FIC: Not Your Average Hallelujah (Firefly, NC-17, Mal/Zoe)
Title: Not Your Average Hallelujah
Author: Drea (bluerosefairy)
Rating: NC-17, because both Mal and I are going to the special hell, and not only for the Mandarin/English cussing.
Fandom/Pairing: Firefly. Mal/Zoe. Mentions of Zoe/Wash. Implied Mal/Inara.
Spoilers: Serenity: the Movie. Also major ones for “War Stories”, slight for “Our Mrs. Reynolds”.
Notes: Inspired by both Leonard Cohen and Jeff Buckley’s versions of “Hallelujah”. There are a ton of people I need to thank, so bear with me. Dedicated to rowforshore, who went above and beyond the call of beta-ly duty, and still manages to compliment me while she‘s at it. Vorona, you are without a doubt, absolutely invaluable. Much thanks and love to michmak, for the help with part three, as well as the advice that “no man can resist a woman wearing his shirt”. Mich, I don't know how you do it all - I am in awe. And to swirl_girlx, who should be used to my frantic IMs of “Waah! My story’s not cooperating!” by now, and yet still manages to pull off a fantastic beta every time. Bethii, quit saying you can't write your own fiction, you silly rabbit. You three are the best.
Summary: “And love is not a victory march - it’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah”.
