i love it but one question is this before of after the BDM.

Now that close was interesting. I always thought River and Simon had a better relationship with their dad than that. Don't know why I'm thinking this though. I do like the idea that Jayne had a relationship with his dad that while probably tempestuous was close enough that he defends him as his biological father as well. Nice. I also liked the approach to the prompt very much!

Amazing!

Love it!

Dang their time for killing Wash. And every time you write about Zoe moving on it just makes me mad at them again. I'm glad she's healing though. I loved River in this too--her voice seems very right.

I love it! I want more! Please keep writing!

OMG that's so good. The last part two paragraphs are just the most intense. I just love this. Jayne is well worth the exploration and this was really really well done. Thanks!

I so enjoy these! The last line was particularly poignant. Neat idea, neat setting, the description of the bazaar was very nice. And I always just love how you write Kaylee in particular. You just seem to capture her so well. Thanks for this!! It made me happy to see something from you in my inbox!!

Very nice! This interaction seemed very true to character. I really liked Mal's line about setting the rent that high--what a nice way to cover his feelings!

Ok I really rreally liked this! There was just one little thing that bugged me. When you said "Serenity is flying again" and italicized (sp?) the word 'Serenity' I thought you were reffering to Zoe. Like Mal did in the BDM when he asked Zoe "You think she'll hold together?" and she answered, "She's torn up plenty, but she'll fly true." They were speaking about Serenity but in acctuality they were talking about Zoe herself. You probably knew this and if not forgive the nerd in me. It was just kind of a dissapointment when that sentence continued, and it didn't need to. Anyway just thought I would point that out. That line would be brilliant by itself. Other than that as I said, loved it!

this is just so beautiful - River's dismay at going through her portrait so quickly - Mal's understanding, her guilt about the Maidenhead - very thoughtful and true to the characters :)

Oh, excellent!! These are really turning into little carry us forward moments. I enjoy them very much. Keep 'em coming! I like the interchange between Mal and River--it shows his sympathy and perception nicely.

I did like you said and youtubed Gina Torres singing--boy, what a voice! I really liked this a lot. I am still personally devastated by Wash's death, but I really love what you're doing with these in showing the healing process for Zoe and crew. So nice. Keep writing them!

I really enjoyed this. Poor Kaylee. Inara knew exactly what was wrong, as she always seems to. I particularly liked the making of the tea. You created a very vivid image.

Great writing... Looking forward to more. :)
