Final Gift for frodolyn

Mar 26, 2009 19:03

Hi, frodolyn! I'm jazzfic, your backup Santa. The sled suffered a slight prang and had to wait for a tow. Let's pretend it's not March!

Title: The Great Unpredictable
Rating: G
Pairing: Wash/Zoe
Words: 1,376
Summary: It had become a yearly battle of wills, seeing which of them could outdo the other on their anniversary.

( In some ways, this was what had drawn them together in the first place. The great unpredictable, Wash liked to call it. She had to admit, he'd named it well. )

I love Wash and the great unpredictable and how Zoe knows him. How like River to take the necklace out of the shop! And I love Mal's presence too :) Great story and thank you so much for particpating in the comm!

Oh, I love this, it's so sweet and yes, unpredictable. I did not guess that they would be arrested. I love Zoe and the way she can't help loving Wash's goofiness and the way Wash is so good to his wife. Fantastic!

Thanks, I'm really pleased that you liked it!

I love it! Thanks so much Santa! What better way to celebrate Christmas than to drag it out all year! ;p

"It wasn't that she didn't want to settle down, or find a husband, or--lord forbid--fall head over bullet-grazed heels in love. It was simply that the notion on its own felt ridiculous, like a dream always one sudden blink from vanishing. What was she thinking, looking at this man and actually picturing a life growing old together, while she followed Mal out of one near escape only to leap into the fiery belly of another? It wasn't just ridiculous--it just wasn't, full stop. "

I love it so much! I think you've really touched on the reason I adore these two, and especially why I adore Zoe, she's so hard and battle weary, but at her core she's a woman and she has a certain set of needs -- one of which is just to be loved. <3

Thank you so much!!

Thank you! I hadn't written anything with Zoe and Wash for a good while, so I'm thrilled that you liked it. They're such a great duo and deserve much love, I think :)

Just you wait, it'll be December again before we know it (wow, scary thought!) :D
