Loser is a single-chapter Fan Fiction story by James Doyle, set in the Firefly 'verse.

WARNING: This page contains unmasked spoilers.

The story is a fairly simple narrative about Jayne Cobb being forced to watch Wash do a strip-tease after losing a bet to Wash (we're not told what the bet was. That's another story.) The act is described in clinical detail, including the musical accompaniment ("Loser" by Beck) and Jayne's tortured reactions.

Tropes used in Loser include:

• The Bet - We're not told what it is, only that Jayne loses. The story is concerned with the payoff.
• Biggus Dickus - Kaylee is quite impressed by Wash's male endowment, and Zoe cites it as one of her reasons for marrying him.
• Bound and Gagged - Actually, just bound. It was the only way they could make Jayne sit through the entire show.
• Stupid Sexy Flanders - Implied at the end, with Jayne's classic "I'll be in my bunk" line.
• You Can Leave Your Hat On - The basic premise of the story.
