Hard on the heels of my last flanfic, I'm starting another one. This is slightly more serious — no actors — and I'm setting my sights on a novel length. We'll see if I make it.

"When the Devil Drives" begins soon after the events of the movie. Things are getting tougher for smugglers to make a honest day's wage. Seems the Alliance is a mite peeved, for some reason…

An excerpt:

“Damn straight.” Jayne stuck out his leg and planted his foot on top of the counter directly in front of Simon’s face. “Got kind of a cheese-ish texture, don’t it?” Simon spun around, gasping for breath and quickly turning the same color as the offending gunk. “One of them soft, oozy cheeses, like broo,” Jayne said happily.

“That’s brie,” Simon said, coughing. He lunged at his shelves and thrust a small bottle into Jayne’s hands. “Here. Rub this between your toes, coat it on thick, leave it on. Do it every day until this runs out.”

“Instead of washing?”

“After you clean your feet. Both of them. Every day.”

Jayne scowled. “I might have to get me a second opinion on that."
