Forward is a Doorstopper-length Original Flavor Continuation Firefly fanfic written by Peptuck, the same author behind Tiberium Wars and Renegade. It is partially an alternate universe fic, as it Retcons several major character deaths in Serenity, but otherwise remains true to the ending of the movie. The story follows the crew of Serenity as they continue on, and have to struggle with the enemies they've made and new ones that appear, while the Alliance struggles to remain in control.The story is separated into episodic story arcs, to emulate the series' episodes. The fic starts off very dark, particularly with regards to River's madness and Mal's more ruthless tendencies, but lightens as the story progresses. As the series has progressed, it has gradually revealed an overarching plot relating to the Academy and the Alliance's more shadowy operations.The primary characters of the story are Mal and River (the latter of whom the author admits is his favorite character), and the story spends a great deal of time exploring both of their mindsets, pasts, and moral quandries. The story does not yet involve a non-canon pairing, though the author has confirmed that the story will have a later pairing involving River and as-yet-unnamed character.Notable also for its....unusual....take on River's mental processes.The story currently consists of nine story-arc "episodes" and five brief "interludes." In order: Unfinished Business Condor Mosaic Adrift First Interlude Silver Second Interlude Third Interlude Charity Hunt Fourth Interlude Last Man Fifth Interlude Wrath (dead)Last updated May 2013.Be forewarned that this page contains a ton of spoilers. The series has a pretty hefty amount of twists and whams.Also has a Shout Out page.Not to be confused with the webcomic of the same name by Tailsteak. | |

Beneath Notice | |
| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_101500e | comment |
Beneath Notice: In "Silver," Inara deliberately disguises River as this, at least in a high-class sort of way. Inara dresses elegantly, while Mal dresses in his usual formalwear, which he looks awkward to draw attention, while River is dressed in an outfit and makeup that is just proper enough that no one notices her next to Inara and Mal. Inducers are capable of making themselves so ordinary to others that they can walk past them without being noticed. | |

Heroic BSoD | |
| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_1439161f | comment |
Heroic BSoD: Jayne has an extremely brief one in "Business" when River takes a bullet for him. He comes out the other end very pissed off. At the end of "Hunt" River violently butchers a Hand of Blue in front of Simon, and is so ashamed at his reaction that she runs off on her own in another ship. Subverted in "Last Man" when Vera is destroyed by Konstantin. Jayne deliberately pushes it aside and soldiers through the shock, because stopping and reacting to it would get him killed. | |

| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_149f7447 | comment |
Rescue Romance: Notably subverted with River and Jayne, after they survived being tortured by Niska. The aftermath would have provided a perfect opportunity to follow up with one of these, but the author deliberately avoided doing so to develop both of their characters. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: There's a scene at the end of "Charity" showing River lying curled up in bed next to Katie. Its written like a mother holding a sleeping child, which becomes increasingly disturbing when one considers that Katie has essentially mindraped River into forcibly becoming a maternal/protector figure. Later on, when River tries to rebel against Katie and attack her. The resulting scene where Katie mentally crushes River's mind is written like a rape scene, which is entirely appropriate. | |

| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_15b2cab3 | comment |
Tempting Fate: Lampshaded repeatedly to the point where it becomes a Running Gag, with characters mentioning at least once an arc that they're going to get jinxed. Which they do. In "Charity" Mal tries to be savvy and keeps his mouth shut about how narrow their escape was. It doesn't work. | |

Anti-Magic | |
| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_18bf4326 | comment |
Anti-Magic: Blanks, who are immune to psychic powers outright, making them ideal as security guards/recovery agents for the Academy's psychics. It is implied that the Hands of Blue are Blanks, as is John Garis. The Academy also has developed some kind of anti-psionic implants that they equip their commandos with, which has a limited effect on protecting them from Inducers and River's empathic senses. | |

Bloodier and Gorier: The story is notably more violent than the series itself; all of the "episodes" tend to involve a least one large gun or melee battle against Mooks, with a hefty body count building up as the story progresses. Lampshaded a few times by both the author and the characters, with the author noting that in the first "episode" alone he probably killed more mooks than the actual series and movie put together. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Hammer .....which pops up again in "Charity." The knife of Volsky also becomes important later on, when Jayne uses it to escape and cut off Niska's fingers. A literal case in the form of the Lassiter. It was mentioned off-handedly toward the beginning of "Business," and thirty-some-odd chapters later.... The drive discharge capacitor is mentioned early in "Condor." In "Adrift," said capacitor explodes and causes most of the problems in that arc. The carpet that Kaylee wraps around herself in the intro to "Silver" turns out to be a flying carpet that Mal, Jayne, and Kaylee used to escape Dumont's mansion. The power loader in "Hunt." | |

