The worry from the others, and River's ever-present and ever-growing hold on Jayne, and, also, the use of the word hibernating? I'm a big lover of the Jayne=bear descriptions, my favorite out of the handfuls of Jayne=predatory animal imagery, and your ability to flesh that further out than just a few words makes me all giddy. Between that, and the hot and cold here, this made me all kinds of happy.
She was life.That one line, for me, is love because it has so many different connotations ( ... )

I want to be you when I grow up. I am fair certain you don't >;0) but as I recall your skills at the keyboard aren't too shabby either.(Ahem, Termination, ahem)
River=Innocent...I think not... what was done to her made the significance of age and cognition almost irrelevant to my thinking. And what has been done to him by extension lends credence to their connection transcending.
I have loved watching/listening to River, and more especially Jayne for a year or so now and he is still telling me things that rock me back on my heels, mostly because he surprises me regularly...
From your profile: Newly blooming empathic abilities are making things difficult, despite how well they let me peek into some characters' heads- that to me is one of the wonders I am discovering. The continued hot/cold, the bearcat imagery, the smoke, the coolness- they all are present whenever fingers hit keyboard and the words flow, leaving me pushing back on my haunches afterward to say "Whoa... I didn't see ( ... )

That actually happened today - wrote the entire River/Jayne/Book scene flashback in, like, fifteen minutes, and it looks good, and feels just right. Very pleased, especially since Simon's still being a brat with me.

Exactly - so I get irritated when people write her as too innocent, or too childlike if that makes any sense. She's curious, that's her nature, but she's not stupid, and even when she's at her craziest, she knows what's going on, you know? The overly innocent, almost comically virginal River tires me, and frustrates me, if that makes any sense. It's why I love your take on her so damn much - it's very her, and everything she does fits who she is, you know? More than that, your take on her inner voice, self awareness fits. Socially speaking, she's not quite as shiny as Kaylee, she was ( ... )

Folks always write River as being the brat, but Simon has a spoiled older brother characteristic to him...
Huzzah on the Jayne-River-Book scene getting read!
...almost comically virginal River...
Yeah, >:0( I tend to lean the other way... she is wise so far beyond her years and that which the Alliance/Blue Hands took only deepened that awareness, not lessoned it.
Somewhere in the Five No's (third or fourth No, I tread really cautiously into the realm of innocence and stolen things...still not certain I like how it came out, but then, such is life, what we see develops over time into a richer pallette of colors and more complex interactions... I am finding my fascination with the evolution of their life becoming deeper.

As always, your words are too kind... I am fortunate that the muse lets my fingers type what my mind barely knows is there...

They are complementary opposites, yin and yang. Well, as much as opposites can actually be, whatever they are. So, if she is life, then is he death? Or is he also life (and so, conversely, she also death, since each one is the same)? The opposite of a fundamental truth can often be an equally fundamental truth, after all.
Hmm. I feel so inquisitive after reading Rene Girard.

As always, I thank you for your wonderful words of support, observation and curiousity.

This one was, in fact, a feel-good story...hard to imagine, but you've done it! Maybe I'll live here a while before it wisps away. Thanks!
