I'm new on the boards and I've been lurking for a while, but I had to jump in because I wanted to second this excellent analysis. It also jibes with something Christina Hendricks said in the Companion about how Saffron plays her cons so completely that she almost needs to convince herself for each "role". I'm also very glad the subject is getting tossed around for a fanfic, because she's one of my favorite characters and there's a serious lack of fic for her. Which brings me to my next point...
I recently read a very interesting ficlet about Mal/Saffron, but something about the conclusion didn't ring true to me, and I was inspired to take it in a different direction. However, I haven’t written creatively since high school, and I don’t know the protocol for posting, finding a beta, etc. Any suggestions/direction would be greatly appreciated!

Great - it's nice to hear of someone having a creative response!

if you are really nervous - post into your blog page - and then invite comments.
you can place an add for a beta in this forum if you need one..
but don't let the lack of it stop you writing!
i've had technical troubles with correction software
but - if i got too self conscious about all that then I would stop writing
and where's the FUN in that?
look forward to your post!
make someone a browncoat today - don't drive nobody away

She manipulates everyone so that she is never really vulnerable. If you go with this mindset, she would definately go after the crew of Serenity again, to get them to trust her and then con them, just so she can prove to herself that she is the only one pulling the strings.
I think that's a pretty acurate analisis of Yo-Saff-Bridge, and one that fits all the facts.
Maybe you could write a fic about that?"The human body can be drained of blood in 8.6 seconds, given adequate vaccuuming systems." -River
"It's just an object. It doesn't mean what you think -River
Bwaa!

So you shoot her with the Lassiter that you stole from her, and fetch the money from her burning corpse!
Oops, I forgot the Lassiter doesn't work! 
So maybe you shoot her with the gun that you so easily got out of her holster? 
Maybe you could do that in a fic? Like, maybe you could have someone from our world get transported to the Firefly universe, and they do that? That would be pretty interesting.
Just a random idea from your fellow blabber-mouth, insane Browncoat.
