Why this must be read:
The summary for this is "The second war changed everything", and that about sums it up. There's a lot here in a little space with lots of quietly telling details as the crew are scattered to new roles, but mostly it is Inara and Kaylee, first apart, and then together, making a new beginning. Lyrical and understated - and safe sex FTW!.
Inara had her own ship now, her own crew, whose job it was to fly her from place and place and make sure life was neat and secure. Mal had started the second war as a blockade runner, little enough different from smuggling. Inara couldn't stay for that and keep her companion license. Neither of them were ready for what options they'd have once she retired.
They had not all split off at once, but eventually, as the new war took wing.
Zoe and Mal had quarreled. The "legendary" Malcolm Reynolds who had risked everything to expose the Alliance's machinations in the war was offered command over 3000 folk and the rank of general. Zoe, the woman who had lost her everything, was offered a "promotion" to lieutenant and the oversight of 30. Zoe had accepted the commission; Mal had not.
According to Simon, Mal had flown without her two months before the morning he'd woken up, cursed the verse soundly and joined up as a sergeant under Zoe's command.
Nobody knew what River did, but the war seemed to turn in the Browncoats favor, wherever she and Serenity went. (The ship on loan, of course. Mal had not grown that much.) Simon was with her, and Jayne. Kaylee was not.
