[irradiatedsoup]

PS. This was super.

[angstslashhope]

whee! glad you... er, liked it.

[danachan]

I. Oh. Wow.

... *crying*

I'm sorry, but that's all I can give.

[angstslashhope]

*petpet*

thankyou, sweetheart.

Okay I have been waiting to read a sequel to Bower ever since I read it, and I am so glad that you have written one. Its really good though i think i need to re read it a few times because I am not understanding. Is Jayne, River and Simon dead? Or do they just not care to return to Serenity? And did Simon and Jayne become lovers?

Really good and really kinda creepy in its way. Great job, even if I am too dense to get it. :)

[angstslashhope]

it is very much open to interpretation, dear reader :D

thankyou very much for the feedback - i'm glad you enjoyed it!

What? OMG.

I like how this is from Kaylee's POV. It makes it all that more poignant or something. And I enjoy that you don't give full details about what exactly happened. Oh. And this is kind of 'OMG, how will we survive, apocalypse-y' fic, isn't it? YAY!

I love the image of Jayne and Simon at the end there. And also this notion that they're all lean, kind of on the edge, nutrition-wise, probably.

wonders if Mal's cracked lip come from thirst, too, or something else

Yes.

The silence of this (in terms of voices) is gorgeous.

[angstslashhope]

What? OMG.

*giggle* this addressed at anything in particular?

and yeah, i guess it's kind of an apocalypty fic.

And also this notion that they're all lean, kind of on the edge, nutrition-wise, probably.

yeah, i have been thinking about this a-universe for a while, and it strikes me that they'd soon all be levelled out in terms of health - all eating the same things, doing the same things... there's no bench press out there for jayne, and i doubt river would consent to being his barbell.

thankyou for the feedback... i'm glad it worked. i finished writing it at about 4am, so i wasn't sure, heh.

*giggle* this addressed at anything in particular?

The fact that I'm insane?
Actually, no, it was more like my reaction to the ending. I was all expecting something nice and happy and then, NO, I did not get that. And I loved it.

it strikes me that they'd soon all be levelled out in terms of health -

Yes. It makes sense.

i doubt river would consent to being his barbell.

Um. So, is that what they're calling it these days?? Also, Simon might get pissy.
(oh, I am lame. LAME).

[angstslashhope]

I was all expecting something nice and happy and then, NO, I did not get that.

well, like i said, this has been playing itself out in my head for a while... like, if they were left there long enough, would it really be possible for them to go back? would they want to go back? it strikes me that they'd reach a point of being there where survival would depend on *not* constantly assuming they're about to be rescued. they'd adapt to the point that going back would be impossible. and would they be all that happy to see Serenity, anyway, after they'd been left there? it's not like they need her to survive any more, why would they welcome her?

So, is that what they're calling it these days?? Also, Simon might get pissy.
(oh, I am lame. LAME).In that case, you are not the only lame one. like i said, i have thought about this a LOT. *whistles innocently* liek, one of the things that made me write Bower in the first place was the concept of what that kind of environment would do to River - and i figured it would be better for her than

This is evil in its open interpretation-ness and I love it.

[angstslashhope]

i didn't realise how open-interpretation it was until i re-read it this morning, but yeah. innit? *gleeful*

so glad you like it :D
