Remix recs - Firefly!
Firefly
Casting Shadows (Ghost In You Remix) by LJC
Oh, River. I love stories where River can’t quite get a handle on her feelings for Simon, for Kaylee and, especially, for Simon/Kaylee. And this story plays that out wonderfully, with River feeling what Simon and Kaylee are feeling and *wanting* what they have, what she can’t.
The Floating World (The Murphy's Law Remix) by hossgal
hossgal takes the original story (Trust by LJC) and fills in everything we don’t know, from everyone else’s perspective. Another mission gone wrong for Serenity’s crew - the how and why are fascinating and completely grow out of the characters’ personalities and beliefs. I especially love the River section, and some of the Simon stuff is just dead-on. Taken with the original, these stories about who-all each character trusts, and it rings incredibly true.
Means of Expression (Go Thy Way Remix) by Molly
I have to admit, the original story (Milk and Ash by Pearl-o) didn’t quite sell me on its central premise, but this remix/expansion of it works wonders for making the whole thing make sense, fit together in ways I hadn’t thought were possible. Zoe has a baby, and it changes everything and changes nothing at the same time. Lovely, with Molly’s usual delicate hand on the emotions and characterizations.
Time Flies You Can’t (The Da Sou Qiang Remix) by Sabine
This story is so very, very River that it hurts. It's beautifully River and how she's dealing with the Simon/Kaylee and how she tries to help Mal and help everybody and she just tries so hard to do everything right but she's all wrong and she knows it. Man, this story had me on the edge of my seat, wanting to know what River was going to do next. Utterly fantastic. The original story, Waking Hours by Molly, is also worth checking out.
