Fics like Evening the Odds

"Them even numbers are just bad luck all around," Pooch always said, and boy, was he right. The trouble starts with just one passenger (even though they don't take passengers, what with the smuggling and the piracy and all)—but what's in his crate, and what are the Loser's crew going to do when the full force of MAX comes down on them, and on Jolene and on Jensen's family, back in New Springfield? This is an AU set in a Firefly-like universe, in which the Losers are Space Pirates and MAX is a huge corporation with a stranglehold grip on most of the known planets, moons and space stations—especially in the Core. MAX once meant 'Manned Automated Xenoships'—the Generation Ships that brought waves of settlers from dying Earth-that-was, so long ago no one even remembers what MAX stands for anymore; it's just something to be feared. I realize the tags look a bit grim, but there's a reasonably happy ending, definitely no major character death, and Roque and Aisha don't betray the Losers in this story.
