My intent is to include chapter links in this post for each chapter in The Four Winds.

Chapter 1
...River is attacking the crew again

Chapter 2
...Mal argues with Inara, Zoe argues with Wash, and Simon is made intensely uncomfortable.

Chapter 3
...Simon is grateful, River is ungrateful, and Mal and Jayne have nothing to be grateful for, yet.

Chapter 4
...Mal and Jayne do some climbing; Simon and Zoe go for a jog

Chapter 5
...Mal is forced to abandon most of the crew to their fates.

Chapter 6
...Wash moves too slowly, and Mal has waited too long

Chapter 7
...Inara buys Mal a gift; Mal feels undeserving.

Chapter 8
...The crew are forced to make alternate travel arrangements.

Chapter 9
...River, Simon and Zoe remain at large; Mal makes a troubling discovery

Chapter 10
...Blue Sun are hunting River; Wash cannot find This Cat; River touches down

Chapter 11
...Mal tries to square away the cargo; Inara tries to warn Mal; Zoe and Simon go to ground

Chapter 12
...River sees a ghost

Chapter 13
...Mal has to tell the client the job's gone bad; River finds a hiding place; Wash has an idea that upsets Jayne and Kaylee

If you enjoyed this Firefly adventure, I'd love to know.

He shouldn't have said that. He knew it the second it was out of his mouth, but it was too late then to bite his tongue. )

The rest of the crew come home.

When Mal realized he was the only person talking, and the only person not looking off in the direction of the bay doors, he broke off midsentence and followed his crew's gaze. )

Me -n- Elwood, we're puttin' the band back together.

At some point, Mal's momma had tried to teach him manners. That lesson came to him now, in his hour of need. )

A/N: My job, which had been becalmed (allowing me to finally finish this thing) has gone from "not a breath of wind to ruffle the sails" to "TYPHOON! Batten down the hatches!" this week. In order to clear the decks, I will probably post the remaining three chapters of this story as quickly as I can get to them - today and this weekend, I hope. Y'all please enjoy!

In this installment, Inara goes to investigate a disturbing sensor reading, and Mal discovers that the impossible has been done in his absence.

Kaylee waved brightly at them as they walked toward the ship. Her face was tear-streaked, but she was smiling. )

River shows up; Mal provides information to the Alliance.

Mal laughed out loud. As if he were in any kind of position to be of any use to anyone! )

When Mal tries to recover the cargo, will he lose more than he stands to gain?

Wash's voice came loudly through the comm, but Mal felt only the cold chill of a loss too great to believe just yet. )

Mal makes changes to his plan; River puts her plan into action; Inara decides on a plan of her own; Wash discovers something else he wasn't planning on.

A/N: We're coming down to the wire on this one. Things are going to start happening very, very fast. I hope that anyone still reading is having fun.


Kaylee looked uncertain about that. As well she might, Mal reflected, given that he had just proposed to commit industrial espionage under the watchful eye of the well-armed law. )

Simon gets an alias; the client makes contact with Mal; Wash learns something shocking

There was just no way this was going to end well. Not one that Mal could see. Not when his best hope was to make it to the region of space populated by crazed cannibals as fast as possible. )

Our Heroes - and Our Villains - try to figure a way out of the mess they're in.

Malcolm Reynolds was loyal to his crew. )