She Cleans Up Nicely: In "Silver," River briefly masquerades as Inara's accounting assistant, which involves her having to actually wear some makeup, brush out her tangled hair, and wear a semi-businesslike outfit. The rest of the crew has a muted version of the typical response to this trope, particularly Jayne. | |

Lampshade Hanging | |
| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_2a090d00 | comment |
Lampshade Hanging: Mal's tendency toward A Simple Plan is regularly lampshaded. In the shootout in the warehouse in "Business," River tries to ram the doors to escape, but doesn't break through, to which Jayne complains "that always works in the vids." The sheer number of Mooks the crew fights at the beginning of "Business" is lampshaded with Mal commenting that "it was like someone had found a discount site on the Cortex for hired goons." While Simon is confronting the Operative at the party in "Silver", he bluntly lampshades just how overwhelmingly melodramatic the man is. At the beginning of "Mosaic", Wash confesses to "feel like [he's] only alive because of the whims of some silly god." In the first chapter of "Charity" Mal lampshades the number of references and in-jokes they're using during the voice-recording scene. This goes meta and recursive a moment later when River lampshades the lampshading. | |

He Who Fights Monsters: Colonel Lee Obrin, Mal and Zoe's former commander. Mal accuses him of being no different from the Alliance due to the way he regards River as a weapon/strategic asset instead of a person, as well as the fact that he believes they have to teach people the "correct" way to think. | |

Glass Cannon: The author's portrayal of River emphasizes this, pointing out that while being supremely agile and dangerous, one solid hit is all it takes to put River down. She gets tougher as the story progresses, but is still vulnerable to things like broken bones. | |

Missing Backblast | |
| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_2f6cbe90 | comment |
Missing Backblast: Averted. When River is on the ground and being chased by pirates in a spacecraft, the backwash from their thrusters hits her, picks her up, and slams her into a boulder, apparently breaking her legs and leaving her immobilized. | |

Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism | |
| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_372bc105 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: Quite possibly as a backswing to the Grimdark of Tiberium Wars, this story is actually fairly positive. Sure, the series starts off quite dark and brutal, but as it progresses, the crew ends up being better off, River is recovering, Zoe and Wash are expecting a child, the crew has a backup ship stashed away after killing Ott, and the series repeatedly reaffirms Mal's commitment to his True Companions and doing what he thinks is right over what is smart. | |

Batman Gambit | |
| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Batman Gambit: River and Jayne pull one when River talks Niska into executing Volsky, causing him to drop his knife, which Jayne picks up and uses to cut himself free. In the "Silver" arc, River manipulates the rest of the crew into thinking she's too traumatized to help them on the upcoming heist, which gives her an opening to carry out a private mission of her own. However, doing so results in River being seriously wracked by guilt as she prepares to run off. All of "Wrath" is a trap to get River in the same room with Ornstintz. | |

Character Development | |
| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_3b113b7 | comment |
Character Development: Significant development for Jayne, Mal, River, Book, and Zoe. Mal develops into a darker character during the Business arc, particularly when he is forced to torture and kill one of Niska's men to find out where Jayne and River were being taken. Jayne notably softens, at least with regards to River, especially after the two of them survive being tortured by Niska. However, he still regards her as insane, unstable, and somewhat untrustworthy. Book has heavy development of his past, particularly with regards to his history before converting to Christianity, along with indications of a past as an Operative, including the fact that he knows the Operative personally. River gradually matures and develops into her own as a functional person, despite her insanity, though she still remains unstable and dangerous. Zoe both softens and hardens at the same time; her maternal and caring side is shown, and is also contrasted with her cold and ruthless aspects, particularly in the later episodes. | |

Combat Pragmatist | |
| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_49fb5ccb | comment |
Combat Pragmatist: Mal puts it best when talking about the Sword Fight he had with Atherton Wing in "Shindig": Jayne kills a Hand of Blue using a bedpan and scalpel. And for the rest of the series, he keeps on fighting dirty whenever possible. Later on, Mal kills one of Ott's pirates by stabbing him in the eye with a glass shard. River is not afraid to bring a gun to a kung-fu fight. Nor are the Hands of Blue. Nor are the Reavers. Do not get into a hand-to-hand fight with Zoe. Especially if she's got a knife. In "Mosaic", Ott is running away after having barely survived tangling with Serenity's crew, and Mal calmly shoots him in the back. Its one of the coldest scenes in the story, but it fits perfectly with his character. Kaylee, of all people. Power loader! The entire crew, collectively, in "Silver". They got Womack to lay off them earlier by telling him they planted an EMP bomb on his ship, which he found offscreen. Problem is, they didn't plant one bomb. They planted three. | |

