Zoe says implacably, same as she did every other time he cut up a fuss or tried to get ornery. He's got some spirit to him, she'll allow, but Zoe's got the patience of a stone. Couldn't live with Mal and Jayne if she didn't. That's perfect, exactly the Zoe who was, for me, the heart of the show.

Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it, and that it captured what you like about Zoe.

Oh, Zoe. This is adorable and rather bittersweet.

And this line:

"I'm a doctor, not a mercenary."

Made me cheer.

[musesfool]

Thanks so much! And I couldn't *not* include it once I'd thought of it, though I think Simon's a touch less irascible than Dr. McCoy.

[musesfool]

Thank you! And yeah, I wish the show had gone on long enough to give us more of random characters interacting.

this is so her - calm and patient and implacable. and "i'm a doctor, not a mercenary" - heee.

[musesfool]

Thank you! I'm so glad you thought it felt like Zoe.

Great fic! I really liked the fact that it was about Zoe and Simon, since they don't get to interact very often, and I'm glad this showcases how they fit. Zoe is awesomely awesome as always and I like that she has the patience of a stone (she really, really would after being on Firefly that long).

Plus, the image of Jayne teaching Simon is pretty funny. He'd totally yell at Simon to not touch Vera no matter what. Ever.

Thanks so much! I'm so happy it worked for you. And yeah, Zoe and Simon didn't get many scenes together, so it was fun to imagine them interacting.

Plus, the image of Jayne teaching Simon is pretty funny. He'd totally yell at Simon to not touch Vera no matter what. Ever.

hee! Yes.
