   AUTHOR: kerk_hiraeth

   FANDOM(s): Firefly; Doctor Who (2005);

   LENGTH: 100;

   CHARACTER(s): Malcolm Reynolds; Jayne Cobb; The Doctor (Matt Smith); The TARDIS & Serenity;

   'SHIP(s): none;

   SUMMARY: A big blue box with a terrible driver; a tired captain with security far too enamoured with their g--- uns...

   A/N: The Doctor is lost somewhere in those extra two years between Fish Custard and the night before Amy's wedding in The Eleventh Hour; Mal & Jayne are somewhere post-Our Mrs. Reynolds. Simples. Just a bit of light comic confusionism (sorry ;-) )...

     Mal wondered how in the ruttin' 'verse a big blue box got aboard Serenity when they was still two days off planetfall.

 

   “What you aimin' to do with Amy?”

 

   “I aims to shoot the lock off, “ Jayne growled.

 

   Then a door opened, followed by a chai neow face.

 

   “Ni how, “ the owner of the face waved and, though puzzled, ignored Mal studying Amy curiously, before giving Jayne a disapproving frown.

 

   “That's not the Amy I'm looking for.”

 

   Too míhuò to react they watched the face disappear back inside the box; itself vanishing moments afterward.

 

   “Wuh de ma,” they muttered in unison.

Myth-teries ~ 1 ~ Beira, the Scottish Queen of the Winter

 

   Trying to unclog my very rusty communication skills; so this is one of several ideas. We'll see how it goes. I'm not actually on twitter; nor, really, on facebook anymore and the finances to be able to afford to run a blog/website are somewhere in fantasy-land. 

   I've whined about not getting comments to discuss with people; kudos is fine and all, but you can bounce ideas off those. 

  Which leads to me snarking at myself in my head; well why don't you comment? 

  Anyway, before I break out the hankies let's get to this. 

  Found this on a twitter tag #FolkloreThursday and, after brief deliberation, decided to start with this one as Scotland is likely to be home for the rest of my life. Subject line comes from here :-

 This is the best image I could find; never had any luck with pinterest, so I thought it best to use
