Real shiny.

Jayne's childhood! He's appreciative, he's tough, and he's smart. He's also lost a lot.

His brother selling himself makes a lot of sense in my little Jayne worldview.

Great job.

Well, I remember in "The Train Job" there was some mention of indentured servitude, and I've always wanted to work that in somewhere. It makes sense that--given the costs with terraforming--that people wouldn't have enough money without selling themselves for x period of time. That's how a lot of people got to America or Australia during colonization.

Wow. Hopping off my tangent. *g* Thanks! It's my first Jayne fic. I was putting it off for a long time, and then the bunny humped my leg for all he was worth this afternoon. LOL.

**Pictures Jayne humping your leg.**

I've only ever written Jayne. Well, there's only two fics, so that's not saying much. And I didn't envision him as being my favorite or envision me writing his voice. But then...

Yes, there was humping.

He kind of pops as a character.

I find him as interesting/intriguing as Mal, if in a whole different way. It's real easy to dismiss Jayne as "the dumb one", but after obsessive watching, I realized Jayne isn't really dumb. He's not smart, but he's not dumb. And that makes him interesting, because he is so easy to overlook. And he knows it.

So realistic and consistent with the tiny bit we know about Jayne's background that it feels like canon.

And beautifully written! Very, very nice. Thank you!

[poisontaster]

Hee! Thanks!

I'm sleepy and thus lack proper words but this is FABULOUS, Pt! Love the glimpse of Jayne's childhood - it feels very...canonical. Love Jayne's Ma being a school-teacher.

[poisontaster]

Fabulous is always the right word, dahling! *g* I don't know...I seem to be on this "what was their childhood like?" thang, don't you think? Still, as long as it works and nobody's complaining.... *g*

[mona1347]

You definitely won't find ME complaining! I love "childhood" stories about my fannish characters. It's probably my favorite fic-genre.

Aw, this is great. It's very... Jayne, yet still shows a different side of him.

[poisontaster]

*claps hands gleefully* Thanks!

Really, really like this. A small snapshot of the childhood that made Jayne who he is :)

[poisontaster]

Thank you! I wasn't sure I'd be able to write Jayne, so I'm glad it came out.
