first (and written while reading): Jayne's comment about having his virtue questioned literally made me laugh out loud. it's so, so easy to picture him saying that. major points there, as I'd imagine it's easy to get Jayne wrong. seriously. Jayne's dialogue was just so damn well done through this entire thing. granted, so was everyone's - even little touches like Kaylee saying "she weren't" instead of "she wasn't", really goes to show how well you know the series.

now that I've finished reading it, all I can really say is... wow. I've been looking forward to seeing what comes of this prompt since I first saw it, and you most definitely did not disappoint. you've got the Serenity's crew down just about perfect, and River's dialogue is excellent - it's not as easy to write someone who's not right in the head as many people think, and you got her speech patterns down very well. I like Simon's reaction to the whole thing as well - this is something that's waaaaay out of his element, and it's very clear that he feels overwhelmed. I also really like how you worked Delirium into the Serenity 'verse; while the Endless really could show up anywhere, this works much better than simply having Delirium show up out of nowhere.

there are a few bits I'd pick, minor grammar errors and the like, but they didn't get in the way of me enjoying this story. excellent work. I have friends of both series that I'll be recommending this to.

Thank you so much. This is really the first time I've tried to write Firefly beyond a couple of Inara/Kaylee drabbles and I tried really hard to get their dialog right as its so important to the characters. Jayne's a favorite of mine and I really see him as having a certain dignity, in his own way. I'm really happy you liked the story. Thanks so much for commenting and recommending it.
