And this just keeps getting better. Gorgeous use of the English language there, and so in character it hurts. I especially loved Mal's trek through the ship and his brief, casual thoughts on each of the crew: Kaylee and Simon's shacking up, Jayne's playing guitar and probably missing Book too, Inara asleep... And very much loved the scene in his bunk with River. It read very true and very touching and also very amusing.

Keep going with this. Because, as always, I am hooked quite thoroughly.
