Why this must be read:
Because it's awesome. By turns funny and sad and hopeful. Sirius Black finds himself on Serenity, and all he wants is to get back home. I love it because it still feels like the crew of Serenity, even though it's told from Sirius's pov. There's lovely interaction between them all, especially between Mal and River, and the glimpses we see of Zoe are heartbreaking and true. The best thing, however, is the relationship between Sirius and River, who understand each other better than anyone else could, and there's a sense that, even if Sirius can't find his way back, he just might have a home right where he is.
An excerpt:
He still spends most of his time with River and Kaylee, trying to be helpful where he can. Kaylee gives him a rough sketch of each crewmember's background,
but when he presses for information about River, she clams up. The others all look tense when he asks -- Mal goes white around the mouth, Zoe's eyes harden,
and Jayne's hand rests on the butt of his gun -- and change the subject.
"Ask the right questions, maybe you'll get the right answer," River says. "Simon saved me." She cocks her head, brow furrowed in concentration. "You couldn't
save your brother. You didn't even try."
He'd had to tell them an abridged story of his life -- hit the high points, anyway -- before Mal would let him stay onboard, but hadn't mentioned Regulus
at all.
"Maybe he wasn't worth saving."
"Does that make you feel better?"
He doesn't say anything. Regulus wasn't the only brother he'd failed, just the first one.
