Author's Note: Written for Firefly, Mal + Ma Reynolds, "I don't see why you got to leave, darlin', but I ain't stoppin' you." Kudos to whoever can spot the cross-canon reference.

Got it in one! The idea had been tickling me for some time, and then I recently read that Shawna Trpcic, the costume designer for Firefly, was the costume designer for Miracle Day. One of her jobs was revamping a lighter-weight version of a certain RAF greatcoat for the Los Angeles scenes (which still managed to have the same heft and flow to it as the original). So it was as if the universe was smiling kindly on my crazy notions.

No doubt Jack has fathered any number of kids all across the face of time and space and on any number of planets. Who knows but he stopped off on Shadow for whatever reason. Plus Mal says his family consisted of his mother and "about forty hands", with no mention of his father, so it could mean his father was some archetypal drifter who wandered onto the ranch. One of the many reasons I love the Whoniverse, you can cross it over with anything. I've yet to find a canon it couldn't somehow be combined with.
