Concern darkened Kaylee’s eyes as she glanced at the quiet faces around the kitchen table. The only sounds in the galley - aside from those of forks half-heartedly scraping pottery as they ate their meager supper - floated down from the crew deck where Simon gently tried to coax River from where she'd curled up on the grating outside Mal's bunk.
"River, you need to come down now. Don't you want something

Oh good gorram,and now it's all falling apart! And I can't help but think there is a hell of a lot worse to come when those women arrive. I'm betting they are slaves and am still a bit in shock at Zoe going against Mal's wishes like that and stirring up a whole hornet's nest full of trouble albeit that her intentions were only for the good of one and all.

Not in a million-bagillion years, sorry. Not in my 'Verse.

Oh. Wow! It's worse, a real dilemma for Mal and him having to compromise what he'll do to keep Serenity flying, interesting and the level of angst between Mal and Inara is explosive. I liked his last line.
A possible scenario, post Miranda, looking for more

This was wonderful! You've exposed a whole new dimension in their relationship with this one. Would Mal compromise his beliefs just to feel he was keeping Inara safe? When would the self loathing and projected blame begin then? Quite a can of worms you've found. But then you've probably described Mal at his most vulnerable here - at the level of his fundamental view of himself and his world. Great job!

Holy Begesus!! You guys are good. In the last two days I have been going back and reading all the previous parts to this story and... WOW.. just WOW! Everything I have read has been so believable and seems so possible after Miranda. Keep up the wonderful work, looking forward to more!

This path is getting slower in between each chapter, but I'm sure a lot must be keeping you busy! I've never been good at writing serial fan fics of any kind, myself, so my hat's off to you! I love each chapter that I've read so far and you have done so well with this interpretation of how a M/I relationship might have reasonably progressed (well, if you can call this progress! 
).
I do hope we'll be seeing more installments before too many more months go by? I'm in such suspense! I'll have to go back and start over again. And again, and maybe one more time, savoring the journey each time!
