I just found 3_ships and read Daughters of Jersusalem. That's a wonderful story--a terrific balance of sweet, sad, odd, kind, baffled, and luminous. And the occasional moments of funniness! My very favorite was:
River shrugs against the satin and says, "He has nose hairs."
"Mei mei," she says gently, "everybody has nose hairs."
"I know," River says. "That's why I can never tell."
I also really liked River's compliment to Zoe at the end. And that Mal's mind was no longer saying no. Thank you for writing this!
