This hurt to read. Aching, beautiful and layered with loss. Both obvious, and not. Wonderful writing.

I've really enjoyed your Jayne/River stories and this one just makes it complete.

Hope you are well and enjoying your life.

Amazing. It teared me a little bit. Loved the story.

Wow, that was a beautiful piece. I can't even say it was too short, because it was the perfect length for the story you had there. Made me get a lump in my throat, it was so well done. Now I have to check out the rest of your work!

:'((

Very moving. You captured a moment in time which is painful, but showed us his acceptance. His watching the scene perfectly captured each crew member. The ending was beautiful. He watched for a minute then went to find Book. Back to his family...on the other side.

Thank you for sharing.

Excuse me a moment - I must have walked through a cloud of dust without realizing. I need to wipe my eyes and clear my throat.

Wow, that was powerful. I haven't read the story you recommended in the Notes, but I assume it wasn't necessary to really feel the blow to the chest I just felt. Have I mentioned how powerful this is? I could literally feel the weight on my chest, and I got just a tad choked up (just like I did the first time I saw the movie). I didn't cry, though! Jayne wouldn't have it.

If this is an indication of your talent as a writer, I can't wait to read the rest of your fic. Well, maybe just the Firefly stuff. For starters, anyway.

Thank you.

Simple, poignant, lovely! I love how you revealed so much about Jayne and his relationship with the crew, and painted such a powerful emotional scene, with so few words.

Oh! This was unexpected. And then I cried.

very very good ficlet.

This was written really well I liked it, although it was sad.

Wow, caught me off guard there. Good on ya. I'll be checking out more of your stuff.

That was so amazing and so very sad. I loved it. No excuse me while I go find some tissues.

Oh that was beautiful. You write river and jayne so well it is no surprise that you can capture him alone so well. I love that he became so much more to the rest of the crew than we ever saw.

That's really lovely. It took me a second to understand in what way he died, as I was assuming it would be some Mal/Jayne fight that sent him packing, but I think it is wonderfully simple and poignant.
