Love your work in this fandom as well!
Thanks!

Ah, I miss this show, but the fic helped ;)
I think you had everyone perfectly in character, and I could almost hear them while reading this,
As usual, you manage to perfectly blend angst and humor. Loved Jayne's interpretation of the Three Musketeers *lol*

Happy Birthday! ;)

Great job with the characterizations. River Woman was very well done, crazy and serious and funny all at the same time. I have to wonder how her job interview would have gone. :) I also like Jayne's interpretation of The Three Musketeers. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have a use for Romeo and Juliet, but I wonder how he might have liked Hamlet?

(P.S. My granny's from Kentucky, so I know what it's like ta drop inta Firefly-speak an' not be able ta git out. Drives my husband nuts, it does.) :)

I really loved this story. One of the few non Rayne stories I've read. I would love to see a sequel with a Rayne angle. Anyway...thanks so much. Will be keeping you on my list of favorite authors to read more of you stories in the future.

Excelent story! Great read from start to finish. Sequel in the works? That would be great! Anyways thanks a lot for this great piece of fanfiction.

Great story you should keep it go and read a Sequel. I would read it. 10

Very much love for this story. I so loved it and was so into it. Right up until River started coming on to Jayne. Got better after I realized it wasn't going to be Rayne; I think I have a different idea of River than 'most everyone. Maybe only 'cause I'm a bit broken myself.

I was a little bit thrown off by how much rim-speak River and Inara seem to have picked up in such a short time.

Great insight all around into Jayne though. I've been trying to learn him but can't get into his brain. This is helpful. And delightful and heart-tearing. Reminds me of Best of Both Worlds. Watch any ST:TNG?

Favorite moments:

"new woman moonbrain of a ruttin’ girl person" (*snort*)

“Simon, fix the Reaver Hunter now or your sister’s brain will find new ways to self destruct.”

“Ya’, that’s it. It’s been my plan all along to get her alone in the cargo bay and force her to read old folktales ta me in the middle of the night. It’s taken damn near a year ta set it up.”

Wonderful writing.

I loved it and am very sad that it's over.

I really like this story! It's so original and well written!

This is an awesome beginning! This story is great and I can't wait to read on!

Jayne is getting better! And there is so much room for a sequel. A Rayne sequel, if Mal can get his head out of his pigu (chinese may be incorrect). I loved this story, and I desperatly want some more!

I really enjoyed the humor you injected with the double entendre's about River and Jayne's night time activities, and I'm glad to see Jayne has finally found a purpose, even if doesn't sit quite right with him yet, least not when he's thinking about it.

I'd love to see you continue to develop this facet of Jayne, but I can understand why you'd want to be done with him. I'm looking forward to your next project.

I loved every aspect of this story. It was very original and well written. I highly enjoyed reading it and I would glady read anything else you come out with.

I didn't know you're a Browncoat. I can't wait to read this!

Now this is a mighty interesting ending, hazelmom...setting up for a swashbuckling sequel?

;)

Great stuff here, I have to admit. Though I do wonder at your decision to have River start using a Rim-style speech pattern and vocabulary...just seems a bit off to imagine River speaking like Jayne or Mal or Kaylee. 14 years shapes how you speak quite a bit, so I am not sure if having River muddle her words all of a sudden (though her remark about how she prefers Rimworld lingustic honestly and flow is quite clever) is something that could draw a reader out of the story. I can see some adaptation of slang, Mandarin curses and other small changes, but complete de-evoulution of her language skills? Jury's still out on that for me...maybe something you could address in a sequel?

*wink*
