Mal had made up his mind not long after the Battle of Serenity Valley that there was no way in the verse he'd turn back to God. God had failed him in the war and there was nothing to say he wouldn't do it again. Really, there was no point to believe in him. No point at all.
So when Sheppard Book told him to find something to believe in, anything at all, he'd been more than a little critical and doubtful.
It had taken a lot for him to find something to believe in. But now, after all of the mayhem and wreckage that had pounded them further down, he'd found it. He'd found his faith; a reason to live on and fight for the future.
His faith had been with him all along and he had been blind to it until now. It held a much more powerful and undying loyalty than that of God. It was in the people around him.
It was his family.

Forbidden Love
He pushed his mouth to hers with an urgency that only she could match, his arms on either side of her as she leaned back against the wall of his bunk. A low moan escaped her lips and he silenced it with another kiss as desperate as the first.
Visits like this were becoming ritual. She would come to him when everyone was asleep and without a word exchanged, he’d claim her as his own. These moments were the happiest of his life.
She moaned into his mouth again and he felt her hands run up and down his sides, tugging persistently at the edges of his shirt. Getting the message, he removed his hands from the wall and pulled her into his arms.
Still kissing, they made the way to his bed.
He knew it was forbidden and that nothing more could come of the precious moments they spent together, but they couldn’t help it. He was falling. Hell, he’d fallen already and was only going deeper. Forbidden or not, he was in. He was all in.
