rascality 2008-09-23 ch 26, anon.	abuseOk, this? Totally awesome in all ways. You do wonderful, wonderful things with Firefly-verse and your prose has me all melty and happy (and has utterly distracted me from the reading I was supposed to do for my seminar tomorrow). I could understand everyone's motivations and feelings - your characterization is brilliant. You write River so well - feelings and dialog both. So much love. Also, thank you, thank you, thank you for a realistic first time. You have made my evening.
HorseLoverTW 2008-06-27 ch 26,	abuseThat was a beautiful story and equally well written. Amazing work ^^
Meggie Dodge 2008-05-25 ch 1,	abuseToo good to resist. Oh, it's not where I suppose Joss would have taken the characters--but who cares, when it's convincing enough to suspend that disbelief as well. Everyone stays in character, and the hitches and healings pace the progress nicely. Good use of the dinosaurs, too.
azarathangel 2008-04-26 ch 26,	abusethat last line always gets me... love it SO much. some amazing writing you've got here, and i know i've said it before but i'll say it again: your writing style just flows so perfectly and is so in sync with river and your metaphors and language is gorgeous. hope to see more from you soon!! -Ash
azarathangel 2008-04-21 ch 4,	abusequick as a firefly, years peeled away like apple skin, wake of his voice, his dreams like hers are full of screaming... again, simply gorgeous writing. i just love reading it.. i fear i am being a mite bit repetitive with the reviews i'm leaving, but truly your writing style is amazing and perfect for these characters and i absolutely love it!! -ash
azarathangel 2008-04-21 ch 1,	abusetold you i'd be back.. so basically the way you write river and the characters in general just has this amazing flow and feel to it that makes me feel like this is what would be written in a book if firefly/serenity was put in prose on paper. i don't know how you do it, but there's just something about it.. it just works so freaking well. it's real and i absolutely love it. this was great, and i'm off to do physics, but i'll be back!! -Ash
EnsignAbby 2008-04-21 ch 26,	abuseWow. I loved this. River's voice subtly changed through the entire story. Mal's reactions were completely realistic. Made me all tingly. Thank you!
meepscrawler 2007-11-17 ch 26,	abuseLol, I'd forgotten how good this fic was... I've read it before, but I don't know if I reviewed any.
Whyt Wulf 2007-09-14 ch 26,	abuseThis was a wonderful story. I'm especially fond of the fact that it took nearly the entire story for the two of them to get together. It's very true to how I believe Mal would have handled the situation, had Joss written something like this out. Thank you for helping me spend the last day or so enjoyably!
geekmama 2007-09-09 ch 26,	abuseReread the first and last chapters of this just now, and I am still in awe of your grasp of these characters. Not only Mal and River, who are always spot on IMHO, but the minor characters as well. They are always perfect, and enhance the story in so many ways. The drama of their shared histories is the underpinning that makes this series so exceptional, much more than just a romance. Yet, post-Serenity, they have put much tragedy behind them, and the tone of this story reflects the promise of the future that the end of the movie suggested. I love the structure of this fic, too, a series of stories that can each stand alone, but combined create the best of all justifications for a Mal/River romance. You take the time to show us why they are right for each other, and how it will work, with consideration given to every character, not just the principals. The world of Serenity, the ship, is a small one, and for relationships to shift successfully as they do here requires work on the part of all. You have a talent for saying a lot with just a few words, and the details you do add are important and are always just what is needed to set the scene. Congratulations on finishing this wonderful story. It's beautiful in every way, and, which is always the main point of fanfiction, true to the characters and backstory we love.
Goomba 2007-09-06 ch 26,	abuseI stand by my views, GREAT story, very full of life, but out of character. And I believe, in reading it through to the end that you are "young-er" and writing only by your own experiences. THAT'S NOT A BAD THING! It's all anyone can expect. However, it's more a story about a boy and a girl and their yearnings for first love, than it ever was about River, the little sister and Mal, the Captain. Keep ip up and you can only improve, study hard and it will come in time. Cheers, Job well done, Jen
Goomba 2007-09-06 ch 21,	abuseI'm having charater issues. It doesn't feel real, doens't feel Firefly. It feels very teenage, heartach, passion and drama. Not Mal and certainly not River. It's a good story and I am enjoying reading it but I am stuggling with your characterizations. Firefly has always been about the emotions, the bonds and the conflicts. You write it like the only thing that matters is touching and ... well ... eventually sex. Though that should exist it should not be the basis for a a realationship between these two. It just doesn't feel right. My thought, Cheers and good luck Jen
Goomba 2007-09-05 ch 19,	abuseBOOKMARK.
hope-passion 2007-09-03 ch 11,	abuseRiver switches to autopilot and, while she’s leaning forward, adjusts the stegosaurus, which has been disturbed from its post. “Be vigilant,” she instructs it So perfectly River made me laugh out loud, people looked :P
Lili 2007-08-20 ch 5, anon.	abuseYou write beautifully, and we can see the progression: the child becomes woman and she is getting closer to Mel. A very nice story, something that I think would have happened had this great serie been continued, although I still have hope. Thank you!
