Summary
"“How’s the meeting with the brain trust going?” an unfamiliar male voice boomed over the speaker.
“She forgot to switch off her mic,” Sarah smirked. It was funny to think of a woman as big, scary and infallible as Osman making such a simple mistake.
“They’re just such incompetent morons,” Osman lamented.
Sarah’s brow furrowed.
“We are not incompetent!” she huffed.
The man on the line chuckled a little.
“Well, I thought some coffee might help get you through it,” he said. His voice sounded closer now, as if he had moved towards the microphone.
“Ooh, thank you,” Osman replied. She sounded… Different. She didn’t sound like she was plotting to end this man’s life even a little bit, which in Lasky’s eyes, was her default disposition. "Lasky and Palmer overhear something that they shouldn't have during a conference call with Admiral Osman.

Summary
““Everything alright, Staff?” Serin asked Mal, finally allowing herself to approach him.
“I don’t know what he was playing at. He fucking knows better than this at this stage!” he spat. His hands fumbled as he tried to remove his chest plate, fingers trembling so violently he couldn’t get any purchase on the fasteners.
Serin glanced around the hangar. Dev was busy doing her post-flight checks. Phillips was happily translating his audio recordings. Vaz was either having his wounds dressed or teaching Naomi how to French kiss in the med bay. Despite this, the danger that someone could walk into the hangar at any moment was ever present. She moved closer to him anyway. “
Team Kilo-5 returns from a disastrous mission, and Sergeant Geffen is worse for wear. Osman can’t give him what he needs, but what she can offer him will have to be enough.(Written for Brown_Coat as a gift based on their amazing headcanons to thank them for joining me in Mal/Serin Rarepair Hell)

Summary
“There had been kissing, no foreplay, no nothing tonight - she had just appeared in his cabin at three am and wanted to get straight down to it, all business. He’s never seen her like this before. Sure, he’s seen her frustrated, worried, sad - all things that could be fucked out of her with a little elbow grease - but never this manic, this erratic.”
Mal is concerned when Osman doesn’t seem herself during one of her late night visits to his cabin. If he can’t get her to talk about it, at the very least he’ll try to make her feel better, the way only he can.
