Why this must be read: One of the many nice things about this community is it forced me to go back through a lot of the firefly fic. I don't know how or why I didn't remember this one, but it's amazing. She uses second person to an amazing effect giving the whole story a beautiful dream like quality. This is not a sweet story. I love the Mal/Simon pairing because I think it makes for a real, compelling, complex relationship; and this story exposes all the inherent flaws. It's sexy, beautiful, and tragic without being at all sappy. Go read it now! :)
