers a job for Mal to smuggle something for him, assuring the Captain it's not people. Mal accepts, but before they leave, The leader advises Mal to "Take his little brother in hand before his idealism offends the wrong person". Which Mal teases Simon about. After explaining the Man meant giving Simon a spanking.

" FireflySerenity Series " by " ficwriterjet "

• The ship goes back to the planet, and pick up Simon, who managed to cure the plague... and Simon receives his second spanking.

• Simon is mad when he learns Mal also spanked River, but River explains he can't have it both ways. If Simon likes Mal thinking of him as Family, and left River in his care, then he can't complain when Mal decides to correct her own misbehavior. Given Mal was right, if River gets in the habit of lying about her visions, then Mal can't trust any of them. Simon really doesn't like it, but concedes if he views Mal as family, that comes with some downsides.

Universe's Bank.

In my universe, Mal has progressed to the point he was paying his crew a Salary, instead of per job. Which he funds through interest he's getting on an Underworld savings account, which the Empire can't track, and run by an AI copy of Mister Universe's consciousness.

This means Mal doesn't actually have access to his millions, but gets enough in interest to pay everyone a monthly pay Check, including himself.

Most of the money, from jobs, goes into this account, where it slightly increases everyone's overall salary.

Over the past 300 years, some of the crew left the ship, to get their own. Although they always maintained contact.

Crew that left: Hilda, The Doctor, Jack Badd, and Riddick.

Below is how much Mal sends his crew, even after they moved away.

Salaries ,

• $10,000 for Public Relations = Jayne, Zoey, Riddick, The Doctor,
