In truth, Inara preferred to spend more of her time at her home by the waterfall or wandering the beach than cooped up in the Compound. The comforts of air conditioning and the like aside, it seemed like a waste to pass so many hours indoors when the weather and the island itself were hěn měi lì. If she were to be stuck in this place, she meant to ( Read more... )

Inara had endured six months on the island of Tabula Rasa, bearing witness to a season of snow and a day of Reavers.

He'd seen it. It really wasn't his shining moment, but it was...well ( Read more... )

When River first realized that Jayne had disappeared, her first reaction was anger. Anger at the island for taking Serenity's crew, and for making her cry over Jayne gorram Cobb yet again, which was not at all the same thing as Jayne Cobb making her cry. She didn't like either, really, but given a choice she would certainly choose big, dumb, ( Read more... )

The stage was barely recognizable as just that anymore. Practically from the very moment Geoffrey gave Isabel his permission for the Midwinter Masque to be held on the stage, a small crew of very dedicated people went into a flurry of motion and set out to decorate the stage as grandly as possible. Between The Doctor, Glinda, Evey, Angela, Isabel ( Read more... )
