[MrRigger2]

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4099993/1/Forward - Continuation after the movie, slightly AU in that Book and Wash are alive. Highly recommended.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2857962/1/B ... Green_Eyes - While not my favorite, this is definitely one of the high points. Harry Potter is Serenity's new pilot after River freaks out one too many times.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3455176/1/In_The_Box - None of Mal's jobs ever seem to go right, but at least no one gets shot in this one.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3272960/1/Two_Gorram_Days - Captures the voice of Jayne and River extremely well. Very nice.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3286892/1/Kinship - Sequel to the above fic. Great character interaction.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3291324/1/Bank_Job - Next in the series, this one covers the events of the Firefly comic placed between Objects in Space and the Big Damn Movie.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3368240/1/Miranda - A lot longer than the previous entries in the series, this covers the events of Serenity. Highly recommended.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3833211/1/Prodigal - Last in the Horseshoe Nails series, this one is sadly incomplete, and hasn't been updated since '08. However, it's still solid writing.

Seconding Forward.

[Thozmp]

Seconding "In The Box"

[Phht]

Seconding "Browncoat, Green Eyes"

[Wittgen]

Thirding Browncoat, Green Eyes. That's one of my favorite fics.

[Zankaru Zelladonii]

I have not read any of the others yet, only just started reading fiction from this series yesterday, but I have read browncoat, green eyes. Thought it was okay until I got near the end and-

Spoiler: show

realized that it 'was' just a super!harry playing around in the firefly universe with no antagonist. He turns the parliament into his lapdogs, and cures the reavers with little trouble. The only thing that even comes close to conflict is the cult arming the super-bomb, but super!harry saves the day.

[Chuckg]

Seconding everything Dyce wrote. :)

Edit: Which would be 'Two Gorram Days', 'Kinship', 'Bank Job', 'Miranda', and 'Prodigal'.

Also, 'A Life Less Extraordinary'.

[MrRigger2]

Yeah, that was what bugged me about Browncoat, Green Eyes as well. Well put, Zankaru, I hadn't really been able to put it into words before.

MrRigger

[Wittgen]

It's a humor fic. It's not about Harry's struggle against anyone. It's about Harry and the Firefly crew having hilarious antics. Why the hell would it need an antagonist? Well, whatever floats (or in this case sinks) your boat.

[serbii]

Will third A Life Less Extraordinary

[Zankaru Zelladonii]

It's a humor fic. It's not about Harry's struggle against anyone. It's about Harry and the Firefly crew having hilarious antics. Why the hell would it need an antagonist? Well, whatever floats (or in this case sinks) your boat.

Well I went into the fic after seeing this label:

Crossover - Harry Potter & Firefly - Fiction Rated: M - English - General/Action/Adventure -......

I go into every fic expecting a serious story, unless it is mentioned somewhere that it is a crack or humor fic, which this one does not, so I am sticking with my belief it is just a mediocre story. There were some hilarious moments though, I even cried laughing at one part, we are talking about nonjon after all.

Nominating Still Flying.

It takes off from the end of season one and goes through two more seasons of what the show might have been like. Plot from the movie is worked into it.

Nominating Lost in the Woods

Star Trek (TNG) / Firefly crossover, one of the best fics I have read.

[DIT_grue]

Enthusiastically seconding Lost in the Woods, cautiously thirding all the stories by Dyce (it's been what, more than a year since I read them and I never re-read them but I think I remember them being fairly good).

[Stormseed]

Into the Black, Forever Free: Halo/Firefly

[Satori]

Rec'ing my own piece would just be bad form, so i'll rec Jedibuttercup's:

Good things come in fives has two brilliant firefly pieces. The first of which made me cry: "Five Things River Tam Wishes She Didn't Know."

Oooh, and another:

Of Kings and Hairy feet

A game of make-believe on board the Serenity.

[Random_fan]

Good things come in fives has two brilliant firefly pieces. The first of which made me cry: "Five Things River Tam Wishes She Didn't Know."

Seconding both of these.

Also the stargate fanfics there are just as good if anyone else is a fan.

[Zankaru Zelladonii]

Nominating No Good Deed, it is a sequel to Lost In the Woods.

[EdStargazer]

While not needed, I would also recommend for Miranda

[Greybane]

Seconding "Forward" and "Five Things River Tam Wishes She Didn't Know."

[Zankaru Zelladonii]

I am seconding Into the Black, good so far.

[Satori]

Seconding No Good Deed and Lost In the Woods

[Alotua]

Children of the Cobb - Jayne Cobb wh*r*d three laps around the 'verse. His nine illegitimate children showing up on Serenity don't really surprise anyone aside from him. But why are the kids on the run from the Alliance? What will they mean for the Second Unification War? AUish

Code: Select all

[url=http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2473235/1/A_Boy_Named_Sue]A Boy Named Sue[/url]

A Boy Named Sue - After OIS, Jayne's plans to get rid of the moonbrained girl ends in many an unexpected consquence. This is a miniepic to link Jayne and River yes its long, but stick with. Complete!

[Greybane]

http://www.fireflyfans.net/fulluserblue ... heAlliance

This is a series of three fics, with the last being incomplete. The first is called Kaylee's Lament, the next...you know, just check them out. Good for a few days reading, quite funny in places, and mostly canon. The first two are between the series and the BDM, the last post Miranda. Several mature bits are mentioned, so probably a high T rating if on FFnet.

[MrRigger2]

Definitely seconding. I used to have those links, but lost it when I moved to my current computer. The first two are definitely worth reading, the third depends on if you go stark raving mad over deadfics.

MrRigger

[Random_fan]

Thirding the first two, haven't read the third one.
