Butterflies are the Gentlest

by Trismegistus Shandy

The wedding was almost over when it happened. Whatever 'it' is; we're starting to figure out what but we still don't know how or why.

Life is full of "what-if's"
Does mankind truly understand anything? A grim future, and if we are lucky, a second chance? After all, isn't the future what we make of it?

Sorry for the disjointedness, this is what Mel gave me last night, glimmers of a dream, like trying to catch tears...
And sorry for any errors, my editor/proofreader snatched the pizza and went back to bed...

Marion learns about the tools of the Shepherd's trade and faces a challenge unlike any she has experienced before.

Well, finally! Expect to see these released on about a weekly schedule. Ish. I had intended to do six parts in this story arc, and I'm already up to seven and only about two-thirds through... This short part is a sort of memory-refresher, so you don't have to go back and read all the previous parts. Not that I'm stopping you...

The Instructor taking the Shepherds Training Course finds out about an unusual member of her class, and Belle discovers something unpleasant back at the Enclave.

This is a fan fiction set in the Firefly/Serenity universe created by Joss Whedon. It takes place soon after the events in the television series and the companion motion picture that followed, and is also the third part of a sequel to Firefly: Connecting Flight. This means it has SPOILERS, folks, and major ones at that. So please don't read this unless you get the chance to see the series and the movie -- and read my first Firefly story (and the first two chapters of this one), since they both set the stage.

In the third part of FIREFLY: DOUBLE BOOKED, Wash and the ladies go for a walk in the freight yard, Jayne plays guardian angel with a "dumb-ass piece of Alliance plastic" for a gun, and our intrepid pilot finally faces her fear -- with surprising results!

Site Security begins to uncover Supervisor Hirsch's schemes, but the proposed action means that Marion must leave her apartment and stay with Belle. When she arrives, she gets a shock.

With a revised uniform, Marion tries out her skills on a new Deck. She also begins to find out more about Belle.

A visit to Site Security followed by another trip to the mall. Marion discovers shoes.

Marlon receives an interesting proposition and makes some life-changing decisions, and the legal process finally grinds to completion.

Is Marlon paranoid, or is someone really out to get him? He might still be in danger as everyone tries to find out what's going on.
