Oh, this is no end of wonderful! I love the way you write Kaylee, and the way she sees Mal. Her scene in Inara's shuttle was fantastic (both voices were spot-on, and I loved the little details, like Kaylee snipping a wire awkwardly because she wasn't about to come out from under the nav panel), and I love the way it all unfolds -- and the U-Day stuff seems just right; some people aren't going to change their minds about the Alliance even given what's come out -- and, oh, it's just gorgeous. Thank you for this.
