Honest Run
“There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind…”
Wash looked over his shoulder to find River still at the console behind him. Book had gone to help Zoe and Kaylee secure the ship from the exit of the comet’s draft. He wiped his eyes wearily, “That’s awfully familiar, River.”
River only smiled back at him.
“Are you really alright, River?” Wash asked, “You seem better is all…”
“I know where I am,” she said, “It hurts still, but I’m not lost.”
Wash cocked his head. One of River’s patented abstracts that word for word made no sense, but communicated anyway, “I’m sure that your brother would be glad to hear that.”

Believe it or not, Honest Run was one year old last month ago. Some have voiced the opinion that it should go on forever. I don't know about forever, but it's looking to close in one or two more chapters.
Thankfully Serenity didn't impede any of my story at all, but there are somethings that I'd like to backedit. Some details that aren't exactly right.
Thanks for reading and feel free to make any comments!
Keep flyin'

Jack, you've managed to capture each characters' character and manner of speech. Excellent work! Reads like a lost Firefly episode.

Sorry, I forgot to rate it and when I said characters character i meant the characters essence.

This has been one of my all-time favorite fanfics, so much so that I even remember what's happening between episodes (hint: Write more). Loved how you got more fuel to Serenity, especially since it involved another 'ship! Looking forward to hearing Boston's and Brittn's stories.

Another excellent part. It had been so long I'd wondered if this was going to end up in the never-to-be-finished stack.
Only another part or two to go? But, but, there's still so much to deal with, you can't end it that soon!
Cna't wait to read what happens next.

I can't wait until the next chapter. You have no idea how much I treasure a fanfic writer who does a good Wash. :)

Any chance we'll ever get a new chapter? Poor Simon has been suffering long enough (and, ahem, some people have written 115,000-word novels between postings of a single chapter here. Just sayin').

I have been avidly reading this whole series, and am captivated.
Very good writing. Is there some conclusions coming?
Please...please...please.
