A love story not unlike others (Mal/River)

Mal and River are in love. They try to ignore it, but it doesn't work. He saves her (and Simon) but can't explain why, except for the fact that he's in love with her. Despite what everyone thinks about her, he still has these feelings. She feels the same, and then one night she wanders into his bunk. They keep their relationship a secret until Simon discovers Mal coming out of River's room. Everyone is against it. It's too much for River to take. She tries to end it, but she makes it through. Mal is convinced that the best thing is just to leave, but River insists on going with him. Simon isn't please, needless to say. So, Mal and River run and start a new life and get their happy ending.

oh wow. I've never been much into the whole Mal and River angle, but this was beautiful. Great job. By the way what's the song?

[bmdgirl94]

It's "Together we will live forever" by Clint Mansell from The Fountain soundtrack. and thank you very much :)

Oh my gods, I love you! I only recently even thought about the whole mal/river thing, but this... this is beautifully done!

- mal + inara

- simon + kaylee

- warrior chick + pilot (i'm bad with names, alright?)

- jayne + random hookers/sluts

river doesn't pair up with anyone, she's psychologically scarred and no relationship with mal or jayne could possibly work. as long as she's on that ship she will stay alone and maybe that's for the best.

^ is what i took from the show, ask joss whedon if there's a river/mal thing, i doubt he'd take the suggestion seriously after he worked so hard to establish mal+inara.

I got a strong feeling that Joss was pushing Mal and River together when I saw the BDM. In one of the extras on the collectors edition, Nathan even said that he thought that Mal and River had the most in common of all the characters. So many clues along the way. Oh what could have been. I think you could have made this video with genuine moments from the tv series and the BDM. I don't think you needed the fake shots. An enjoyable video, nonetheless. Thank you!

mal and river? really? ick.

[IYerfdog]

The description doesn't match the show situation. Mal has feelings for Inara (and vice versa), who (Inara), interestingly, is dying of a terminal illness (Morena Baccarin, who plays Inara, has confirmed this), so Mal's feelings toward Inara may be based on sympathy. Plus at the time of the series, Mal is 49, River is 17, and I don't think the show's setting featured a Renaissance social culture.

This is very well done. Could you please tell me how you took the footage of Firefly and Serenity in order to edit it? Thank you

Good job

[Voodooday2]

Great editing I my self am all about Rayne but enjoyed it.

[56Edify]

Mal loves Inara. Only in someones wierd fantasy world could he and River be an item. Since your a chick....... I figure that explains this stretch of logic and reason.

[artemisfan]

great editing! to bad river is like half mals age.

[sciencegirl14]
