Fanfic Plots

[writerkit]

I feel like a Firefly AU where Simon was the one sent to the Academy and River was the one to rescue him should be a really, really obvious one-- you've got plenty of opportunity for hurt/comfort with Kaylee and Simon, you've got opportunities to explore what River would have been like without the psychic-torture thing, you've got opportunities to explore Simon and River's dynamic from a new angle... there are so many things you can do with this!

And yet NO ONE seems to have written it!

(I am not going to write this one-- I can't write Firefly and make the group dynamics work; the characters don't live in my head in that way.)
