I almost forgot what day it was, but then

astolat posted a new MCU story and I realized that I had a post and it had a theme even.

更多的狼 / Gèng duō de láng (More Wolves) on Serenity (2613 words) by Kass
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Firefly, Iskryne Series - Elizabeth Bear & Sarah Monette
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Wash Washburne/Zoe Washburne, Malcolm Reynolds/Simon Tam, Malcolm Reynolds/Wash Washburne, Jayne Cobb/Malcolm Reynolds, Malcolm Reynolds/River Tam

Additional Tags: Psychic Wolves, ep-related, AU, Episode: s01e01 Serenity
Summary:

"Mal, this is Simon Tam, and his wolf Yín bèi," Kaylee says. And doesn't it just figure that a rich guy would have a wolf named Silver? Mal manages not to scowl, but it's a near thing. "Simon, this is our captain, and his wolf Baozhu."

It's the Firefly pilot, only with Iskryne-style psychic wolves. It's a little sketchy as a story, to avoid the obvious non-starter of, like, novelizing the entire episode, only with wolves, but there are little details in the crossover that are really nice, like Mal being bonded to a queen wolf, because of course he is.

Summary:

Huh, was Tony's first thought when the spell broke and all of a sudden his brain came back online.

So yeah, if you like this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing you will like, as Lincoln is alleged (with, to be clear, no basis in fact) to have said. There is tropey crack. There is a cameo by Frog Thor. There is unusual male anatomy. I leave it to the reader whether these are warnings or enticements.

I'm going to see The Dark World on Monday with a friend from out of town, so still avoiding spoilers, alas. Of course, I've been doing it for so long already, it's pretty instinctive.

I happened to wind up at the gym at the exact time to catch the last twenty-five minutes of the Firefly episode "Trash" on the Science channel (which, apparently, shows science fiction, which I suppose is logical, since the SciFi/SyFy/Syphilis channel shows "reality" shows about ghosts). This made me happy, because the last twenty-five minutes of Trash contains my single favorite scene in the entire show, and then made me sad, because it reminded me that virtually nobody ships Simon/Jayne, and worse still, the vanishingly few people who do ship it incorrectly.¹

I mean, I can readily see why it's a niche pairing. People might prefer Simon and Jayne in canon pairings, such as Simon/Kaylee, Simon/River, Jayne/Vera, or Jayne/his bunk.² I can also see why there is virtually no toppy!Simon, because pretty much every main character, reoccurring character, or extra on the show would top⁴ Simon in their actual or theoretical relationship. I'm not 100% certain that Simon could top a Tupperware container.

Except. Except. He completely dominates Jayne in the scene in the infirmary at the end of Trash. Comprehensively. Effortlessly. There is no way in which Simon is not in control, from his physically paralyzing Jayne so they can have this little chat to his utterly calm assertion that no matter what Jayne does, Simon will never ever harm him, that he will be trusting Jayne and that Jayne should do likewise. I find this utterly, scorchingly hot.

And yet no one ever writes them like that. Or if they have, I have yet to find it. This makes me sad like the end of Serenity.⁵

¹Which they are entitled to do! I mean, they're completely wrong. But if they enjoy being wrong, they should feel free to do so.

²Yeah, I don't really ship Jayne with. You know. People.³

³This pairing being something of an exception, obviously.

⁴Here used in a very loose sense to indicate a whole range of behavior ranging from mild sexual assertiveness to formalized D/s regardless of sexual positions employed, if any.

⁵Yeah, I know, I should write it myself. But I'm really, really lazy!
