Heh. That's a nice one

I love it! I love how it fits with the gobsmacked looks on the icon (the physical as well as mental reasons for looking like that).

And if Mal inwardly, real quiet-like, gloated a little bit whenever Jayne sat down just a mite too carelessly, well he wasn't like to admit it.

I love this part. Particularly since I'm thinking yes, Mal, yes you want to admit it.

A man'd have to be psychotic to go looking for harebrained schemes that would lead to challenges of his authority, now wouldn't he?

This is so Mal. I love it. Because some of the things he does - yes. It does seem like he's pushing them for no good reason. And now, I have at least part of the reason. It's lovely.

Thank you!!

I'm thinking yes, Mal, yes you want to admit it.

Oh, he so does. They both do. *nods*

And now, I have at least part of the reason.

*glee* Makes me want to go back and rewatch episodes with slash goggles on. You just know they will both push it to the limits, too. Mal doing crazy things for people Not Jayne, Jayne doing crazy things TO people Mal cares about...

I'm thinking the Scene Where Jayne Almost Died in Ariel. That was when Jayne crossed the line. He got no loving that night. That's why the apples later, that's why the Making Up to the crew. He knew things weren't okay until Mal let him back into his bunk.

*points* Bunny: free to good home.

Of course! Especially Mal. Pushing limits is what he does lol.

That was when Jayne crossed the line. He got no loving that night. That's why the apples later, that's why the Making Up to the crew. He knew things weren't okay until Mal let him back into his bunk.

You can totally see the mental calculation too - apples + apology = action. Probably Mal woud know that's the best he was ever going to get from Jayne, too.

By words, he means 'buttsex' right? No, seriously, this was super cool! I should write yours now or somesink.

[ana_grrl]

he means 'buttsex' right?

Yes. Jayne responds best to a certain of 'discipline'.

I should write yours now or somesink.

Nah! No rush. Also, sorry the fic was so short.

[ana_grrl]

Thank you!

Those are all lovely fun, but the middle one? I really especially adore. You've got an awesome Vala voice. And really, that whole snippet is so canon.

[ana_grrl]

Thanks! I the middle one is my favourite too. I don't know where it came from, but it was very amusing to write.

Niiiiiice. Potential, indeed. That was a cool arc.
