Out of sight, out of mind

I have been on sabbatical - apologies. But that can't go on; I miss you guys too much. And I miss writing! So I'm back, although I'm not even sure I can remember how to do this. But I must anyway. So there.

Please consider this small offering, originally inspired by c_quinn, as an apology for my total lameness of late ( Read more... )

*laughs* Awesome.

Jayne would've died before he'd own as much, but Mal was the first one he'd look to when things got a little crazy.

And strangely, momentarily sweet. Jayne's hardly my favorite character in Firefly, but he was fun here. If only because he was so confused.

Oh, and by the way: OMG YOU'RE BACK YOU'RE BACK YOU'RE BACK!!!!

*cough* So how's it going?

You watch him in the series - Mal owns him. Seriously, Mal can get Jayne to shut up just like that. Nobody else can do that.

And what do you mean, hardly your favourite character? Jayne gets all the best lines ...

I am! And I'm psyched :D

It's going great, thanks :) I have a few days off work, and although I'll be away, I'll have email access some of the time, so I hope to catch up. I see you've just posted something and it looks damn tasty, so I'll be into that tomorrow morning, I should think :)

How the hell are you?

This is true. And not just because Mal signs his paycheck. Or would, I guess, if he got...paychecks.

*laughs* It's just because I love Kaylee and Simon and Mal and Zoe and Wash more.

I am! And I'm psyched :D

Well, don't overdo it. I find that crass.

Hah, well, I hope so.

I'm good, I'm taking a bio class over the summer and my classmates are annoying, but I'm doing well in it; I'm about to be a senior and that's terrifying, I'm going to be in London in July, so that's...exciting. Overall, good times.

*laughs* Right. "Ten per cent of nothin' is ... nothin' ... and carry the nothin' ..."

Well, don't overdo it. I find that crass.

*is suitably chastened. Sorta'.*

Hah, well, I hope so.

Yeah ... sortakinda couldn't wait, so I'm reading it now!

Cool. What's your big class?

Also - there's no way in hell you want to hook up in London ... do you? I get that you're shy so I don't want to push, but it would be truly, truly awesome. If you wanted, and if I could manage it.

OMG this is fantastic! Hee, Claude speaking Cantonese- there's something super awesome about that. And apparently he's invested in some way with the Tams, which of course provides me with the very interesting new bit of personal canon that Simon and River are distant Petrelli descendants. Odd that Claude would choose Jayne to talk to, of all people. The one who's proven himself to be capable of betrayal- though I'm not sure when this is taking place in Firefly canon. Anyway, I'm babbling. Absolutely wonderful to see something new from you, dear! What have you been up to in the meantime?

Quite the linguist, is Claude. Much to Bennet's chagrin (<-- hey would you look at that? My own personal canon still live and kickin'!)

LOL! Oh, it would so fit! I love it.

I deliberately left that flexible, but I suspect it's before Ariel. And I think if there's any real conversation to be had, Claude'll talk to Mal - but he just enjoys baiting Jayne, if only because it's so easy.

Thank you! It's lovely to be back.

What have you been up to in the meantime?Working my ass off! Hard. But all good - work is ( ... )

Oh is it? Heh, so Claude picked up all those languages way faster than Bennet? Intriguing. And, yes, that would annoy dear Noah to no end.

Oh, it would so fit! I love it.
Actually, visiblemarket once taunted me quite cruelly with the possibility of Firefly!Plaude in which Peter was at the Academy with River and gets busted out by I think Nathan, and Claude's the captain of a Firefly-class ship. I couldn't help thinking of that during this fic. But in a way that made this fic all the more enjoyable, I promise!

*snort* No kidding. Heh, Mal probably sent him over there to mess with Jayne in the first place.

But all good - work is going great. Really well.May I ask what you're up to? Just a general outline, I'm curious as to what could have stolen your attention from us ( ... )

I think I have a story somewhere where it's implied that Claude was always better at Russian because Bennet could never shake his American accent ... Proximity, maybe, but I don't recall!

Works for me! And slowly, we weave together a new canon ... ;)

Hee! Yes. Mal and Claude have already concluded business. Claude's on his own time now. And I think we all know that that's when the bad stuff happens. To other people ;)

YOU'RE BACK! HOLY CRAP! I AM SO HAPPY! AND ELATED! AND THRILLED! AND ALL THOSE OTHER WORDS THAT DON'T REALLY DESCRIBE THE PURE JOY THAT IS SEEING YOU AGAIN!

....

My caps-key froze when my jaw hit the floor. I was stunned.

And this was just wonderful. And I missed you. And I love you.

That's the kind of welcome that keeps a girl warm at night!

*grabs you and smooches and won't let go*

So glad you enjoyed this, though not nearly as glad as I am to be back.

You're my favorite book, to blatantly steal a song. *kiss*

See, I'd never have known that was stolen if you hadn't told me!

I never read Firefly fic but this was great. :) Of course it makes sense that Jayne and Claude would have a conversation of snark and awesome.

But most importantly: OMG HI, HOW ARE YOU?

Thank you! (And btw, neither do I! But it was something c_quinn requested, so I couldn't refuse. It just took me, like, a year. But we'll move on from that ... ;)

I think that's why she asked for it ;)

LOL - I'm doing great, thanks. How are you? Long time no see ...

It's okay. She asked me for some fic too that I'm on about month three of trying to write. *laughs*

Good. :) Still going through the job search, which is really sucky now. I have a part-time job to hold me over, and I'm trying to up my Plaude output. Which I'd rather be writing fic than working anyway. If only it gave me money...

She has a way with that! But I guess there's no rush :)

Glad you've got something and that you're doing well. In fact, let me count my blessings, because if you had full-time work, you'd have less time to write. So, yay? ;)

Hey, good to see you around again.

And messing with Jayne is guaranteed entertainment.

I love it when people mess with Jayne - if only because I know one day there's going to be revenge ... ;)
