Okay, so this is it, no more, finis. End.

I can't believe I wrote 100 of these things and kept it coherent all through. Well, there you go. Now I can continue the million other fics I have.

Thank you for reading.

TIME AND EFFORT.

Something was wrong and Kaylee knew it. Not bad wrong, just different wrong. A little part of her couldn't help think about the way Jayne had been before. So open to her, laid out bare and just so generous with himself. Always giving.

He was just so tight now, all coiled up like he was waiting for the next strike. Like he was wary of her, like she was the one about to attack. It made her edgy and brittle, trying to work around him, trying to make it right for him.

She asked Inara. Not that she was expecting the answer she was looking for. Inara told her that she needed to give it time and patience. Time and patience, that was all fine for Inara, everything Inara did was slow and smooth and perfect. Inara saw her clients for

I know what it is, I know what it is!

*dances around*

I couldn't wait and am reading this sneakily at work!

This whole series was so great, and I loved this last installment. There are so many good scenes.

Jayne shooting the bird, the bath tub, Simon's realisation! All wonderful.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Your collection has been a most interesting read. Your writing, dialog, depiction of characters, humor, angst, tension, development are a real joy to read. I am happy that you rose to the challenge of the Joss 100. Good skies to you on your other writing ventures!

breathless, speecheless, crying, laughing...i'm so glad i checked this before going to bed

i can't believe this is 100. this has been amazing. every prompt was a high (even the ones that made me pout)

Congratulations! Excellent work!

Do we get a #101 where everyone is told about Kaylee's condition? (I knew the minute she thought she smelled something in the water - had the same problem with my first).

(ps. i've often logged on as anonymous, but am happy to finally joined in!)

This was such a great story, I really liked your Jayne and Kaylee. The thing I really appreciate is how you put them together without making Simon into a real jerk (sometimes there's a little too much of that in the Jaylee fic). It all held together really well through the prompts.
But, can you really end it here?! I mean a little Jayne or Jane would be just so much fun to read about! Oh! They could name her Jaylee!

You did it, you actually did all 100 of 'em. *cheers* Woo-hoo!

They were all fantastic, of course. And of this lot, my favourite little bit was River putting the "Jayne and" above the "Kaylee's Room" sign.
Perfection!

Now, if only SOMEONE *veiled hint* would write a few expectant Jaylee vignettes based in this alternate 'Verse...

Congratulations Jacqui. A remarkable feat, and a really credible Jaylee story. And now there'll be a little Jayleyette.


Hope you decide to write some more

Fabulous work, Jacqui! Congrats on writing all 100--and on keeping the continuity going! Not easy, I'm sure. *g*

Looking forward to reading your future efforts.

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

She's pregnant! And you leave it there! Without showing us Jayne's reaction??! You're evil Pure PURE evil.

Still, congrats! You finished! I am so very proud of you.

A wonderful series - a lovely mixture of drama, comedy, and romance.

You also showed nice character development with Jayne that didn't feel forced.

Keeping Simon mopey was also true to life - kudos for not falling into the trap of making everything 'perfect' for the ending.

You're on my favorites list!

No! You can't end it there!

I love how Jayne moves in, so him.

This has got to be on of my favourite fics ever, so well written, a bit a suspense, mixed emotions. So good. Congrats and if you ever *cough*cough* feel like writing any more on it I'm sure there would be plenty happy readers out here.

Great work!

*SQUEEEEEEEEE!*
I just read this whole thing, straight through, and oh it's wonderful! Pieces and The Best Deceptions are some of the best stories I've ever read...thank you!

I agree, though....no fair leaving it here! I need Jayne's reaction, my usually eager imagination is utterly failing to come up with something in character. Gah =)
