How to come to Power in short easy steps (Mal, PG, Firefly)

Title: HOW TO COME TO POWER, IN SHORT, EASY STEPS

I did not become Captain of the Firefly for power. Nope, I took the job because I was lazy. Yep, and not even ashamed of it.

That is the one job I can have without having a weenie, pansy ass telling me what to do, when to do it and how to do it.

Okay, that wasn’t about my laziness but about the hard time I have accepting to take orders. Still, it takes the edge off receiving orders... The heck it does!

So, yes, the next pleasure out of my riff-raff life is the knowledge that I can sleep on my deck, refuse a shipment, eat out of cans and play cards with the locals.

Today, I’m testing some waters… a hidden cove, a lush girl, and no worries in sight! Yes, a bit of laziness, as I said.

Well, that’s my definition of power, individual power, lasting power; to me, anyway.

The End.

Mal always made me smile :) Good use for the prompt ;)

Thank you.

I don't believe I can write the Firefly crew very well but I really like Mal (a lot) so it's cool you liked this.

In the same vein there is another drabble with his pov here:

However, this one is probably my favorite firefly story I ever wrote: http://cordy69.livejournal.com/2461.html (a bit sad though).

Thanks for the links :) It took a bit for me to read them, but I enjoyed them. Your writing is very fluid and imaginative :)

Cool!

I am glad you enjoyed yourself with these little drabbles.

It's fun to have shorts that are easy to read and reminds us what we like about the shows in question.

Thanks for reading and commenting :)