Break the Cutie | |
| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_4b316d47 | comment |
Break the Cutie: The first few chapters of the first story start off upbeat, with River indicating that while she's still not fully recovered, she's healing. Then Niska gets his hands on her. The next few story arcs have her simply trying to recover from that trauma on top of all the other issues she already suffers from. By the time "Charity" rolls around, it looks like River has mostly recovered and is becoming happy. Then Inducer One-One-Nine mindrapes her and kidnaps her, and the subsequent arc involves being brutally mindraped multiple times by said Inducer, followed by River killing a Hand of Blue in a berserk fury in front of Simon that causes a complete shame-driven Freak Out when she realizes he saw her rip the man's face apart. | |

Improvised Weapon: Countless. In "Business" Jayne uses a metal bedpan and a surgical scalpel to kill a Blue Hand. In "Mosaic" Mal uses a shard of glass to kill two of Ott's goons. In "Silver", Zoe and Book turn the mule into a giant fragmentation grenade to blow up Womack's ship. In "Last Man" young Jayne turns an entire storage shed into a bomb using propane, gasoline, mining explosives, and a lighter. During the same story arc, the rest of Serenity's crew is assembling an anti-ship missile to shoot down Konstantin's ship out of a scrapped missile drone and parts of Inara's shuttle. | |

The Atoner: Colonel Rishard Dannet, River's former combat trainer at the Academy. His guilt over working on the project grew to the point where, as he put it, "it was either retirement or suicide." When River corners him, he is perfectly willing to let her have her revenge for his participation in what happened to her. She forgives him instead, because he sees her as a person, not a tool or a weapon. | |

Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: River and Jayne. Though not romantically paired up in the story (yet), the two have developed a brother-sister dynamic that often invokes this. | |

Painting the Medium | |
| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_5009999d | comment |
Painting the Medium: "Riverthink," an...odd...way of showing River's confused mental processes. Most of the text in the story is left aligned, but the text during River's thoughts is centered, with a mixture of text changes, including bolds, italics, underlines, and capitalizations. Mixed in with a combination of non-sequiters, Cloud Cuckoolander babbling, random thoughts, and semi-coherent perceptions, it does a really good job showing River's screwy mind. In the eighth chapter of "Charity" this gets turned on its head: an Inducer grabs River's hand, and through tactile contact is able to control her mind. This is signified by the text suddenly becoming normal, left-aligned, with no embellishments and the prose being completely clear and lucid. | |

Invincible Hero | |
| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_5300b1de | comment |
Invincible Hero: Deliberately averted in River's case. The author has outright said that he dislikes stories where River is used as the "solve everything" button. As a result, while River is portrayed as one of the deadliest fighters in the setting, she is still quite vulnerable, and has actually been either defeated or suffered serious injuries in most of the fights she's been in. | |

Flashback | |
| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_53c9fc92 | comment |
Flashback: "Condor" opens with a flashback to the Unification War, and other flashbacks to the series itself are often used to highlight the importance of certain scenes. The "Fourth Interlude" makes heavy use of flashbacks, mostly in the form of dreams River has while asleep, flashing back to her childhood on Osiris or her time at the Academy. Much of "Last Man" involves a flashback to a much younger Jayne while he was being hunted by the Six Rifles. | |

Conveniently Placed Sharp Thing: In "Mosaic," when Ott's crew has captured Mal and his crew, Mal manages to escape by palming a piece of broken glass and using that to cut free. Afterward, Mal uses said glass to kill both of Ott's mooks. Also notably averted with River in the same sequence; she simply gets free by working her way out of her restraints when no one is looking. | |

Enfante Terrible: Deconstructed in the form of Inducer One-One-Nine. Since One-One-Nine is a child, she has extremely poor impulse control, which drives her to kill any Blue Sun employees she encounters, mentally associating them with the Academy. This leads directly to the Academy finding and sending the Talon mercenaries after her, and it is how both Serenity's crew and the Hands of Blue track her down later, as even when she's hiding she can't control her impulses to kill. | |

Author Appeal | |
| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_6627695f | comment |
Author Appeal: The author is a huge fan of Summer Glau. It shows; River is often one of the dominant characters, and there are several scenes where River is naked or her sexuality is explored. As the author says himself, "She's easily my favorite character, and she's such a versitale walking plot device that I can't help but play with her." Aside from the fact that this story is partially River-centric, the author's also written several T:SCC stories focusing on Cameron and Allison Young as well as a T:SCC and Mass Effect crossover involving Cameron. Another, more subtle one (only notable when one looks at the author's other works like Tiberium Wars and Renegade) is that Peptuck is a hardcore military and firearms fan, and it shows in both how often professional soldiers and mercenaries show up, and in how he describes their movements, weapons, and kit. Especially noticeable in "Last Man" where the narrative takes pains to show how both the Rifles, Konstantin's later mercenary group, and Jayne are constantly aiming down sights, checking gear, and moving around like well-trained soldiers who cover one another, call out targets, and generally behave like real soldiers. | |

