A bunch of one shots featuring Chuck and Casey. Different settings, different situations, different seasons of the show, so this isn't spoiler free! Each chapter is a different one shot, lengths will vary. Fluff.
Gabriel Tam has made some bad calls at work, and as a result, offers River up as price. AU with modern themes where River is sold and kept by big time political man, Jayne Cobb. (Inspired by Disney's Beauty and the Beast)
Set after 'Safe'. The crew gets a new addition when an old family friend of Wash's/war buddy of Mal and Zoe's appears on board one day. The gang eagerly take her in as the new cook. Problem one- she's a wanted fugitive. Problem two- she's the back-up merc and becomes Jayne's new partner in crime. Please R&R. Rated T because I felt like it.
