Icon love! <3333

Heh. I see what you mean. A fic with pinky-swearing in it can't be ALL angsty! If I just get rid of all the parts with the death and grief in it, it'd absolutely fic the "crack" requirements. *G*

HAHAHA That was so sweet. Poor Mal, everyone to worry about.
And I like the idea that Kaylee would go just crazy.

Mal's such a good captain. *G*

Thanks, darling! :)

[goldy_dollar]

Awww, thank you! *happy feedback beam*

It suddenly struck me as odd that there were so little fics dealing with Kaylee's grief post-Serenity, especially considering the way she feels every little thing. I mean, she'd be happy with Simon, but come on! *G*

Though the idea of a messy kitchen is making the anal-retentive me twitchy. Must Help Clean Up.

*pats*

I understand! *hands you a mop*

Aw, that was so cute. I just saw Drive so I'm on a giddy rush from watching two hours of Nathan. :-D I just love it when Mal becomes a big softy around Kaylee. She has that unique talent to bring it out of him.

Mal swallowed hard. He couldn’t believe it. All that time, worrying on Zoe, on River-not once giving thought to Kaylee.

And I see this as totally valid, too. I think Kaylee would feel bad because she and Simon finally worked it out but at the worst of times.

Awww, Drive! I'm behind on my Nathan support. Must download! *makes mental note*

And... thank you so much! It suddenly occurred to me as I sat down to write this that Kaylee's grief so often gets ignored post-BDM, and considering that she's the most feeling intuitive member of the crew, it didn't sit right with me.

YAY! More Firefly fic from Frances! You're making my weekend so full of goodness! *grins*

This was good. I think I say it everytime I read a FF fic of yours, but seriously dear. You capture everyone SO perfectly! Your Mal voice is pefect, and Kaylee? I could literally see every single expression on her that you've written here. Such wonderful images. Well, sad images, but wonderfully portrayed.

I haven't seen many fics that focus on Kaylee dealing with the aftermath of the BDM. And I think this fit SO well with how it would happen. She's trying to do something good and nice because she's happy but she feels bad and then the teasing between her and Mal and how she starts to give him the smallest of smiles? Oh, so lovely.

♥ Well done darling!

Track down Simon, Jayne, whoever it was

And lol. I don't know if this was deliberate or not, but it totally made me think "OMG THERE'S A LOVE TRIANGLE GOING ON!" *laughs*

Awww, thank you! I'm sorry I'm so late responding to this. *cuddles*

That's what I was thinking when I sat down to write this! I couldn't remember reading much fic about how Kaylee would deal things post-BDM. A lot of it just tends to be overly saccharine Simon/Kaylee happily-ever-after fic. I'm so glad it worked for you! <3333

And lol. I don't know if this was deliberate or not, but it totally made me think "OMG THERE'S A LOVE TRIANGLE GOING ON!" *laughs*

LOL. I wasn't thinking that exactly, but I don't mind inserting that in as the back-story! *G*
