We Invented the Remix...Redux 6

Oh, holy wow. This is one of my favorite things to come out of this year's Remix. There's so much here that's gorgeous -- insight into Book's past (and, for that matter, Book's resurrection -- squee!), the way you handled the Mal/Wash/Zoe (or Mal/Zoe/Wash *g*) triad, River being river ("boob" is a palindrome -- and I laughed out loud when she dropped that pear down her shirt)... Seriously, this is just fantastic. Funny and snarky and gritty and believable and just the right balance of answers and unanswerables. YAY!
