FIC SUMMARY: “You need a ship?” The voice is a rainbow, and Rust glances up, thrown. Even after he cleared the psych station, everything here on Ariel has been muted shades of gray and brown, hard silver and white. The girl smiles at him from her lawn chair, twirling a parasol the color of her voice.

RECCER'S NOTES:

Don't ask me how this works, but it does, and it's amazing. I have no idea how big the audience for this crossover is likely to be, but I have to rec it. Rust's voice is perfect and the way his synesthesia is woven through everything - it adds so much. I love the way Rust is during his time on Serenity, and the way everything pans out. Really clever, and written with a subtle touch that works absolutely perfectly.

I loooooved it ♥ I haven't had an in-depth look for True Detective fic yet, but this certainly isn't a bad introduction to it!

I have to say that this rec paid off and then some! Mostly because I ended up reading the author's other TD fics and loving them. I don't think I would've found this author on my own so, really, thank you for pointing the way. ^_^
