Why this must be read: This is a well written fic with a quiet depth of emotion to it that is very moving. The author is very good at writing to the feelings of Serenity's crew after the BDM, without stepping over to the excessively sentimental. (She) is very good at capturing the voices of the crew and has a deft hand when it comes to images and descriptions. And one of the best scenes is (her) description of Inara painting the Serenity character onto the side of the ship. (I dare you to not get at least a little choked up over it *grin*) Go read; enjoy; and remember to 'feed the author'

Very softly she asked. "So, what do we do now?"

He looked up sharply. "What do you mean?" Panic lacing his voice.

"Once we get the ship repaired. What do we do?" She knew when it was time to approach topics obliquely.

"I don't know."

"How can you not know? That's not an answer."

"Of course it is. It means that I don't know. It means that there are possibilities and I want to see what they are. It means that the universe has changed, but I don't understand it yet - not that I ever did, really - and I have to wait and see what it is. Before I know. Anyway, that's my answer, woman. I don't know." There were a thousand answers in his reply.

"So, you don't know." Very gentle teasing.

"No." She saw his shoulders relax infinitesimally. "I don't know."

"Well, it's not much of an answer, but I guess it's what you've got."

"Gorram straight." He was avoiding her eyes again. She decided to let it go.

"Okay then." She left without touching or looking at him again.
