Blue Sun Job, Part 8: Zoe’s Tale
靑日 Job: Zoe’s Tale

To have and to hold...

Zoe let the words drift through her mind as she held close to the man who wasn’t her husband. So seldom they’d done this, her and Mal. Beyond rare. Once in the far distant Before he’d pulled her in close to offer comfort for a shared grief and she’d pushed him away. It had been a shattering moment in their relationship then and one never spoken on by either of them since. Then the wartime came, and despite where they’d left off years earlier he’d walked through the fire for her, violating more orders than she could count, to save her from a hellish fate. It forged a new bond between them based on absolute loyalty and--ultimately--unquestionable trust. Zoe had no imagining of a debt she needed

Amazing, loved the interplay btw them in the past and in the present. Who cares about the robbery, we wanna know about before the war!

Yep, in terms of greatness, it's telling that you've managed to keep the characters so compelling that the impending robbery is a distant second to the supurb emotion and dialouge that you wrest out of these character in what makes me check this site more than once daily for the next installment.

I'm not in any hurry for the robbery either. All though I'm sure it'll be great when it comes because you write so well.

For the moment, I'm enjoying wallowing in your beautiful, beautiful depiction of the relationship between Zoe and Mal. It is so deep, so true. And I kind of like the way there was a "helluva lot of rolling around in the hay." ;)

This is really good, an enthralling read. I love how you show Mal and Zoe's relationship. The closeness between them is more than blood, deeper than a physical love. More like the welding of their DNA to each other. Wonderful and fascinating and so begging for more! Ali D :~)

would be nice if, one day--perhaps in one of the movies or on a tv special--this part of their relationship was explored.
There definitely is somewhat of an unspoken "history" between Zoe & Mal. Mal even says as much when he tells Wash (in War Stories) that Zoe disobeyed an order by marrying Wash.
Also, I think Zoe's calling Mal "Sir" is her way of keeping distance; of keeping their relationship professional and not personal.
In other words, about this story: Wheeeee!!!!
Great work. Want more!
