I love young Jayne! Your description of him as a wild and unpredictable tempest is so vivid.
The back story here of both Ysandra and Bethany, mostly implied really sets the scene. Jayne's distrust and stubborness makes me anxious to read the next installment, I want to know what happens to him.
I like this idea of Jayne being picked up and the way the family doesn't want it to happen (even if they know it's a better chance).
Hmm. It makes me wonder about Jayne's evident love of whores in the show. Sure, it could have been part of the act, but (in the context of this AU) I wonder if he really does love whores for something they represent that he doesn't?
Interesting! I hadn't given it that much thought yet, since he's still so little at this point in the fic.
But I think you may be right. There's an honesty about a working woman that Jayne would appreciate. Plus, I think that he knows. I mean, he KNOWS what it's like and there's not a lot of pleasure involved for them. I think that maybe he enjoys giving them pleasure he knows that they lack in most encounters.
Possibly.
I'd like to see how he develops through the series... there might be more or less to it. I don't know.
Oh wow, this is the most unique backstory for Jayne that I've ever seen. Is there more? ...I've yet to look through pages of journals for the next part, but if your table is to be followed it ends here. I hope there is more, or more coming because this is really an excellent story, very well-written and creative. I've also read a couple of other stories by you and enjoyed those as well. Hope to read more =)

I DO intend for there to be more. But as of yet...nothing. I am attending NotFlan right now, so hopefully that will get the creative juices flowing.
Thank you!
