any chance of this being updated.I loved it.

Very lovely of you to produce 32 pages for us to enjoy :)

Hoping you haven't exhausted your fingers and that the next update will come soon!

No mas updates until after finals, well after the Milosz update. So...between Dec 25 and Jan~

Thank you for the review though. It took a fair bit of time to get it out between five courses, three labs, and 4 hours of sleep per night, lol...I'm going to fall over dead one day.

So I just found this story and I LOVE IT! I just came off the Firefly marathon on Sci channel and had to find more Firefly / Serenity stuff. Thanks for writing. :)

Just found this fic hope to see more

An interesting take, and nice to see Simon maturing a little faster than in canon. Curious - will he still 'hire' the crew to raid Ariel, and will Jayne still be willing to betray them? How much more could they do without that betrayal? Or will it still be as scrambled, with someone recognizing Riddick?

Can't wait to read more!

I love what you are doing with this fic.
You mesh the two worlds quite well and believable, and I like how you develop Jack's character. And all those Jack and Jayne Cobb-jokes in the making...yay!

Very cool! I was assuming that you were simply re-posting here the chapters already up on fanfiction.net, but this was a chapter I'd not seen there! Looking forward to more, whenever. :)

I actually did mean to post this up on FF, but it didn't really fit in with things. I might end up with two different stories, one a little darker and grittier, one a little funnier and light hearted.

Interesting cross over. I like it, so I hope you keep with it.

Always satisfying to see Atherton get his comeuppance (with the added bonus of Jack and Jayne getting to order Badger off of HER ship before River even got to pull of her abortive distraction). :)

Yay! I admit, I was kinda looking forward to Riddick showing up in the story. And Diesel is cute as heck.

Really enjoying the story so far.

Far from my favorite episode, also, but you made it much better! Well done.

Looking forward to seeing what happens when Riddick meets River face to face, and particularly if Riddick decides that Jayne's not a good enough husband-to-be for his 'little sister'.

In case I forgot to mention earlier, I really like the way you depict River's thought processes and speech.

The idea of the events of ‘Riddick’ and ‘Firefly’ taking place in the same universe has been done before, but your twist on it is certainly original, and the dynamics you’re creating for Jack and the rest of the crew seem to be promising so far...

Same disclaimer.

*Zoe let out a whistle before moving her piece on the board and taking no less than seven of Mal's pieces.* -- They were playing Chinese checkers. She didn't 'take' his pieces. She used his pieces to move her own 7 spots instead of the one it could be moved otherwise. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_checkers

*Jack could have punched him for that. He was medicating her, without even checking to see what was chemically wrong with River. "I swear to od Simon...you're a surgeon. Not a neuro-specialist. You can't make judgments regarding her mind when you're trained to reattach limbs."* -- Thank you for finally saying that. Even if I think he probably would have run the tests. I also loved that she was swearing to 'od' - god's less powerful but more involved younger brother.

*"The most I'm giving you is asprin." Simon was wearing his doctor face. "You've been through too much stress recently and it's only your third day off of a hangover."* -- Aspirin is an anti-coagulant. Not the best thing when someone has a healing wound. And the right painkiller could help her relax. I have no idea what the hangover has to do with what meds to give her. Dose her. Let her sleep it off.


EDIT: It's called the rules of chinese checkers and watching the episode. No captures.

Hangovers don't cause liver damage... Drinking causes liver damage. If you've had hangovers that lasted multiple days, then you have liver damage because you're an alcoholic. Painkillers would only add to it, yes. And Aspirin is still the wrong choice for someone who's been wounded.

First: It's called house rules. Most people have them, and most times, when you're drinking, you start making your own up.

Second, and this is from personal experience, hangovers cause havoc on your liver. Either you've never been so hungover you're in bed for multiple days, in which case the most you can handle is water and aspirin, or you just don't care about the health of the human body. I have liver damage for overly aggressive pain killers and drugs, prescribed by my doctor so I could 'sleep it off'. Whoever has been telling you to drug up and pass out is killing you. Slowly.

Don't take criticisms to mean that I don't like your story because I wouldn't bother to review if it didn't like it.

Right off the bat -- "In the five years Jack had been on board..." Not possible. As of the Episode Serenity, Inara had been on the ship less than a year. *In "The Train Job," Inara tells Book she has been on the ship "eight months now," while in "Bushwhacked," she tells Commander Harken that "(i)n a few weeks, it will be a year" since she came aboard.* Source: http://www.mts.net/~arphaxad/firefly.html

Next paragraph -- "... lifting heavy objects at shooting men from 500 feet away." 500 feet isn't that far. 300 yards (900 feet) is considered a good shot. 500 yards is considered an excellent shot.

"The pretty boy really hadn't been off dirt had he? Any spacer worth his pay knew the government didn't commandeer a ship unless theirs was broken down or they were working undercover. But Dobson looked just as curious." -- That line is excellent. Makes sense too. Great job.

And again -- ""Ain't nothin," Kaylee waved it off, "Bit of know how is all. Machines kind of talk to me. Not in the crazy 'kill all humans' kind of way."" HaHa!!! LOL

I assume Mr. Toombs got off on Whitefall. He said he was going to but you never showed him getting off. Now, I'm assuming it was Riddick in the coffin and they just got off on a planet that a ship full of Reavers got shot down on. That's going to be interesting.


EDIT: Ok, you mussed the timeline. Fine. What about Jayne now being such a horrible shot that he can't hit anything past 500 feet?

Artistic license

Nothing would have worked if I allowed proper ages through, so I altered them, and the time line.

I'm really bad with distance. Overlook it.
