My copy of Still Flying arrived today and I was so excited to read it. Now that i've just finished 'Take The Sky' I kinda wish I hadn't read it all. I feel like Firefly just ended for me and now there's no hope of anything because Mal ends up dying all by himself and nothing seems to have happened between him and Inara. Is it just me or did the story make everybody really bummed out?

I was really bummed, when I read this, too, but Jose said it isn't neccesarily the end. It's a very hopeless story, for a story about hope, that's Mal, in a nutshell, though.
I interpret it more as Inara doing her secret, and Mal feeling regret that he couldn't do anything to save her. It would really leave him hopeless and dieing alone.

It's got a really good Mal voice, and there's at least some indication of what all Mal would be willing to give up to have what he considers a normal life. That's not nothing. :)

Besides, it was all just a daydream, anyway.

Mal's voice is spot on, and yeah, there is that little part about him willing to give up everything if she'd only ask him, that made me tear-up...almost.
Mal’s got the heart of a romantic, but we already knew that:)

Considering the amount of time between Serenity and that story, I'm not too concerned about it. I think it's somewhat similar to the "Epitaph One" episode of Dollhouse. We can think things mean one thing, but we'll probably be wrong.
Personally, I'm just excited to have more Firefly.

Did you guys read the same story that I did? Go back and read it to the end.
NONE OF IT MEANS A DAMNED THING.
While it's a fun read, all it really tells us is that Mal indulges in relatively uninspired fanfic.
To date, the only "real" story that we have that's post-SERENITY is FLOAT OUT (although CRYSTALS provides a few hints of what might come).