Meaningful Name: The man named Nemo in the Condor arc, because there is nothing left to see. Captain Earnest Townsend, who happens to be captain of an Alliance frigate named the Hemmingway. There's also Echo, which is likely also a reference to Dollhouse. And River's callsign during a training mission at the Academy was "Alpha." Very, very clear references to Dollhouse there. River naming the sword "Laertes." The Merlin supersoldiers appear to be named after King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table. | |

Jigsaw Puzzle Plot | |
| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_715704e5 | comment |
Jigsaw Puzzle Plot: an almost infuriating number of teases and clues and hints are dropped about the Academy as the series progresses, though they've been coming in faster and faster as the plot progresses. "Charity" had a decoding file name at the top of each chapter, ostensibly as part of a file that Book was reconstructing that eventually named Inducer One-One-Nine. | |

Psychic-Assisted Suicide | |
| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_73418f96 | comment |
Psychic-Assisted Suicide: One of the villagers in the "Charity" episode was forced to commit suicide after being used as a murder weapon by an Inducer; this is one of the clues that allows Book to piece together who was really behind the events of that episode. "Hunt" opens with a particularly chilling example of this as Katie forces a Blue Sun worker to commit suicide by pushing him past the Despair Event Horizon. | |

From Bad to Worse | |
| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_7870735b | comment |
From Bad to Worse: Happens often enough that Mal gets worried when things are going smooth. Several arcs in particular stand out: "Unfinished Business": River and Jayne get kidnapped by Niska, then tortured for hours on end. Niska tries to collect the bounty on River, bringing the Hands of Blue down on their heads. Meanwhile tensions rise between the rest of Serenity's crew as Mal tortures one of Niska's mercenaries and then throws him out the airlock when he's finished. Things don't start turning around until Niska orders one of his guards to rape River, at which point Jayne sees red. And then the Hands of Blue show up. "Adrift": Everything that could possibly go wrong does so in the very first chapter. Mal gets pinned to the side of the ship by an asteroid because the winch stopped working due to an electrical surge that also wiped out power to everything on board, including the gravity generator (mercifully, the life support is still intact). Simon is in the infirmary at the time, and gets a pair of surgical scissors stuck in his chest. Kaylee's tether gets snapped and she goes tumbling out into the Black, and Jayne just barely manages to rescue her. Once they get back inside, things get even worse as Wash and Mal discover that someone is approaching: Reavers. "Charity." Hoo boy. It starts off with a murder investigation that rapidly turns into the crew fending off an army of mercenaries, which turns into a desperate escape via train. Then there's another attack by mercenaries, this time with heavily-armed gunships....and that's before The Reveal, Mal getting shot and clubbed into a coma, and River being mentally beaten into submission and kidnapped by an insane, murdering psychic. Happens in record time in "Hunt": What looks at first like it'll simply be a story about the crew going to Sirroco and rescuing River goes off the rails in part one, when the Hands of Blue arrive and Katie psychically ends the truce between the four gangs controlling the station. Happens simultaneously in both the present and the flashback in "Last Man." The Cossack has come to get revenge on Jayne in the present, while in the flashback the Six Rifles are trying to kill him as a teenager. As the story progresses, the Cossack closes in on Jayne in the present and bears down on wash, using him as a hostage to draw Jayne out. In the past, Jayne's robbery crew is killed and he is chased out of town into the wilderness, where he fights a cat-and-mouse battle against the Six while running low on ammo and getting injured more and more, culminating in getting shot in the leg and captured by the Mongol. | |

For Want of a Nail: Both Wash and Book survive because of this.

In Book's case, Word of God is that Simon got there first instead of Mal, and just barely saved Book from death. | |

Shower Scene: A couple of these. Shower of Awkward: Sort of; in "Charity" River asks Jayne to stand outside the room while she takes a shower. This is coupled with some Redemption in the Rain for River, as River has bad memories associated with showers from her time in the Academy, and is facing that trauma by forcing herself to take a shower, and has Jayne stand outside to provide her with a stable mind to latch onto. | |

By the time "Charity" rolls around, it looks like River has mostly recovered and is becoming happy. Then Inducer One-One-Nine mindrapes her and kidnaps her, and the subsequent arc involves being brutally mindraped multiple times by said Inducer, followed by River killing a Hand of Blue in a berserk fury in front of Simon that causes a complete shame-driven Freak Out when she realizes he saw her rip the man's face apart. | |

