Shit, I'm having a dilemma. A Firefly fic dilemma (which I guess are better than physical ones, but anyway). So there's my story and it's almost done (like if I stayed up until like 3 I could probably pound it out, but no, sleep) and will finish tomorrow, but there's this bit that I have outlined about Simon and Kaylee, and it'd be cute and everything. But the story is a Mal-story, from mostly him (like his speech patterns and everything) and Simon and Kaylee aren't even in the same place as Mal, so that'd be so jarring, to go back there.

My other option is to finish the fic (with no Simon/Kaylee cuteness), then write a one-shot short of thing that is just their bit. Set in the midst of the fic. Sort of a companion piece. That'd work, don't you think? I even have a title! And it fits! OMG!

So I might do that... anyone have an opinion? Thought? Epiphany? All are welcome.

Also? My fic? Is 6,824 words *dances the dance of "OMG Long! (for me)"*
