I wasn't gonna post this until Mal threatened me

This is not so much a short story as a "meanwhile, back at the ranch" vignette written after I read Rinalin's breathtakingly painful story "The End of All Things." Like hers, it has SERIOUS SERENITY SPOILERS. I would ask, beg and bribe you not to read either of them if you haven't seen our BDM. Of course if you haven't, please leave your name and

*dances* Rinny cut and pasted this into our AIM convo, and i pestered her to pester you to post it properly!

its heartbreaking and so very very Mal. combining this with Rinny's just makes me cry.

Thank you very much. When I read end of all things, I think some little part of me died, just like it did when watching BDM. I had no intention of posting it, but Mal's nagging is making me want to extend this, so I might. And if I don't, I still have another chapter of Cloudburst that needs posting, lol and the fic challenge over at Friday to do.

*scoops up Mal and cuddles him something fierce*

So good! You people and your angst! :-p I picture it ending just like this from Rin's fic! Although I imagined an even darker end for Kaylee, I'm glad Mal dumped her. :)

*giggles* me too.

My little shipper heart wants there to be a chance for Jayne and Kaylee to find each other.

*sniff*

Darling, you know how much this broke me. I was too scared to write Mal's descent into utter agony, and you did what I couldn't bring myself too. Brava!