Psychic Powers: Four known "types" of psychics are revealed in the data that Book recovers in "Condor": Blanks, Kinetics, Inducers, and Empaths, the latter of which River is noted to be the strongest. From what has been hinted at so far, it appears that Kinetics are telekinetics, and Blanks are immune to psychic effects. Empaths are, well, The Empath. Inducers appear to use a form of Mind Manipulation that works on either generating or enhancing emotions and perceptions, allowing them to subtly control minds. | |

Shrug of God: The final scene of "Business," where River is shown waking up, sitting down next to an unidentified male crewmember, and thanking him for bringing her home, is left open to reader interpretation as to who she is speaking to. The scene is rendered in "Riverthink" and therefore the name of whoever it is happens to be left unclear. It could be Mal, Jayne, or possibly even Book or Wash, depending on the interpretation. The relationship between Jayne and the American. Word of God is that the clues are there, but that he doesn't want to state it outright, instead leaving the reader to figure it out on their own. | |

Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: Jayne is well aware that he is a bastard, who has done all kinds of horrible things. But even he finds rape to be an appalling evil, and goes into an Unstoppable Rage when Niska's men try to rape River. He's still shaken by the event later. | |

Anachronic Order | |
| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_8b6e8d7 | comment |
Anachronic Order: The "Silver" arc is presented out of order, with brief flashes of the Operative's slaughter of Dumont's men taking the lead in each chapter, and the prologue featuring Mal, Jayne, and Kaylee standing around stark naked at the end of the latest job. The events leading up to this are detailed in the subsequent story. | |

Wham Episode | |
| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_8e20979 | comment |
Wham Episode: "Charity." River and Jayne start going at it. There's an Inducer controlling the village, and its Katie. And then Mal's shot, suffered brutal head trauma, and now he's bleeding out. And Katie's mindraped River and now controlling her and making her walk away from the crew. "Hunt" has a less brutal but no less important one, where River, rather than being rescued, flees from the crew out of both shame and fear that she cannot control her combat programming. The last scene of "Last Man" shows River being captured by the Hands on Persephone. Chapter Four of "Wrath". There's a neural lace of atom-thing superconducting wire being assembled inside River's brain. It is not just making her more sane and powerful, but also constructing a Cortex receiver to allow for remote control of her brain by the Alliance. And then on top of that, there's the reveal that River let herself be captured. | |

Villainous Breakdown: Inducer One-One-Nine is terrified of the Hands of Blue, and it doesn't help that River likens her to the people who experimented on both of them. The Cossack in "Last Man" gradually becomes more and more unhinged as Jayne kills his team one by one, both in the present and the flashback. He eventually ends up shooting the last survivor of his team in the present when he suggests they retreat and get reinforcements. | |

"Not So Different" Remark: River accuses Inducer One-One-Nine of being no different than the Academy's agents. This causes some consternation on One-One-Nine's part. In "Condor", Mal claims Obrin is just like the Alliance— ready and willing to trample the rights of the few to make life marginally better for the many. | |

Weaponized Exhaust | |
| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_9c842299 | comment |
Weaponized Exhaust: In no fewer than three instances, someone has used the exhaust of a ship as a weapon. In "Business" Wash uses the plasma from a full burn to blind and heat up the hull of an Alliance gunship, allowing the crew a chance to open fire with their small arms and do some actual damage. It isn't until Jayne uses an armor-piercing shot that he actually penetrates the hull. In "Adrift" Wash blinds a Reaver ship with the damaged engine's exhaust, and in the "Fourth Interlude" River manages to send a pirate ship into an out of control spin by directing her ship's exhaust into the intakes of one of its engines, causing an emergency shutdown on that thruster. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Early on in "Mosiac," Mal warns Jayne to not set anything on fire. At the arc's climax, Jayne sets himself on fire. Early in "Charity," Zoe notes Simon has a vial of a drug that suppresses female sexuality, which Simon is keeping on hand because River is finally coming down off a long-term treatment by the Academy that suppresses her sexual impulses. Inducer One-One-Nine uses River's uncontrolled sexual impulses against her later to distract her. "Charity" also has the decoding file at the top of each chapter. Paying close attention to the file as it decodes would reveal a few chapters early who Inducer One-One-Nine was, especially if one notes the only character in the story thus far with a name that has seven letters with "hry" in them. "Third Interlude" has the "Mongol" make reference to "Andy's old rifle" and a man named "Konstantin" when confronting Jayne, with implications being that the Mongol is one of the six men who came to kill Jayne. In "Last Man" the, well, last man of the six ("The Cossack") has finally tracked Jayne down. | |

Override Command: Hardwired override controls are in in every Alliance ship, apparently. The codes for activating these are known only to high-ranking officials and Operatives. And a certain psychic. When the neural lace in River's brain is finished, it will allow this to be used on River, either taking control of her or killing her. | |

