Good job- this was a fun read.

Thanks to a loan, I just this past week watched the entire Firefly series on DVD. This is the first fanfic that I have read for the series since then, and it is fantastic! I think that a light touch of slapstick combat, when handled correctly, makes for the best sort of combat scene in written work ... and the "group effort" in Part 4 is an excellent example of how to do it right. Thank you!

A rarity worth reviewing. So nice to have an epilogue, a dying form of properly ending a story.

Aww - that was so good!
Cat's rock! I may have mentioned that before...
I like your writing - I could really see the crew in my head as I read it.
Muchly well done! Am gonna see what else you've written :)

Ok, here goes...
1 - cats rule! (only have time to read chp 1, am assuming it is a cat... will be back to check in a day or so...)
2 - firefly rules
3 - you combine the two in an excellent way - you rule!
4 - and this could be a long shot, but when you mentioned 'Diurn Alley', is it me, or did you create that out of a certain two alley-ways in a certain wizarding fandom? hmm...

Anyhoo - loved chp 1, will return for the rest...

Great story, loved the humor. Jayne getting jumped right after teasing Wash was good. Look forward to reading more stories.

I think you should do a sequel. Have them check on Hunts and have her give the crew a kitten. Either one she had or maybe one she found.

Bravo! Funny and suspensefull with a satisfying ending. Well, all except for Kaylee not getting to keep Hunts The Night. :-D

This is really great! You kept the characters in character. ^_^ Keep at it!

Okay, this is me throwing myself at your feet and begging PLEASE finish this story! And PLEASE keep writing!! It's so rare to find good style, good plot, truly funny humor, and good characterization in one story that I will really cry if I don't get to read more from you. I was in helpless hysterics at work, especially over the image of Inara neatening up everywhere she goes, up to and including arranging rodent poo in a pleasing composition on silk.

Also Wash and Jayne screaming like girls when they're attacked by evil uber-mice. And Mal going "Okay, the mice are bad."

Specifically what I like about your humor is that you don't rely on pratfalls and insults. Instead, the wit is in the language (took the cake, the frosting, and the little birthday candles).

I'd also love to see a story on how Inara finally left the Guild, as referenced in "Promises, Promises". Just a request. *big puppy eyes*

Jen duh sh tyen tsai. Please take that as encouragement.

Crit: River's inital outburst is a possibly a little over the top, and frankly I think a relatively standard-size mouse with great big gnashy teeth eating Jayne's head would be even better (if I understand the underlying rationale behind the little imps, wee size = better covert insertion and more challenging removal). That's as harsh as I can be. Everyone's diction and tone seems right, even with Wash's non-TV-in-English utterance. I might not have suggested poop-arranging as a companion talent, but of course that sort of thing's a bit subtle for the TV audience anyway.

Excellent, storyline. As a cat person I feel that you have captured a cat perfectly.

Please keep going, would love to read more.

Your descriptions of the cat are perfect, perhaps a little more detail on its human counterparts

Awesome! I love the story so far...please continue...purdy please?

Yay for a new story from one of my favourite firefly writers. I love the idea; cats and mice. As well as all the funny stuff that can be put in there, I can see the threads of a deeper plot beginning to emerge. It's hard to keep from squealing, I'm so curious and delighted.

'True to her calling as a Companion, she’d arranged the droppings in a pleasing, symmetrical composition.' So true

Whoa! Scary Mice of Doom! Way to go! Serenity is the only ship in the 'verse that would ever have man-eating mice on the loose.

I like your story! And that's saying a lot. the charactres are very well written, the story line is nothing short of unique, and it's funny too. LOL.
