Ties That Bind
Characters/Pairings: Simon/Kaylee, River, ensemble cast. Basically everyone shows up, but those three are the focus.
Warnings: None
Summary: When Serenity visits Kaylee’s home planet, it turns out that Simon and River’s godfather is the governor of the planet. When he discovers Simon and River’s presence and invites their parents to visit him, things look disastrous for the Tam siblings.
Comments: A long, fun plotty story with an original premise. It’s a nice look at how Simon and River might interact with their parents after, well, everything, and how Simon, in particular, has changed. It’s well-written, and I could not stop reading it because I was flat out fascinated by what was going to happen. The interactions with Kaylee’s family are fun, though frankly, I think they suffered due to being put in the same fic as the Simon meets his parents plot. Just because I thought they could be decently done in a fic on their own, but with meeting Simon’s parents and having Simon and River being held captive by their parents who didn’t believe Simon, frankly, I almost forgot about them. But it’s still a damn good fic.
Multi-chapter put on one page damn you all, complete.
