Category: Top 5 Firefly Fanfics that gave me great love for the characters that was somewhat disappointed when I went back to watch the show.
Note: all are long, and most rated R-ish
"Horseshoe Nails" series by DyceRuns alongside the show we saw, with great character development. Eventually develops into River/Jayne, which many might not like.
Phyxius by InnieBackstories for the crew members and how they joined Serenity. Great insights into the characters, very believable.
The Blue Sun Job by guildsisterGreat caper story, novel-length, with detailed backstory on Mal and Zoe and what they went through before Serenity.
That Old Yeh Shen Story by LJCReads like an episode, with the crew doing a job and romance starting between Simon and Kaylee.
Lex Talionis by LJCThe crew get revenge on an old enemy and show how much they care about each other. Warning for violence and sexual assault.
