She crept along the gangway, staying as silent as she knew how to be, breathing shallow and slow through her slightly open mouth. She'd been trained by the best. Her bare feet slid over the cold metal. If she didn't lift them, there'd be no contact broken, which meant no contact would need to be made to step forward.

A few minutes, a few harrowing and stressful minutes and then she'd reach relative safety. Until then, however, she was vulnerable, left out in the open.

He reared above her, large and imposing, taking up all the space her eyes had. All was lost. And she'd been so close.

"I been lookin' for you."

"That's 'cause I've been hiding." She whispered, leaning in close to tell her secret. "Shh. They're monsters all over the Land of Cargo Bay."

"Really?" He frowned, reaching out to pull her behind him and looking left to right, his eyes scanning the perilous lands below. "Best you climb on up then."

His hand grabbed hers easily, big, rough fingers closing over her tiny little ones. Her feet scrambled for purchase on his thig

Awww... *sniffle*
So beautiful, and so sad, and so perfect. A lovely bittersweet ending to a phenomenal series.

"She could feel the whole Universe dipping as he knelt down." - I especially love this line. It's exactly how a little girl would view her Daddy, especially one as large as Jayne, and especially in light of the fact that her mother is gone.

*sigh*
Thank you.

Man, you don't pull any punches. I am in awe of your ability to tell a story.

Well worth waiting for.

Oh, God! You really know how to break a heart...

I was so excited to see this posted and now I have to spend the rest of the day trying not to cry *sniff*

Excellent story telling, though. Loved Jessie's imagination...

Beautiful writing. I love the mixture of happiness and sadness.

An awesome epilogue for the series.

Poor Jessie, poor Jayne.

The first half had me laughing so hard I cried, and then you did a 180 and I need tissues for a different reason! You are awesome!

This was perfect!

This is the first time I've ever commented on fanfic, and you definitely deserve it. I loved the series, and I thought this was a great ending. I can't wait to read what you write next. I'll miss this series; you probably want to move on, but I'd love to see some more, maybe even something about the time in between the series and the epilogue. Anyway, THANK YOU for a wonderful series; I always looked forward to the next installment, especially after long days like today. : )
THANK YOU!!

Didn't see that coming at all! Very beautiful, but you gotta provide tissues if you're gonna break everyone's heart like that!

You are such a great writer! I love all your fics (by the way, will there soon be a continuation of The Best Deceptions?), and I really liked Pieces, but I think this was the best part of all (even though it isn't one strictly speaking) and I love Daddy-Jayne and Mal-Beast and oh, wonderfull!
Thank you!

oh, sooo good. Love the characterizations and the fansaty 6-year-old girl world. Brings great (if horribly sad) closure.

you did well since I'm crying. Damn! I love how you write & truly capture each character's voice. Excellent series & I appreciate your hard work of having all 100 parts be a continious storyline - except I think I'm now ruined & can't read any other Joss 100 fics because they won't be as good as yours - but that's a good thing!

I just started reading fanfics so forgive me for coming in so late, but this is one of the best series I have ever read. You really have alot of talent. Please keep writing more. I can see the characters saying and doing all these things. It's like Firefly never ended. Thank you!
