Just run into the works of SpaceAnJL I haven't seen it before but some of it has been around for ages so, others may have already seen it.
Her Firefly work is excellent - Post Serenity without changing the events of the movie, which in my experience, is unusual.
An OC hires the crew to haul basic supplies from Persephone to one of the Rim moons. Warning for Jayne/OC Fluff but it builds slowly and logically so it doesn't feel like Mary-Sue.
The stories are mostly told from the crew's POV, especially Jayne's. The OC is (I think) a quiet SI, but written so well that it feels like a Whedon Character. Her only special ability appears to be in the galley - making protein taste good - but since all Whedon characters have at least one buff of awesome inbuilt, it doesn't really register.
There is a whole collection of stories in the same continuity - I suggest starting with the first/oldest Another Girl, Another Planet and moving on upwards.
The slow character development of the crew - esp. the Jayne backstory and the slow development of the 'River going after Mal but he doesn't know it' subplot is excellently done, as is Zoe dealing with Walsh's death. The Inara-Mal thread is also dealt with in a way I haven't seen before, which actually addresses why the pair never came to terms with each other in the series that makes perfect sense, but does your head in at the same time - perfect 'Jossing'.
EDIT: A day or so after posting this, I found out the Author has stopped writing in that continuity. Last update is in '07 some time, so I doubt we'll be seeing any more of it. Such a pity
I actually wound up reading the author's 'Big Bang Theory' fic (I didn't know such a thing existed) first, before noticing the Firefly - and despite having only seen about an hour of the show in bits in pieces over the years - found it good and in character (based on what I've seen of the show). It's probably completely AU/wish fulfilment but the slow Shelon/Penny development of The Paladin Protocol kept me clicking next right through to the end.
