After the events of Pitch Black, Riddick tries to return to the human race for the sake of Jack. They end up on Persephone, after parting from Imam, & board a Firefly called Serenity. A discrete ship, headed towards the outter rim, where they can disappear. Unfortunately others had a similar impression. They end up staying on the ship, as crew. (Andromeda Galaxy, Verse Cloud)
The ship in Bushwacked has more than one survivor. But Riddick isn't crazy; he's more than pleased to join the crew. Hopefully they feel the same. And since he's always got mercs on his head, who knows how long he'll get to stay. Entire story Riddick's POV, in and out of the Riddick-verse and Firefly-verse. Slow Burn romance, language & Lemons. Riverick won the poll. 53 Chapters.
The problem with being a Reader is you tend to get swept up in other people's emotions. Jayne really loves a good bar fight. He also tends to think of a fun bar fight as foreplay. Too bad he and River don't actually like each other. Riddick is looking for a ship that can be discreet. Serenity will do. And he wouldn't mind getting closer to that pretty slip of a woman pilot.
