Serenity: Drabble

[butterfly]

Just... 100 words in reaction to the movie.

For Zoe and Wash, the best damn couple in the Jossverse. Always.

Soldier

She's a soldier.

That's what she is, that's what she knows.

And if, for a few years, she was something else as well, she must have known that it would end. That it always ends.

Good people die, and the folk left behind, well, they go on, do the best they can.

The Captain keeps on going, and she'll keep on as long as he does, his strong right arm. And those sunny dreams of beautiful children were just dreams, after all, and she'll never meet them.

She's just a soldier.

That's what she knows, that's what she is.

Nothing's changed.
