Nice. Dark and yet "comfortable". I read this over at FF.Net, but I don't review over there any more. I need to start again...I love your story, and I'm happy to have caught the last bit of it here. Good luck with some more! At least I'm hoping for more. One-shots, stories, etc...see you around!

I'm glad you reviewed over here. =)

I will post more of this 'verse eventually. I had a few plot ideas, but all of them required the boys to be a part of the crew, so of course I had to write how that happened!

"You and your stupid rope!" he exclaims.

*breathes* Wonderful. The pacing of the crossover, how it isn't rushed, and you just let the hints sneak through, is especially good. You almost begin to suspect the twins' innocence. Then the final section is the kicker, and the darkness is sudden and satisfying. I loved it.

Thank you. =)

A lot of the fic I see written in the Firefly-verse is of the light and fluffy variety, but there's such a capacity for darkness in some of the characters. I thought it would be extremely interesting to see how Mal interacted with the boys, and so of course I had to write it!

> ...slightly creepy, only because I first watched Bookdock Saints for the first time not two nights ago.

Hey, new fan! Cool. I was one of the people who actually got to see the big-screen rerelease last month, so it's been on my mind a lot.

> But other than that, very delicious. Connor + me = OTP, so yeah. I wish there could have been more hints of the Mal/River developement - it was a very strong story though. It seems like there could be more.
> Or, should I say, THERE WILL BE MORE. ;)

Hee. There will be more, at some point. I was trying to keep everything very understated in this one-- hint more than I showed or told.
