I love Rent too. This was so much fun to write. And I am really glad you liked it. I noticed that a lot of Browncoats were also Rentheads so it made sense to me. Thanks for saying all those nice things. I was worried about the parallels and staying canon so I'm really glad you liked it.

*much love for you*

This is really so sweet. It's funny, too -- I'd considered RENT for these two, myself. But when I thought about it, I'd casted them as Angel and Collins (Wash as Angel, Zoe as Collins). The idea that you did Mimi-Wash, Roger-Zoe is just so neat and intriguing! I really love the idea of it, and you worked it really well. Wash dropping his dinosaur? That's too adorable. And him getting stabbed at the end makes a lot of sense, too, although is sad.

Great job. :) You didn't write this for me, but I enjoyed it like you could have. RENT + Firefly. What's not to love?

OMG!!!!!!!! I have been squeeing all week because you liked my story. It honestly made my week. And then I find out you wrote the one for me!!! WOW!!!! Thanks so much for you review and I thought about the Angel/Collins pairing at first but I like writing how Wash and Zoe got together and I could imagine them being like Roger and Mimi. So thank you for your review and the fabulous story you wrote me. :D

Awww! I'm so glad that I made your week by reading and enjoying your fic. It really was a lot of fun though! Rent and Firefly! You gotta love it. :D I really do think that Roger and Mimi as Zoe and Wash is really clever and original, so major props to you! And, of course, you're very welcome for the story I wrote you. :) Now we must go archive our stories on www.flower-and-leaf.com :D
