rivendellrose | beta(s) needed

Wanted: Beta-readers for two separate projects.

Project number one is a pair of (related) Firefly fics for

3measures - the one I posted here a few weeks ago, which I've done some editing on but would like to have someone take another look at, and a second looking at Mal and Inara from Zoe's perspective. The latter of the two has some fairly overt sexual themes. I'm not entirely happy with it, and I'd love to have another set of eyes going over it before it goes up. 3,251 words.

Project number two is a Babylon 5 fic. A bit of Marcus, and then Lennier's perspective, set at the end of season 4 during "Rising Star." Tolerance of poetry-quoting an absolute necessity, knowledge of T.S. Eliot (specifically The Hollow Men) would be a great benefit. It's angsty (shock!) and, yes, focuses a good deal on the whole unrequited love thing. If nobody's willing to tackle this baby, I'll just toss it up to the communities, but I'd rather have at least one other pair of eyes on it before it goes out on its own. 2,636 words at the moment, not quite finished.

Also, if anybody knows what the hell Marcus' weapon is called, that'd be an immediate help. I could swear he calls it a pike, but that thing is so not what I think of as a pike. It's kind of a quarterstaff, but I know they don't call it that... Or does it have some kind of Minbari name?
