Sad, but sooooooo good, and completely in character, too.
I fear this one won't get many reviews, so to speak, but don't let that get you down. It's lovely. Sad and angry, but lovely.
You said this series was five ways M/I could go, and you're right. This is one of them. A damn realistic one. Many like to forget that Mal is not a nice man; that Mal is a broken man; a man with some serious issues-and this fic does not. Someone recently told me (in regards to a character death fic of mine) that (if you) 'Remain true to the characters sometimes they may die, but they'll die true', and this fic does that with M/I. Truth sometimes hurts...
But... butbutbut... but WHY? Why would you DO that? Why would you give them that little tiny moment of happiness and then use it to twist the knife in even deeper?
It hurts, and not in the good way. And yet, it's so true to how it probably would have ended up had the show continued that I can only applaud through the tears.
I'm going to agree with Collswan - this is only number three, and I'm already reaching for chocolate.
