Fanfic - Into The Second Aether
Dec. 9th, 2011 12:27 pmTitle: Into The Second Aether
Fandom: Firefly (mixed somewhat with Michael Moorcock's multiverse)
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Set after the events of the Serenity movie. Badger has a job for Mal: to steal the Golden Orrery that is due to be presented to the King of Londonium at the U-Day celebrations. Mal is more than happy to do anything that might disrupt those wanting to celebrate unification, but his seemingly straightforward plan is disrupted when Kaylee finds some rather unusual passengers to bring on board for extra income. Serenity becomes the temporary home to three Core Worlders who have found themselves stranded on the Rim: a terraforming tycoon, his wife and an eccentric hat maker. Their presence on board raises some questions as to why Badger would want to get his hands on the Orrery, and could there really be terrible consequences for the 'Verse if a certain missing hat is not recovered? And what of the mysterious phantom ship that Rim Worlders have reported seeing sailing between the outer planets?
Other notes: This arose from me having a conversation with a friend about shiny hats, and from me having read the Doctor Who book The Coming Of The Terraphiles. It promises to be as bizarre as that book in future chapters, but I'm trying to adapt the story to fit the Firefly universe.
