Why You Must Read This:

Because it is a wrenching look at one of the most difficult characters on Serenity - the sophisticated, aloof, luminous Companion Inara. Inara's not a character with a large fan base - many fans of the show have actor issues, others 'forced chemistry' issues, and some just don't find her all that interesting. Canon doesn't help us out much - Inara is not really 'one of the crew', just someone along for the business opportunity. It seems that Inara has something in her past, some story to tell, but we never got the chance to hear it.

Northlight takes the 'four things that never happened' pattern and uses it to weave fine clothes for a bare-framed theme. Here are four ways Inara left the place where she was raised, four paths that she stepped out on, on her way to Serenity, four once-upon-a-times for the lost princess.
