When I started writing 'The Raggedy Edge', I knew that as a crossover, the story had to start with Sam and Jack meeting the Serenity crew, but I also knew I had to have at least an idea how Sam and Jack got to that point, where they were in terms of the rescue, their relationship, and their mindset. So I spent some time plotting out the time between when they made the decision to go after Daniel and when they board Serenity. One of those scenes made its way to the page as a flashback towards the end of the fic, but the others just languished in my brain until I sent 'The Raggedy Edge' off for beta and I needed something to distract me from obsessive editing and nerves. So I wrote some of them down and included them as 'Bonus Materials' for holdouttrout . With her permission, I'm sharing them here too. Ficamnesty because they are rough little snippets, and because of the discussion of certain plot threads that didn't pan out in the final draft of 'The Raggedy Edge.'

So here they are, the heavily Sam/Jack (with bonus appearance by Thor) prequel snippets that I will rate Adult just to be safe.
