016: The Fine Print

Title: The Fine Print
Author: Redrikki
Rating: PG
Word Count: 100
Prompt: 016, Wash
Character: Jayne


Jayne hadn’t signed on for this. He’d joined up for his own bunk, and a decent cut of some high-paying crime, not to start a war with the Alliance or be chased by no gorram Reavers. He still couldn’t figure how the hell he’d gotten talked into it. There weren’t no profit in it, and since when was loyalty to this bunch worth getting killed over? Since when did they matter? Jayne wasn’t the type to get all teary-eyed just ‘cause some smart-ass pilot died, but here he was. He’d signed on for the money, he wasn’t supposed to care.

Lovely

Thanks.

I really like this. I was just thinking yesterday that there wasn't enough Jayne=fic around.

[redrikki.livejournal.com]

And he's such a fun character too. Although, it is a little tricky to get his voice down.

[rayruz.livejournal.com]

That's really beautiful. Great look into Jayne's psyche.

[redrikki.livejournal.com]

Thank you for saying. He's a lot more caring and sentimental than he wants to appear.

[rayruz.livejournal.com]

Definitely, I really wish the series would have gone on longer so we could have seen more of that side to him.

Really great Jayne voice here and this is exactly how I think he would deal with Wash's death. You did a really great job with this.

[redrikki.livejournal.com]

Thank you. He seems like the kind of man would be confused and angry that he was sad.

Gorram right. Spot on.

[redrikki.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Nice icon.

Aw, the softer side of Jayne. Lovely.

[redrikki.livejournal.com]

He wore his mom's hat so I knew he had one. I'm glad you liked it.

Great characterization of Jayne. I really like the fact that you took the prompt and did something unexpected with it, choosing to look at Wash's death from Jayne's point of view rather than Zoe's or someone else who was closer to Wash. Love the last two lines. Just perfect.

[redrikki.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I figured Zoe would be the obvious choice to write about, but his death would effect everyone. Even Jayne.

Perfect Jayne voice! Very nice drabble.

[redrikki.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

A brilliant look into the mind of Jayne
