Albino Ghoul 2008-07-25 ch 1,	abuseFor surfeit of Jayne, her trust was won For surfeit of trust, Inara was won For surfeit of ‘Nara, the captain was won For surfeit of captain, the killer was won For surfeit of killers, the Alliance was won And all for the count of the man they call Jayne. The way you managed to build this complete, cohesive alt-verse with everything falling into place around the little things is just astounding to me. I won't deny that ordinarily River/Jayne is right up there with River/Simon with regard to my least favorite Firefly pairings, but your take on it (see the above doggerel) just blew me out of the water. The characters and their viewpoints were written perfectly, the plots were engaging, and your tweaking of Serenity left me with a huge grin on my face. I was deathly afraid that something was coming that would break my heart as badly as the original, but to paraphrase another truly great space traveller, "Everyone lives! How often does that happen?" What's more, they all lived without it being an iota implausible, sappy or generally bad--an achievement in and of itself. In conclusion: great story. Going to recommend it to everyone. And call The Operative Javert. Well done.
BarcaSteve 2008-07-06 ch 1, anon.	abuseI've just read the whole series and thoroughly enjoyed it. This was my first Firefly fanfic and it'll take some beating! Strong characterisation, good pacing, believable dialogue; it's a first-rate work of fic and I hope you write some more in this 'verse!
JabberwockyPie 2008-06-01 ch 18, anon.	abuseThis whole series is amazing. Awe-inspiring. This is my new canon.
deathgeonous 2008-05-24 ch 22,	abuseWow, an excalent interpertaion of the movie fit for your little verse. I loved it. Thanks for writing this, bye for now.
Rosie 2008-04-20 ch 22, anon.	abuseI read Accountable first, and loved it, and had to go back and read everything else. This series is the most amazing yet...this is what the movie should have been. I have one small complaint: "xie xie" means thank you in Mandarin, not yes. You may want to change that, because it's one of the few well-known Mandarin phrases in the world. Other than that, though, this journey was truly a gift to read. Lovely.
Paintedreality 2008-03-28 ch 22,	abuseI appreciate that I'm somewhat late in reviewing, but that won't stop me putting in my tuppence-worth of praise: Aw! That was just lovely. You got the character voices so right, each and every one of them (I particularly loved Zoe, for some reason which I can't quite put my finger on) and the relationships. Quite a fan of your characterisation of Jayne, and I loved the tidbits of Zoe/Wash. Your Crazy!River dialogue and description was very evocative, and fitted nicely with the dialogue, the overall tone of your fic and what we've seen onscreen. Your descrition was awesome, elegant as in shiny and elegant as in economical. I love the liberties you took with the plot, perfect little deviations to serve the story, and the back story for Book was just marvellous. In fact, your whole extended universe just chimed as so fitting - nigh on seamless with canon. (Also, your spelling and grammar were excellent, which always makes for a massively more pleasurable read) Is off to peruse the rest of your profile Thank you very much for a lovely read! PaintR
Nyah 2008-03-09 ch 17,	abusejust jumping back quickly because a few parts deserved some extra love. First, WASH. always lovable on screen and you've managed to keep that elusive something that makes him so endearing in so few words. The Doors, could have been sappy, could have been awful, instead fantastic. i could see that scene playing out in my head in total absence of sound- and then the big finish, breath taking.
Nyah 2008-03-09 ch 22,	abuseas did many before me, i spent entirely too much time reading this instead of doing other things but it was time well spent. i thought initially that i'd find the slow way all the relationships (esp. jayne/river) developed tedious but it was all really enjoyable and made for believable outcomes. you kept an excellence balance of character "screen time" that always had me wanting to know what was going on with someone else. my biggest critique is that a few times characters seemed to jump to conclusions (though true ones) a bit for the purpose of their being an audience to an otherwise private interaction (Inara finding out about Jayne and River's dreams comes to mind most recently). i was most impressed with the very subtle ways characters shifted. it wasn't that they were changing miraculously for one another just sort of shifting to make room. you're slow, steady alterations in point of view plus a bit of backstory and action combined quite wonderfully. thanks very much for all the time you put into an incredible story. on to the final (!) part.
shadowglove 2008-02-22 ch 22,	abuseaw! I loved this twistto the Big Dumb Movie!
shadowglove 2008-02-22 ch 5,	abuseLove this so far! Will read rest later!
HecatonchiresLM 2008-02-05 ch 22,	abuseA brilliant AU for Serenity. Incorporates your changes nicely, and doesn't let everyone off scott-free.
Ali 2008-01-16 ch 22, anon.	abuseWow, I just discovered this fic. I'm a new FF/Sereneity fan. Never watched it while it was on the tube but am into it now. This fic was just tremendous. SO much better than TBDM and I'm all about the Rayney goodness! I also loved that each and every character was so wonderfully believeble, from Wash (I'm SO glad you didn't kill him) to Javert whom I enjoyed "getting to know better" and actually liking him to Book and his secret past. The Rayneiness was so appropriate. You built it up carefully and slowly and made it all the more meaningful and not just about sex. Honestly, the only person to really "Get" River and be able to accept her just the way she is, is Jayne! Thank you for the time this must have taken. It provided so much entertainment. :)Ali
Blackdragonpi 2007-12-20 ch 1,	abuseReally cool writing style.
kkay313 2007-11-15 ch 22,	abuseI know you wrote this a while ago, but I have read this story over the past week, and i wanted to say, great job!! it was excellent. :) Jayne has always been a personal favorite, and i really liked the way you adjusted the final story. Your version was much more satisfying then the movie was. Awesome job. Thanks for putting all the work into it.
Green Owl 2007-10-31 ch 1,	abuseGorgeously textured, beautifully written. A lot of time and effort has gone into this masterpiece - Whedon should be taking notes. I swooned, I laughed, I cried, it was better than the Big Damn Movie. This is what writing SHOULD be. Thank you, so, so much for the time, the energy, the blood, the sweat, the tears, the missed real life that you sacrificed to pull this together. My favorite scene - River feeling Jayne, straightening up and saying, "Anchored." Absolutely gave me chills.
