Jaz sat nervously in the opulent waiting room. The high priestess of House Madrassa was legendary even within the sheltered halls of the academy. It was said that she had slain countless Reavers, that she had single-handedly destroyed an Alliance cruiser, that even The Directors themselves feared to directly confront her.

She wrapped her arms around herself, trying to convince herself the shivering was a residual effect of the cryo. Something about the room seemed familiar. She brushed lightly against the memories of warm dreams that had offered her an occasional escape from the cold terrors of her waking hours, then abruptly withdrew. She knew better than to linger, knew well the punishment for improper thought, the pain of – someone was coming!

She crouched in the corner, waiting. The gilded doors creaked open. A gray-haired shepherd stepped through, winking affectionately at her as he passed. Sh

Wow...that was pretty gorram quick! Guess my post in the previous chapter was worth it!

I'm happy and I'm sad. Happy to have been able to read such a wonderful story, but sad because it is over.

Hopefully you will think up another story to entertain us all with!

I'm going to take a little a break from writing, as my wonderful wife is due to deliver in a few weeks (Woo-hoo! Shiny's gonna be a daddy!!!) :) I hope this epilogue gives you a bit of an idea about where I am thinking of taking this storyline next.

Thanks for reading everyone, and please keep sending me your comments! I really appreciate the feedback!

Congratulations on the new baby! Hope the stories you will be telling your baby will be longer, this was a good story and I enjoyed it but boy was it frustrating to read a few lines then have it end. I am sure you will be a perfect Daddy, Ali D :~)

Hmm...like a baby is some kind of an excuse! J/K

I'm really happy for you. CONGRATS!! I'm sure you'll enjoy all the wonderful things parenthood entails. I wish I could tell you what some of those are, but not being a parent myself, I have no clue.

Best of luck to you, the Mrs., and the little one!

Well,

*slap upside the head*

You killed my Simon, jerk!

Okay, I must admit, I really really hate alternate 'verse fics. But once I got past my fury of ten thousand suns because you killed Simon (you bastard!) and for riffing on Mal's threat to space him, thus totally assassinating him in my mind, I have to say

Well done.

Very clean crisp writing, no frills without losing any heart or emotion. I'll have to set aside some time so I can go back chapter-by-chapter and give you more detailed feedback.

From Chapter 1 to the Epilogue, I've read and loved this.

It is so beautifully written. I can't rave enough about it.

Thank you for sharing this with us.
