"Oh," Kaylee said. Nothing more, just 'oh.'
"Are you okay with this captain?" Kaylee asked real soft.

"Me?" Mal looked over at her in surprise. "Aren't you worried about River?"

Kaylee shrugged. "I reckon River can take care of herself just fine, and Jayne don't appear to be suffering, but I always figured you and Jayne would end up together, captain, and now Jayne has River and you're alone."

Mal's mouth dropped open. "You knew, too? Why is it that everyone on my whole gorram ship knowed that Jayne were available, excepting me?" he demanded.

"You didn't know?" Kaylee blinked.


This whole thing about Mal not knowing it carcking me up to bits!

I loved Simon's reaction. So harsh, and so believable.
Wow, the whole end with Jayne and River - So beautiful.

Reading the story got me in the mood for some Firefly, and I was watching Jaynestown last night. The first scene of that ep, I so see the point your Zoe made about Jayne following his captain unconditionally for the first time. It's when Jayne's taping a gun to his body and then Mal tells him he can't and why he's questioning something that's already been decided. And then Jayne rips it off. It may just be tape, but the look on his face says it all. Oooooo! All the things I'm noticing.
