a Mal-was-right fic, except instead of Dom, Arthur was the dreamer

Heh. Yeah, that's pretty much what I went for, I like this way of putting it. :)

the way every scene doesn't seem to be connected except they are

There was a Wild Mass Guess on TVTropes that said everything in the movie happened exactly as we saw - as in, when there were cuts between shots, things didn't continue happening behind the screen, they just continued directly from one scene to another. I was trying for something like that, I think. :D

Thank you!