Canon Discontinuity: The author has stated that while most of the series canon is being used in this story, he is disregarding the "Shepherd's Tale" comic, as the background laid out in that is incompatible with the background he'd originally come up with for Book in this story. That being said, he has also stated he is willing to use elements from that comic, i.e. the interrogation scene. | |

On the other hand, Mal bluntly executes Ott by shooting him in the back. Several minor villains, i.e. Dumant, Obrin, and Bascjo are outright killed. | |

Artificial Gravity | |

Artificial Gravity: Played with in "Adrift," where the gravity is cut out and the crew are forced to move and operate without any gravity systems. This is later used as a weapon when Reavers board the ship. Mal lures them into entering through the floor hatch in Serenity's bay, and when they all rush from their gravity-equipped ship into the zero-G Serenity, they begin flying about the bay in an uncontrolled fashion. naturally, this makes them perfect targets to shoot at. | |

Oddly Named Sequel 2: Electric Boogaloo | |
| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_b18aeb20 | comment |
Oddly Named Sequel 2: Electric Boogaloo: Deliberately referenced by the author, who admits that "Business" is essentially the premise of "War Stories" with different characters and the use of the Alliance and the Hands of Blue. "Adrift" is essentially the premise of "Out of Gas" with Reavers, the Alliance, and Simon nearly dying. "Silver" is essentially the premise of "Trash," only with Lieutenant Womack, the Operative, and River's combat trainer from the Academy thrown in. | |

Sadistic Choice | |
| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_babc974 | comment |
Sadistic Choice: Dr. Rashid discovers that the Alliance implanted some sort of self-replicating nanotechnology in River's brain that is rebuilding some of the damaged connections and has been playing a significant role in what seemed to be her recovering mental state. It's also constructing a Cortex transmitter that will allow the Alliance to control her—or kill her—remotely when it's completed (in approximately eight months from the time it is discovered). River is left with a choice: Remove the implant or leave it in place. If she even survives the surgery to remove the implant (for which Dr. Rashid gives her a poor prognosis in the first place) it will undo all of River's progress towards becoming an independent and functional woman and she would revert back to the mental state she was in when Simon first rescued her from the Academy. If she leaves it in and allows the implant to be completed, the Alliance (or potentially even the Independents, who have been expressing increasing interest in turning River to their side) will be able to control or kill her if she's anywhere within range of the Cortex. At least as of the most recent chapter of Wrath, no other alternatives have been presented and without hesitation River demanded the device be removed. | |

True Companions | |
| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_c313d43a | comment |
True Companions: Deconstructed with Mal, whose devotion to his crew means that he is willing to torture and execute one of Niska's men to protect them. Also, this is the entire reason Mal shoots Ott in the back at the end of "Mosaic." Do not fuck with Mal's crew. In "Adrift," Mal makes the cold, rational decision to let a wounded Simon die rather than risk the crew's lives taking him to a nearby Alliance vessel for treatment. This does not sit well with him, however, and after some prodding from Kaylee, he relents and decides to give the crazy plan to save Simon a shot. Unfortunately, Inara, believing Mal really was going to let Simon die, went behind his back and helped Book steal a shuttle to transport Simon to the Alliance vessel. Mal is not happy, and there are some extremely tense scenes between them afterward. By the end of the arc, though, Inara and Mal manage to clear the air, with Inara pointing out that she only made the choice that she thought Mal should have been making, and that he ultimately did, and Mal reluctantly agrees. | |

Xanatos Gambit: Womack forces Mal into one of these in the "Silver" arc, with his primary goal being to placate his superiors in Allied Enforcement and keep any evidence from being traced back to himself. Either Mal goes after Dumont and destroys the evidence of the organ smuggling, or Womack arrests Mal and his crew and uses them as scapegoats. If Mal is taken down in the subsequent mission, the attack will force Dumont to flee the planet, achieving Womack's goals anyway. If Mal succeeds, he destroys all evidence of Womack's operations and Womack goes scot-free. | |

There are several smaller threads that have developed over the series as well, including Zoe's pregnancy, Ashley looking for Kaylee, Echo hunting for Serenity, and whatever the hell it is that the Operative is doing. | |

| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_d38f2bc8 | comment |
Fetal Position Rebirth: Used during the "First Interlude" while River is writing in her journal. She strips naked in her bunk, curls up in a fetal position, and writes down in her journal a personal declaration that she will no longer be a victim or tool for anyone else. For added symbolism, this happens on her eighteenth birthday. | |

What the Hell, Hero?: suffice to say, most of the crew are not happy about Mal spacing Niska's henchman. His initial decision to let Simon die rather than risk seeking medical aid from the Alliance was not very well received either. | |

