Sure doesn't read like it was troublesome to write, i enjoyed that! :)
As ever, the characters, the comradeship, Mal being eternally frustrating (or that could just be me lol!). Gautier seems an interesting character...

all in all, very nice and i look forward to MORE!:))

........
- uh, you're missing some speechmarks on the Folks like Kaylee" line.

Thanks for the compliments, and for the assist with the edit!

More is coming soon. This first part has been incubating for an embarrassingly long time, it's just the later parts that are challenging. I'm working on them, actually getting words added to the text on a daily basis, so I'm happy, that's a lot more than where I was a month ago...

With the what and the hmm?? Husband but not? Pretty dancing pictures? Something entirely unrelated that Inara has cause to be worried about? MOST curious! A few days until the next part, you said, yes? :)

Mal must be... something right now. Mad, probably. Confused. I love how he just invites himself along, in complete contradiction to his dummy routine earlier. This is going to be tense.

Honestly, I took the opportunity to reread the shuttle story before starting on this, just to get back into the flow of the series, and I'm just blown away by the quality and attention to detail. It just captures so much of the show, especially the often neglected parts about the Verse landscapes and cities. And the dialogues! So Joss-like! *g*

Also, Zoe, Kaylee and Inara totally need to spend more time doing funt hings together. They're all adorable just giggling and being silly, each in their own special way.

More!

Hehee, tense is right. The usual amount of tense, an unpleasant surprise, and then multiply that tense by a factor of Mal. Because he's so great at diffusing...no, wait. He's the opposite.

And, thanks for the shuttle story shout-out! I think I'll post a link with the earlier stories, because it has been a while *blushes and fidgets, lalala....*

The part with our three beloved ladies was fun to write, thanks!

More is coming soon :)

[gilliebeans]

Thank you! Yeah, there was no way that meeting was happening without Mal. I'll be posting more soon - you do the same, ok? Just finished reading and rereading your amazing Ch. 14. Wow!

[gilliebeans]

I'll have at least one more part posted before Friday. Er, what time on Friday?

Hehee, thanks!

You! Sneaky! I haven't been checking my LJ and this is what happens. I'm not even sure what the date is today. Now I'm going to READ the Fic!

[aliasse]

'Ifs. Maybes.' That's so heart-breaking to read, when I get so wrapped-up in your pre-series world that I almost believe that they're going to get it together. And then I remember. :(

I love the array of Mal-reactions to the capture, all of them violent of course. The whole fic was funny and interesting and enjoyable and well-written. *happy sigh*

[gilliebeans]

Thank you very much! I get wrapped up too! Getting them to the place at the first episode of the series, where they love each other so, but the distance is well-entrenched. I still remember seeing them in the very first scene, and immediately realizing "they are in love, and MISERABLE!" Totally captivating!
