This is a story I wrote quite a few years ago. I’m dusting it off now for two reasons: first, because there’s a new live-action Snow White out in theaters, and second, because I like it! It riffs on the Disney classic animated film quite a bit, but I don’t think you really have to be super familiar with that movie to get what I’m getting at here. Enjoy! “What Happened to the Huntsman?” “You are clear on what you are to do, then?” asked the Queen, as she leaned forward on her throne. “Yes, Your Majesty,” the Huntsman replied.Down the rabbit hole….

I used to re-post this annually, but I lost track of it at some point. I think it deserves being brought back, because it’s good and I like it! If FIREFLY had ever done a Very Special Christmas Episode, I think this is what it might have been like.   Take my love, take my land Take me where I cannot stand I don’t care, I’m still free You can’t take the sky from me Take me out to the black Tell them I ain’t comin’ back Burn the land and boil the sea You can’t take the sky fromDown the rabbit hole….

One hundred twenty one years ago today, President William McKinley was shot by an anarchist while visiting the World’s Fair in Buffalo, NY. Eight days later, President McKinley died of his injuries, and Vice President Theodore Roosevelt became President. Being the scene of a Presidential assassin certainly colors a city’s local lore. Years ago the Buffalo News ran an annual short fiction contest, and in 2007 the contest theme was a story surrounding the events of the assassination. This is the story I submitted. And…it won! *** Ernest Knight tried to conceal his wheezing as he pushed Hilda’s wheelchair up ontoDown the rabbit hole….

This is a bit of fanfic I wrote a few years ago, and have been reposting ever since. It’s what I imagine a Very Special Christmas episode of FIREFLY would have been like. Take my love, take my land Take me where I cannot stand I don’t care, I’m still free You can’t take the sky from me Take me out to the black Tell them I ain’t comin’ back Burn the land and boil the sea You can’t take the sky from me There’s no place I can be Since I found Serenity But you can’t take the sky fromDown the rabbit hole….

I wrote this story, a rare foray into fan-fiction, a few years ago and I’ve been reposting it on Byzantium’s Shores every year since. This year, I thought I’d bring it over here. This is what I imagine a Very Special Christmas Episode of Firefly would be like. For purposes of timeline, we’re before the Serenity movie. Take my love, take my land Take me where I cannot stand I don’t care, I’m still free You can’t take the sky from me Take me out to the black Tell them I ain’t comin’ back Burn the land and boil theDown the rabbit hole….