Shower of Awkward | |
| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_d6c074b | comment |
Shower of Awkward: Sort of; in "Charity" River asks Jayne to stand outside the room while she takes a shower. This is coupled with some Redemption in the Rain for River, as River has bad memories associated with showers from her time in the Academy, and is facing that trauma by forcing herself to take a shower, and has Jayne stand outside to provide her with a stable mind to latch onto. | |

Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": The members of the Six Rifles generally go by their nationalities/ethnicities, i.e. "the American," or "the Cossack." The members of the group do appear to know each others' actual names, or parts of them, and the only one whose real name is entirely unknown is the Mongol. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle | |
| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_d9ffec82 | comment |
Curbstomp Battle: Ott's crew ends up on the receiving end of one of these at the hands of Serenity's crew, especially after Jayne sets himself on fire. There's also the opening scenes of each chapter of the "Silver" arc, which depict....someone....being utterly massacred by....well, someone else. At the end you learn it's Dumont's guards being slaughtered by Nemo. Second Interlude has Jubal Early having his ass handed to him on a platter by Echo. It's exactly as good as it sounds. A particularly wince-inducing one occurs in "Hunt," with a Hand of Blue facing Kaylee driving a power loader. Needless to say, the Hand loses. River against the Persephone police in "Wrath." She pounds through fully armored SWAT units unarmed without even really trying, to the point that she's shocked at how easy it is. Then she gets curbstomped in turn by Lancelot. In the same episode, River gets repeatedly curbstomped for weeks while sparring with Rashid. | |

Contrived Coincidence | |
| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_dc579c91 | comment |
Contrived Coincidence: A justified instance in Condor, when Book accidentally leads an Operative's men to Simon and Kaylee. They both happened to be in the same area, and Book was trying to hide from them before Kaylee spotted him and called his name. Less excusable is them being rescued by a squad of Alliance soldiers that happens to include Ash, Kaylee's sister. The author lampshades this in the author's notes, saying: "What a craaaazy coincidence." In "Last Man," Jayne finishes telling Sheppard Book about his encounter with the Six Rifles moments before Wash informs him the last surviving member is on Glacier looking for them. This gets lampshaded too, it's described as being "the most disturbingly ill-timed news ever." | |

Ship Tease | |
| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_dcb9c541 | comment |
Ship Tease: the author has hinted at both River/Mal and River/Jayne. It isn't helped by the fact that the author both openly ships River/Jayne and has no objections to River/Mal. The author is steadfastly neutral in the Ship-to-Ship Combat within the Firefly fandom. The the "Charity" arc has this in spades between River and Jayne. And then subverted. River and Jayne actually do start making out, but this is because Inducer One-One-Nine is apparently distracting River from noticing her by making her focus on Jayne... Except that Induced feelings don't go away. They stay. So from now on, River and Jayne are going to feel a lot of lust for one another. And also, according to Katie, Inducers can't generate emotions that aren't already there, hey can only enhance ones that already exist. "Hunt" has a small scene where River stops to look at Jayne, and he makes her feel, ahem, warm. | |

Chekhov's Gunman | |
| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_dcbe8a6e | comment |
Chekhov's Gunman: A number of minor characters either appearing or mentioned in the series make return appearances as side characters or villains. The old man that Inara speaks to at the beginning of the dance in Shindig is a major player in Condor. Colonel Obrin, mentioned in passing in "The Message," also appears in "Condor" as a contact for Mal and Zoe, and later as a villain. Ott and his crew, who were characters who appeared at the beginning of the Those Left Behind comic, are the primary villains of Mosiac. Reavers. Early on in "Silver," there are off-hand mentions of a man named Colonel Dannet, who turns out to be one of the men who worked at the Academy, and is River's target at the end of that story arc. In "Silver," there's a mention of a psychic known as Inducer One-One-Nine. Inducer One-One-Nine is apparently behind everything in "Charity." | |

Gambit Pileup: "Silver" ended up being one of these, with competing gambits from Mal, Womack, River, and the Operative. The story as a whole appears to be one of these, with conflicting background gambits between the Alliance, the Browncoats (who the Operative/Nemo appears to be working with - maybe, we're not sure yet what their angle is), and apparently the Academy and John Garis/Echo, who may actually be doing something completely counter to them (again, no idea yet what he's planning, if anything.) | |

Mama Bear: Zoe in "Charity", particularly when the mercenaries assault the chapel. Then it's called into question when Katie is outed as an Inducer, since she outright states that she was manipulating those feelings in Zoe because she wanted a mother. Of course, Inducers can't do anything with feelings that aren't already there, so she likely does have those tendencies; they were just being driven up to eleven by Katie. It also appears to have left a pretty heavy effect on Zoe after she realized what had happened. | |

