Very sweet. I love the fitting image of Jayne and River being described as a stomping monster and sprite. : )

Thanks! It's wonderful to hear you liked it! And the juxtaposition of the two.

I love this! I love the chinese--and the translations! I love the playfullness of River, and the typical response from Jayne. I love your resolution, because under all the bluster Jayne has a soft spot, a heart. I'm saving this to memories because I love it. THiS MuCh!

Thanks! It's wonderful to hear you enjoyed the fic and the humor at first followed by something more touching from Jayne!

This is very spot on of the characters personalities. I really loved Jayne change of heart at the end. So very Jayne like.

Thanks! I'm so glad you liked the fic and found them in-character! I love Jayne - he does have a good heart when you can get to it.

It's also good to see the Firefly Fanfic community pick up some here recently as well. It was kind of floundering for a while, glad to see an interest in it again.

I wrote a few different Firefly fics this year and forgot to let people know, so I'll be posting more. You're right that it's a shiney verse that deserves more love.

I love, love, love this! The voices and actions are so them. My eyes teared up a little at the end. Poor River, but she gets to borrow the hat! Such a sweet ficlet.

Thanks! It's wonderful to hear you liked it and thought this fit them!

Poor River, but she gets to borrow the hat!

And hopefully a little bit of residual mother's love goes a long way!
