Summary: Shortly after Inara joins the crew of Serenity, she has a run-in with Jayne, which makes her think about her career and her place in the crew.
NOTES: This was slightly inspired by a discussion on firefly_over_30 about the
role of Companions. Thanks for the beta go to Captain Average, the superhero
with faith in Joss Whedon. In case you don’t recognize it, the title is

Author’s Chapter Notes:
This is my entry in the Multiverse 2006 challenge, written for Buggs (aka
boofadil). I hope you like it, as it got…um…a bit out of hand. Thanks a
bunch to Merlins_sister for the British beta. Oh, and I’ve included one mildly
obscure DC comics joke here for any DCU folk who might be reading. Bonus points
if you catch it.
CONTINUITY: In DW continuity, this is before Rose. (It’s slightly AU, as one
aspect of the plot was jossed by “Rise of the Cybermen.”) In Firefly continuity,
this is somewhere near the end of the series. Read more ›
