Ohmy... there's so many ways I/J shouldn't work, and you've tumbled them down one by one. Love the voices, love the style and I've fallen for Jayne not being aprehensive of getting caught.

It is fun to work around their polarness and see what fits… pun intended. ;p

I have a feeling if it had been Mal’s voice at the door, Jayne would have been singing a different tune. Thank you for your thoughts!

Wow. You never cease to amaze me. Outstanding!

romanceguru March 1 2008, 22:39:18 UTC

Aw, thank you. You’re too nice. : )

Just being honest.

It was nice not to have to write a "we love each other so much fic" because people do in fact use one another quite often in RL, selfish beings we are…

This actually was an idea brewing a while back that started as "the only way I could see Jayne and Inara getting together" type of scenario. I hadn’t planned on continuing, but maybe there could be another tryst or two in the future? We’ll see.

Oh, and thanks!

I like your explanation about why Jayne didn't wake up! I also like the interaction between Jayne and Inara here. He would be the ultimate payback to Mal, even if the Captain never knew it.

Jayne's brushing his teeth and thoughts about his hands on Inara's skin are great. And I like that she has to restrain herself from humming at the feel of Jayne's teeth.

This fic will be a great addition to the masterlist and you should post it at ji_beyond_this as well :D

You’re right, it’s a great looming plot point. I wonder if we’d “meet the real Mal” if he ever found out? :)

Thanks, I guess the little things do stand out more if you let the actions speak for themselves. *takes notes*

Oooo, nice. I was wondering if there was an Jayne/Inara community. I’d be happy to post there. : )

Yep - my love for your work remains strong. To see you doing a J/I makes me gleeful in so many ways. I don't know when that pair grew on me, but they have taken over (for the moment since I'm sure Jayne will move on to the next person soon enough). ;)

*adds to memories*

♥ <-- where did my heart go? *glares* :P

romanceguru March 2 2008, 02:59:32 UTC

Well, that makes sense. I wondered why I never saw fic from you, separate journal of course. *adds* I’ll go check out your Jayne/Inara stuff to see if I’m doing wrong. ;-p

I’m really glad you approve! I do think being objective might’ve helped a little. You know, the lack of cloudiness that gets in the way of your better judgment when writing a fic?

This pairing is really a breath of fresh air, and they still have the polarness that I love in a ship. Only, neither of them wants to stab the other. *contemplates* ;-p

And yay! Memories!

cunning_hat March 2 2008, 03:22:42 UTC

Trust me, you don't want to look at my stuff to see how it's done right. I'm far too... not right. ;) *adds you back* Yes, that journal (initially) was my super-seekrit-nobody-can-know journal. After being in fandom for about... *thinks* a month, it didn't last long. Still - I don't advertise it at CM (or ever post to ff_fanfic). It's my only little corner of the verse that flies under most radars - just the way I like it. =D

When it comes to pairings, I'm definitely a 'whatever floats your boat' kind of gal. I like to see people branch out and do something different and when it's an author I particularly enjoy, it's all the better.

I love those two together. Their dynamic is really fun to explore.

romanceguru March 2 2008, 03:44:31 UTC

Ah, and here I was thinking I had gone blond-er. You were hiding the goods. ; )

I’m with you on the people branching out thing. I know I like it when an established writer takes my OTP on, their perspective is always fresh. Thank you for the compliment and you know I adore you for your open-mindedness. ♥
