Thanx, that pet peeve stems from my Irish and Scottish roots, my hair color was no surprise. But besides that it does work better with the comparison of the two, good work.

I don't think I ever considered Niska's POV, how clever of you to. I agree it WOULD be interesting to see how his thoughts have changed after our daring crew stages the rescue of their beloved(albeit sometimes a tad crazy) Captain.

Very good, just one thing though, and this is a personal pet peeve of mine, about which I may be completely wrong, but Wash is a RED-Head. Blondes are not that funny (no offense to anyone out there).

You're about to find out, buddy!

Very well done. First time I've read something from Niska's point of view. I'd like to see something from Niska after Mal is rescued. It would be very interesting.