Hero Killer | |
| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_e16fb8ca | comment |
Hero Killer: Deliberately invoked with the Hands of Blue. Though they haven't been able to kill anyone yet, it hasn't been from a lack of skill or effort; in fact, in both instances where they've fought River, they've handily beaten her. Of the four that have appeared in the story, one had to be hit by a sneak-attack from Mal, Jayne had to pummel another senseless with a bedpan and slit his throat with a scalpel after a drawn-out brawl, another required Kaylee to hijack a power loader to stop, and the last was only stopped when he accidentally triggered an Unstoppable Rage in River by shooting Simon. Pretty much, whenever these guys appear, it's an Oh, Crap! moment for everyone involved, and for good reason. | |

Determinator: What with Mal and Original Flavor, this one is pretty much a given. Jayne also shows shades of it, as does Book while fighting the Reavers in "Adrift." River also starts showing signs of it as the story progresses, with her drawing inspiration and determination from her experiences with Mal, Book, Jayne, and Zoe. River fully qualifies in the Fourth Interlude. Damn. Continues in Wrath, where her response to torture and the threat of torture by Ornstintz is to defiantly keep challenging him to hurt her more because she's learned how to deal with pain. And in the flashback, she spends weeks straight getting curbstomped every time she spars with Dr. Rashid until she learns how to use her combat conditioning effectively. | |

Big Damn Heroes: Considering Firefly is the Trope Namer, this should come as no surprise: In "Business," Mal popping a Hand of Blue in the skull right as he's about to shoot Jayne. Colonel Obrin actually accuses Mal of thinking he is a "big damn hero" in "Condor." Almost immediately afterward, Serenity shows up. In "Mosaic," Jayne, on fire, wielding a knife, and charging into the cargo bay. In "Adrift," first River to save the beleaguered Alliance soldiers, Simon, and Book, and then Book, when River is hit by paralytic darts. Later on, Serenity saving the shuttle from Reavers. In "Charity," Wash and Monty roaring in as the train is about to be blown up by the Talon mercenaries. In "Last Man" there's a triple whammy in the final chapter: In the flashback, the American saving Jayne from being tortured by the Mongol, and in the present, Wash saving Jayne from the Cossack by first putting his shuttle between them, and then by shooting the Cossack six times in the body armor when he boards the shuttle and is chocking out Jayne. | |

Paired with the Inducer's ability to become literally unremarkable enough that no one notices, and River never realizes she's there until the climax of the arc. | |

From what has been hinted at so far, it appears that Kinetics are telekinetics, and Blanks are immune to psychic effects. Empaths are, well, The Empath. Inducers appear to use a form of Mind Manipulation that works on either generating or enhancing emotions and perceptions, allowing them to subtly control minds. | |

Mercy Kill | |
| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_f3626b09 | comment |
Mercy Kill: Discussed in "Silver" when Mal, Jayne, and Kaylee discover Dumont's slaves. Mal and Kaylee both agree that it didn't sit right that they couldn't put those brain-dead people out of their misery, but Mal is pragmatic enough to know that they didn't have time. In "Last Man," Konstantin shooting Voronin as he lays dying from a lethal bullet wound from Jayne's ambush. | |

Running Gag | |
| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: "...the not-so-[good/fine/great] ship Serenity." Mr. Quinn cannot ever finish speaking his code phrase without being interrupted. Wash ramming things. He's rammed gunships, drones, and at one point nearly crushed Womack's ship against his hull when the latter threatened to shoot Serenity down. | |

I Call It "Vera" | |
| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_faf5732b | comment |
I Call It "Vera": River buys the electrosword that was stolen in the "Adrift" arc and names it "Laertes." Jayne names his revolver "Boo," and his oversized knife "Binky." The Trope Namer herself gets to see a lot of action as well. | |

The Dog Bites Back | |
| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_fb3576b2 | comment |
The Dog Bites Back: Lampshaded by Jayne: after he gets free from the binding Niska's men had put on him, he manages to kill all of Niska's men with a knife and then tortures Niska, pointing out that, while Niska likes to torture little girls (River) he does not seem to like when the little girl and the bear (Jayne) fight back. | |

Brick Joke | |
| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: Jayne setting himself on fire and charging with a knife to terrify his enemies in "Mosaic." Comes back with a dark echo in "Last Man" when in a flashback, it is shown that the Brit charging Jayne with a knife while on fire is one of the most terrifying things he ever experienced. | |

Shown Their Work | |
| Forward (Peptuck) (Fanfic) / int_ffad4e9f | comment |
Shown Their Work: The author goes on a short spiel about why Vera's bullets would actually work in a no-oxygen environment, and then comes up with a plausible explanation as to why Vera's bullets actually don't fire very well in a vacuum. The author put a bit of research into Arabic naming conventions, which shows in the "Fourth Interlude." | |
