This first section, like several other future sections, was inspired by another fanfic that I liked but wanted more, so I am writing it into my story. If that upsets you, and you aren’t the author in question, tough. If you are said author and it bothers you, please let me know, and I will do what I can to accommodate you. The story is Jubal’s New Bounty, by AINTWEJUST. I recommend reading it before starting this one.

Jubal Early's little ship floated through the Black, fusion engine pushing him past stars and systems in mere instants. He was glad for the modifications he had made to this little ship. It was faster than most, at least as far as he knew. Not that he was in a hurry. He would find his quarry soon enough.
He leaned back and looked over the reports again. He actually considered himself lucky, upon learning of the path of bodies in River Tam's wake. Persephone. Arial. Even the Shepherds and other residents of Haven, though they were killed by a gunship instead of these supposed creepy blue glove wearing men. The hundreds of reavers killed on the planet that the Miranda broadwave was sent from. Well, there was no feeling sorry for those people, at least not now. The Alliance had made them into those monsters, and the only current solution was to kill or be killed when it came to reavers. The Alliance, heh. They had been a good source of income, when they were whole and powerful, but now the fractured remains bickered and warred among themselves, while the rest of the 'verse enjoyed some relative peace from their oppression.
He turned his focus back to the blue-gloved men. There existed no factual data on these men on the Cortex, nothing abou
This was a nice, slice-of-life chapter. Why do I think it's leading up to bad stuff befalling our heroes? *is paranoid*
Early kicks ass hehe good story River youdabess .
Lookin forward to more from ya!
Of course River sent them off to find out how everyone wanted their steak cooked already knowing and just hoping S/K would seek out some privacy to continue their necking and not REALLY go do what River asked!
Looking forward to the next chapter!
Bless, so sweet with River trying to get them privacy and it not working. Very nice and just what she'd do. (And then go and look to see if Simon was still being a boob, right? lol.)
I also like the Zoe insight. She really would be all eaten up with so much pain and anger and hatred right now. Poor Zoe :(
More please!
Great job on all the voices. River cooking, Jayne meddling, tasting, River with the psychic spoon-smacking...all very good. You know my pervy mind could see some Jayne/River NC17 right after I read that though, right?
Fave line: “A nice medium would be fine, thank you,” she smiled. “Hold on a minute and I’ll head back that way with you.”----Excellent 'Nara-talk. Could hear her speaking.
Nice fic RiverismyGoddess, can't wait for number 5
Favorite lines:
1.Jayne had crossed the threshold from the crew quarters and said loudly “I want mine rare, still mooing if possible,”
2.
2. “You can taste some if you want Jayne, if you’ll help set up the table.”
Jayne is all man, well sorta, you do a very good job of pulling that out of him
on to 5
