you NEED to finish this story...so far none of the stories I've read quite capture the subtle detail of the show like yours has. PLEASE FINISH IT...this is more of a plee than it a comand but if it helps, Joss would have wanted u to continue...

Great story and you are a great writer hope you write more.

Impressive. Most impressive. This is a book I would read, although, as a general rule, I don't read fanfic. I discovered this gem while searching for all things Firefly.

Write quickly, please. You have serious talent - enough to make me want to read more and I am *very* picky.

A great general Firefly story. Extremely well written and engaging. The character voices are oustounding.

::and thankfully NOT a rayne but river and jayne's relationship as it was meant to be, wickedly humorous and not in any manner romantic::

"Meant to be", according to who?

Rayne or not, I look forward to another update C.A.

I love seeing River's "negotiating skills" ... well done !

It just keeps getting better and better don't it? That certainly is the way things go with stories. I can't wait to see how Mal deals with having a legend. It's about to get very interesting ("define interesting?" "god, oh god we're all gonna die") isn't it?

what a great fic, I'm so glad I stumbled across it. This chapter was very good how it showed how stories can change through the grapevine.

great job! I loved the visuals of the fights, and how you showed the story changing with each telling. Very real. :) And the descriptions of the hero being so different from each side.
Can't wait for more.

Hooked from the very first line. River manipulating the guard and then casually announcing "I don't want to do dishes tonight." had me on the FLOOR, as did that priceless moment between her and Jayne and Simon. The characterization here is spot-on, and I'm intrigued by the attempts to pin the starting violence on Mal. This last chapter was a much darker style, but haunting in the repetition and the way things build. Can't wait for the next chapter.

Oh, boy. This ain't gonna be pretty, is it? The only good news in all of this is that no one's mentioned the name "Mal Reynolds" yet. Wonder how long that will last. And the poor man has no clue that he's about to be the unwitting spearhead of a brand-spanking-new War for Independence. Nope, this won't be pretty at all.

Wonderful chapter. I like the way you're ramping up the tension with the increasingly exaggerated rumors. I can just picture Mal's face when he learns what's going on...

extremely well written and thankfully NOT a rayne but river and jayne's relationship as it was meant to be, wickedly humorous and not in any manner romantic. here's hoping that it stays that way. GREAT character portrayal of river. it's hard to do crazy correctly, particularly her brand of genius coherent crazy. most people overdo it. same goes for the rest of the crew it feels like i'm watching an ep of firefly it's so accurate. the only thing that leaves a bad flavor in my mouth are the scenes of our villains planning and carrying out their 'evil' plans. i dunno it just throws me off. they seem almost comically flat and cliche compared to our heroes and just generally out of place. or maybe i just want serenity's crew all the time. anyway, marvelous writing. cheers.

An entertaining and intruiguing fic, you're voice is exactly the way it should sound in the Firefly verse. I'm interested to see where this is going, please don't stop.

OMG It just gets better and better! Worth the wait, but I'm not very patient so please update again soon.

Mal's idea to have everyone crosstrain is brilliant :) And that River wants 'Nara to train her is perfect.

Poor Mal, always trying to do the right thing and always getting kicked in the head for his trouble.

Zoe's comment about everyone dancing around her was perfectly her. I've read and written her many ways and I think you have her and all the other characters down perfectly.

Really awesome. A lot of people don't really know how to handle writing Zoe after Wash died in a way that really stays true to who she is, but you've done a great job. It also seems that you've got the other characters pretty well pinned too. Keep it up. I'd love to read some more sometime soon.

Damn it you ARE GOOD! Witty and well-written, excellent characterisation and really entertaining. Seriously, fabulous work! Just one thing (and I don't mean to be a smart **) but it's actually: "lao peng you" not lu pung yu
Apart from that, FANTASTIC!
