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.

~end~

Thank you.

And I came out of the theater so devastasted for Zoe. Wash gave her joy, which is something that the FF folk don't get enough of.

Yeah, Wash's death was such a huge shock to my system. This is totally my way of coping.

Well done. Very well done. *crawls off to weep*

And I might join you in the weeping. Oh, poor sweet Wash.
