[way-uncool.livejournal.com]

Title: The Captain
Author: way_uncool
Summary: AU in which Mal is a gladiator.
Rating: I'd say PG-13 or R for violence.
Characters: Mal
Pairing: Eventual Simon/Mal (in that mm-mm good slashy way)
Warning: Its a little gross in some places.
Series: Part 1 of 3, more like a prelude than a first chapter, but nevermind that now
Disclaimer: Malcolm Reynolds and Firefly and everything is property of Joss Whedon/Mutant Enemy/the whole world and his grandmother except me.
Author's Note: Fun fact to know and tell: I thought of writing this while watching Samurai Jack from Cartoon Network. Just goes to show, even when you're not with fandom, FANDOM IS WITH YOU. I'm a bit on the fence about this, I've planned two other parts but if there seems to be no interest, I'll scrap them, cuz I'm not 100% on them. So let me know what you think!
(ps if you're wondering where the slash is, Simon shows up in part 2. x-posted to the_pretty_fits)

(Say on, say on)
