Fic: Too Far From Heaven Or Just Close Enough - SPN/Firefly, PG-13, Cas-Centric, AU, Angst, Gen

Mar 17, 2011 00:43

It's a Supernatural/Firefly Crossover! It's Cas-centric. This is the first time I have ever done a full-on Cas POV. It made for a different writing style than I am used to, trying to capture his voice - but it flowed pretty easily, which is a good sign, I hope ( Read more... )

Damn, woman, this is just beautiful.

Oh, thank you so much, hon. This comment made me so happy - especially coming from you. beautiful is a lovely word to hear for this story. :)

Believe me, it's an accurate descriptor (and how awesome is it that the boys fit so seamlessly into Serenity's crew?!)

Thanks, bb! :)

I know - my sister and I discovered Firefly via DVD right around the time we started watching SPN - and one day my sister was all, "And then the Serenity crew met the Impala crew and..." - so by the time I started reading SPN fic, I really did expect there to be massive crossovers - it made so much sense to me!

I'm not really familiar with Firefly but damn, this is beautiful.

beautiful - I got all kinds of warm hearing that decsribe my fic - and I am thrilled to hear from someone who doesn't know Firefly saying that they loved the story. That was wonderful. Thank you.

Ooh, hey, you posted it!

As I was reading, I was mentally trying to pair the characters,and who they would take to best. I have to say, if you went in the Jayne/Cas way it would have worked!

I love crossovers. I'm glad you were inspired to post this; it was excellent.

dodger_sister March 21 2011, 02:01:37 UTC

Thank you! I did post at your request - because I am that easy!

I almost went Jayne/Cas, for a second there it looked like it was heading that way - but this story really did write itself and it ended someplace else. Which really, I was yelling at myself, "You don't have to pair everyone with Jayne - just because he is your space-husband!" lol Someday I may write a good Jayne/Cas though - it would be wicked fun. And maybe I'll be not lazy and actually post the three Firefly fics I have someday too! (guess whose POVs they are all from - guess.)

Glad you enjoyed it!

I adore this in all kinds of ways.

There needs to be more of SPN/Firefly fics out there.

dodger_sister March 21 2011, 02:03:15 UTC

I adore this in all kinds of ways.

I'm all stupid smiles right now - thank you!

Agree. Totally. :)

Thanks so much for the love.

Oh, I really liked this. First Firefly/SPN crossover I've ever read, and I'm glad that it was this one.

Just as a matter of interest -- how did they end up there? Was it a born-in-this-world story, or a switching over type of thing? Just looking for some clarification on a fabulous read. :)

Really? Awww, I feel all special - Thank You!

Just as a matter of interest -- how did they end up there?

Honestly? I don't know. I kind of had an idea in my head that maybe Castiel had them transported to the future - after the apocalypse ended, to get them away from everything that was weighing them down. Because I picture Dean and Sam from our time, but obvs not the Firefly people. But why Cas would transport them to the future of space so they could end up living out in the Black doesn't make a ton of sense - but yeah, I'm going with "transported to the future as a reward for a job well done" - huh, weird, I'd never really thought about it, but I know what I pictured and that is the only logical explanation.

Look, I just totally worked that out right here. Good question. :)
