Yeah, I caved and joined the Joss_100. So sue me, although I'd really appreciate it if you didn't.

It's supposed to be Jayne/Kaylee, but it's more Kaylee/Simon at this point. We're only up to 11, though, so there's 89 to go.

Disclaimer : They ain't mine. If they were, I'd have killed small fluffy animals on whatever altar I could find to have kept them on air. Also, there'd be a lot more nekkid Jaylee scenes.

ENJOY. (please comment, don't make me beg, or send me feedback: wily_one24@yahoo.com.au).

A WAR OF SORTS.

She got lost in a war one night.

Not that she had ever been to a real war, she'd seen pictures, but she supposed that there probably hadn't been a playpen in the middle of the barracks, with two very young squalling toddlers in it. The missiles and bombs, all the mud caked into her skin, the dampness of three day old clothes sticking to her and all the dead bodies that surround her felt right, though.

"Gorram it, Kaylee!" Mal yelled at her from behind a carefully constructed wall of cards. "Can't you control those boys? We're fighting a battle here."

"It's about time someone told her, Sir." She saw Zoe lean around the cards and point two fingers off into the distance. "Bang. Bang."

"Good shot, Zoe!" Kaylee frowned as Mal grinned. "Those damn women won't get close to us now!"

She looked off into the distance. High on a hill, amid explosions and gunfire, sat a table with a white cloth and a tall vase filled with blue roses. Seated at either side, heads tall and backs straight, were Inara and River, pouring tea into delicate china cups. They didn't seem at all concerned with the chaos around them.

"Like gnats." River whispered and Kaylee heard it, even over the distance. "Buzzing. Buzzing."

"I do wish they'd stop soon, it's very irritating." Inara placed her tea

Dear lord, Jacqui. This is---astounding. So many voices perfectly flowing, some insanity, some love, lots of hurt, iron responsibility the crew members feel for each other, feeling it for different reason.

You've got the gift, and we're lucky you've time to share it with us.

Amazing lines in here, but if I hadta pick a fave: ..."and his nails pressed so hard into his palms that his hands would be slick with blood. He'd never be able to stop the thundering in his chest until he saw her, during the day, all bright and shiny and happy and he wearin' his fingerless gloves all day so's no one would see the marks."

Sigh. Our Boy Jayne, hurting and hiding. That's him in a box, for certes.

I love how realistically not-easy you're making this. While there's a place for fluff, stories like this are so much more satisfying!
