Unbearably good fanfic series (four completed stories ranging in length from "two-chapter oneshot" to "novel," and an in-progress fifth story) that starts shortly after the last episode and builds an AU to an alternate and (in my opinion) better version of Serenity. Wonderfully true character voices, excellent plots, and it slowly builds to the most believably constructed River/Jayne I could possibly imagine.
Think I'm overstating its awesomeness? Lemme put it this way: I don't actually like Firefly. I tried very very hard, saw every episode and the movie twice, and there are a lot of aspects I like about it, especially most of the characters, but the show itself just makes me a little ranty. And these are still some of my favorite fics. Not just my favorite Firefly fics, my favorites from any fandom. They're just that awesome.
