Very glad to see you back with the start of a longer series. You've set up a number of interesting threads. Zoe's going to be a tough parent for a teenage boyfriend to deal with. I am wondering if we'll find out more about Zoe's own childhood or youth through this story--that would be very interesting. I sense that you're setting up Inara for some introspection about her choices. I hope you'll follow up on that thread, because you've been so good about getting into Inara's head in the past. Love that you've got Pierre and Elizabeth and the rest involved in this story as well: I adore those characters as well. Good to see Mal interacting with his children, although I think I'll have to go back and refresh on what happened in Fractured and Aftermath--it's been a while :-)

Yay, really happy to see you continuing this ultra shiny series slumming! I cheered, honest to goodness I did :~) Poor Anya, but I wouldn't want to be the one to cross Zoe over the new beau. And I loved Mal's observation about Jayne as he moved around on the crutches made for him with all the skill of a craftsman. I can see we are all set for a real treat as you add further chapters, so good to have you back! Ali D :~)

Very cool that you are back, I think I am going to have to go back and reread all your old fics to remember all the important details though.

Thank you all for the kind words. As I seem to have lost the ability to PM on this site, I will have to respond in this way. It means alot to me that you continue to read and review. It's always good to hear from you! :)
