I agree compromise would be in their future if they are going to be together. First, they would have to realize they need each other. Then the day would come when they'd have to figure out how to fit their lives together. In words of Jayne Cobb, "That'll be an interesting day." I like to think they would work it out, but it's tricky.
P.S. Sorry if I take this stuff too seriously. I tend to do that. I would not let my son be Darth Maul (bad guy) for Halloween and he is still not allowed to wear t-shirts with skulls (death) no matter how cool they are.
May have been on the losing side, still not convinced it was the wrong one.

I just have to throw this in - who's to say that the reason Inara doesn't make her move with Mal is because she's a Companion? I mean, that's certainly an issue they'd need to deal with, because Mal obviously has a problem with it, but I feel like whatever's blocking her goes much deeper than that...
If only the series had run it's full term and given up all these secrets. *sad sigh*
Oh, and Platonist, re: "In a way, he is trapped in and on Serenity. He has traded one prison for another. He doesn't move on emotionally." Sooo true, and what a good point. I mean, it seems most folks (including me!) have taken Mal's love for his ship to be a purely wonderful happy thing, but it's got a darkness to it. Big darkness. He named it after the event that destroyed him for heaven's sake! Talk about not able to move on...

I've nothing useful to contribute, and as a fic writer I'm far from being brave enough to try my hand at Mal/Inara. But I wanted to let all of you know I've enjoyed reading your thoughts greatly.
Theirs is a complex non-relationship with potential for disaster or great beauty, and quite possibly both at once.
"Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells you when she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home." .......We love you, captain.
"This is the captain. We may experience some slight turbulence and then.....explode"
