Title: Not Exactly Johns
Circa: Pre-Chronicles
Characters: Tombs
NOT EXACTLY JOHNS
Going Johns, they call it in the biz.
Obsessive, hyped, nuts is what they mean.
William Johns. Good merc. Good tracker. ‘Til he went up against Riddick. Now it’s his feud with the legendary bounty that’s remembered, not the man behind it. And everyone knows how that story ended out in the ghost lanes.
Tombs hears the whispers behind his back. Going Johns, they say. Poor bastard. But he’d be happy to tell them, top-shelf whiskey burning in his throat, shit-eating grin on his face, that he’s not going Johns. That he never could.
He’s having too much damn fun.

Circa: Post-Pitch Black
Characters: Riddick, Jack, Imam and guest stars
Note: A crossover that never went very far.
MEANWHILE, BACK ON SERENITY...
The large man with the shined eyes had his knife trained on River’s throat, Zoe, her double barrel on the large man. Simon appeared to be in the midst of having a nervous breakdown and the bald girl was screaming at Zoe to stop threatening her friend.
Mal finally lost it.
“Is there anyone on this gorram ship that is not a wanted fugitive?”
Silence.
“I don’t believe I am,” Book said.
“Nor I,” Imam added.
Mal glowered at both of them. “And you two wonder why I take issue with God.”
Riddick grinned. “Man after my own heart.”
