We try to run, they’ll have to chase us. It’s their way. We’re holding course. We should be passing ‘em in a minute, so we’ll see what they do. If they take the ship, they’ll rape us to death, eat our flesh and sew our skins into their clothing, and if we’re very, very, lucky, they’ll do it in that order.
firefly 1x01
firefly au, because the fandom already has cowboy bebop au, so let’s bring on more space cowboys. goody’s ex-alliance, billy’s a fugitive working as a mercenary. people still mistake billy for being chinese.
so i feel sort of stupid for only realizing this now, after marinating in a western fandom for several months, but it seems really obvious in hindsight that the reavers are meant to be the space equivalent of native americans, which is... so breath-takingly joss whedon (i do not mean this in a complimentary way)
but the more important question is what the fuck does that mean for red harvest in a firefly au? there is also that weird split in reaver mythology between firefly and serenity. i doooon’t think red harvest makes much sense with the serenity explanation, but i don’t really know that the firefly explanation jives any better.
(also the interesting question of what goody and sam’s relationship would look like: seems easy at first to slot goody as alliance and sam as a browncoat, but goody’s on the winning side, now. he’s a legitimate war hero.)
