I didn't want to review just now, I started reading the series just a few hours ago and I was only forced to take a break - it was that addicting - but I just have to thank you for not writing the sexin. I have no problems with sex scenes per se, it's just that there are loads of times when they're overdone or even unnecessary, and this you perfectly understand. So thank you.

Came here by way of Autumnist's fangirl_tour LJ post, btw, when I was looking for SSHG recs, and this is my first time in the Firefly fandom. Excellent introduction, really.

LOVED the Les Miserables references :D

Just finished Miranda--I know there's another story after this but I had to write and say how much I really, REALLY enjoyed this ride. You write the cast of Firefly fantastically well, and I loved every minute of this fic. =)

Spectacular. Just spectacular! Where do I begin thanking you for fixing everything that annoyed me about The Film, and doing it in such a plausible, compelling, warm-hearted way; for taking the time to tell this story in a way that was more truthful and realistic than the "real" version? It's a strange pairing on the surface, but only there. Thank you for introducing me to it in such a rich, thoughtful, and plausible way. Incredible stuff, this. Brava!

I love this series, especially this story. So good! I've spent the better part of the day reading it, but I think I will save the last one for tomorrow. First of all, thank you for fixing the movie, because I cannot handle Wash's death. I think you do such a great job with ALL of the characters; there's not a one that seems cliched or off. You do a slow, realistic building of the relationship, so as a reader I felt I earned it as much as River and Jayne did. Really just a beautiful job. I absolutely loved it.

Whenever I picture Jayne's mother's house, I see hundreds of stuffed squirrels. I blame the story 'Brown Coat, Green Eyes' for that (it's archived here). But I love that your Jayne is so well-developed and thought-out. I'm going to be cursing every episode I watch after this, wondering why Jayne isn't doing his thing with River. You've utterly corrupted me.

Ok, this is now canon for me! I am erasing the movie from my mind & replacing it with this! {dancing with glee} This is so freaking FABULOUS! {more dancing}

Thank you so, so, SO much for writing this!

God I love your ending so much better than the movie!

Wow, great story. I loved the changes you made regarding the events of the movie. It was completely enjoyable to read.

LOL, "I told you I'd protect you." Great comeback, River!

TG

Whew! Good chapter! The dragon tattoo sounded mighty interesting. I giggled at Jayne's thoughts about River's look. I was wondering what would happen to Badger. I liked that you kinda danced around it, giving the slightest descriptions and what people thought about it.

I am *loving* this particular series of yours.
Honestly, the characters are spot on, the plot is excellent, you're not killing people off just to kill people off...
Plus, because this installment was so much longer, it meant I had a great deal more chapters to wait until the inevitable, "I don't want it to be over yet!" ending.

Oh... someone has been watching deleted scenes on their Serenity DVD... You should have included the full oaty bar commercial complete with shamed Chinese Man and a human being bursting from a mouse's body. And that string...that poem... I know that poem... I've read it before... is it spanish, french, old english... Obviously I read too much poetry but I can't place the author.

Just thought I'd let people know this is the best story on this website. i love it. well done!

Rivers talking to the stars now? hehe shes just like Drusilla now
