I have a teenage daughter. She was very forceful about making me watch Supernatural with her. I observed one day that the Winchesters never seem to do laundry; who has ever seen them in the same shot with a washing machine? It's almost as if they have a laundry fairy! I wonder how Dean would feel about that ( Read more... )

My intent is to include chapter links in this post for each chapter in The Four Winds.

Chapter 1
...River is attacking the crew again

Chapter 2
...Mal argues with Inara, Zoe argues with Wash, and Simon is made intensely uncomfortable.

Chapter 3

If you enjoyed this Firefly adventure, I'd love to know.

( He shouldn't have said that. He knew it the second it was out of his mouth, but it was too late then to bite his tongue. )

The rest of the crew come home.

( When Mal realized he was the only person talking, and the only person not looking off in the direction of the bay doors, he broke off midsentence and followed his crew's gaze. )

Mal makes changes to his plan; River puts her plan into action; Inara decides on a plan of her own; Wash discovers something else he wasn't planning on.

( Kaylee looked uncertain about that. As well she might, Mal reflected, given that he had just proposed to commit industrial espionage under the watchful eye of the well-armed law. )

Simon gets an alias; the client makes contact with Mal; Wash learns something shocking

( There was just no way this was going to end well. Not one that Mal could see. Not when his best hope was to make it to the region of space populated by crazed cannibals as fast as possible. )
