Whedonland 'Ya, I ship it,' challenge: Rayne

[lunaspec_gimmy]

Below, I am going to try and explain the reasons that made me a rayne shipper. I know many people don’t understand this ship, but I am going to try anyway, not least because I think that the fanfiction written for this pair is some of the best in the fandom. Here goes, and as it’s me, it’s a list

Firstly, I must disclaim that I'm scanning random flists of my flist because I can't sleep, so some/much of this may not make sense

Awesome. I must also disclaim that I wrote this in fifteen minutes in order to enter it for a challenge before Glee came on, so I knew I was missing out a whole bunch of good points, so thank you for doing the legwork! I think insomnia suits you. Maybe I should direct everyone who reads the entry downwards and say, yes, continuation in the comments...
Your point about Jayne 'letting River be' was one of the main things that I regretted not posting immediately after I did it. I think it's also tied to the fact that they're equally 'weapon-like' and matched more evenly in terms of combat, so the threat they pose to each other is less. They can both accept a life where violence and death is going to play a large part.
Thanks for commenting!
