Oh man! That certainly would explain his ever-crochety nature. Did you invent this past, or is this somethign that has been hinted at as being part of Mal's life? Either way, it's a good fic!
The destruction of Shadow I believe was created for the Serenity roleplaying game, but it seems to have been picked up as fanon because, yeah, it does further explain the huge chip our beloved captain carries around.
The childhood sweetheart is my own further twisting of the knife. Maybe she made it off Shadow, maybe she didn't, but part of Mal knows that - much as he might have wanted to stay and have a family with her - if he had stayed, they all would have died.
She will probably be making appearances in future doodles. Mal's a tough nut to crack, so I kind of have to come at him sideways to see what's behind his armor, and she's a good vessel for that.
