EXPECTATIONS (04)
Part (01)
Follows . Precedes . My stories are sequential and build upon events in the previous stories. If anything in this story is confusing, may I suggest that you read the series, starting with: If you read these, and it’s still confusing, I’d appreciate your leaving a comment, so I can work on fixing it! Secrets are shared and secrets are kept. Is there really nothing left to see? Mouse over Chinese words in text for translations Rating: All my stories are PG to PG-13 to occasional R. You will not find detailed descriptions of blood, gore, and sex, but you will find situations appropriate for mature readers, innuendo, implication, and (gasp) swear words. Thanks to my sister for beta reading. | * * * Zoe nodded off in the pilot seat as Serenity sailed through the Black on a re-calculated course from Beaumonde to 尘球 Chén Qíu . Earlier in the voyage, the ship had lost all of her automated navigational systems and taken an unexpected side trip to Hera. The nav sat failure had occurred on Zoe’s watch, and the ship had drifted off course on her watch. Although it was clear that the navigational system had been sabotaged, Zoe felt responsible. She had slept through the early warnings. It was just so damn difficult to keep her focus, to keep her eyes open, when she spent so many hours looking into th
Ha, River did a Rite of Passage through the Lion's Mouth... Nice touch.
Also really like how you're throwing curveballs in the relationship you're developing... With those two it's never going to be straightforward. One or the other is always going to be lost in their head, or holding something back. Which, hopefully, will lead to more of those fun tempestuous fights, as opposed to tragedy, though either one would be a good subject for story matter.
"You can't take the sky from me!"
Bytemite: Thanks for noticing the details!
Operative? Coincidence? Ha!
Oh, yes, tempestuous M/I coming up. Wait and see.
Nutluck: Yes, this one's a little longer. I'm aiming for >3000 words for all of them these days, primarily based upon your feedback on my first story. This one's nearing 5000 words.
Ali D: "Not sure it was a good thing telling Neumann about Serenity and her Captain"...You've homed in on the heart of it.
I like how Inara dressed for one occasion and all she did was hold him, or at least that’s what’s implied, I do wish she would be more open with her troubles.
I always thought Shadow was nuked, the chain reaction works just fine though.
Good idea bringing the Operative back.
Glad you appreciated the Mal/Inara scene. There are many facets to intimacy; sex is just one of them. I wanted to show how Mal and Inara's relationship is progressing. Inara will have to be more open, or things will stall.
My take on Shadow is that the bombing set off a chain reaction that destroyed the terraforming. The events that destroyed Shadow are explored more thoroughly in one of my upcoming stories. (teaser)
Operative: yes, he's baaaack!
