Meegzi actually wrote an excellent Jayne/Kylee story set during "Serenity" called "In A Flash" which I can totally see.

Yeah, Mal wouldn't like it for sure.

But what if it was set up like Jayne watching Kaylee and Simon. A little jealous, not knowing how to act. Wanting to step up but caring so much to be afraid to. A nice contradiction for Jaynes character.

One thing with Mr Wheldon's characters, is they tend to evolve, changed by events. I think we will see Jayne change quite a bit over time. Think of the scene at the end of Jaynestown with him not unstanding why the mudder died for him. He was more disturbed by it than he would have been if his outward character was the only thing going on is his head. Also the fact he is sending cash home to his family, never would have guessed it until I read it.

I think the Kaylee / Simon relationship will grow, until something happens and Kaylee will move on Jayne. Likely after the tough guy turns uncharacteristicly puppyish at some point.

I would have to agree with this sentiment. I'm sure any feeling Jayne would have for Kaylee are purely platonic. If not, being the brute he is, he would have acted on it by now. And since we have seen no evidence of him making any moves on Kaylee, I highly doubt we ever would have.

Select to view spoiler:

In The Message Kaylee and Simon are definitely closer at the end, there is a show of their hand holding, so after at the beginning Simon messed up in the end he’s there for here, and shes accepting the emotional support.
But in Heart of Gold, which we now have (lots of) evidence to suggest comes after that Kaylee is still not getting any from Simon, and mentioning it in a conversation about man-whores.

What I found odd about that is in Objects, after this exchange:

SIMON
Naked. Yes. And, uh, on top of the statue of Hippocrates.
(Kaylee laughs)
Can you just picture me?

KAYLEE
What, naked?
(teasing)
Oh, well, hmm. Let's see. I'm gonna have to conjure up a... Yeah, that's-that's gonna be difficult.

I had just assumed they had actually hooked up and Kaylee was just being 'ironic like'.

I wonder how much is left over from when the order was different. I kind of wish that they just stole some scenes (actually I really wish, then there would be even more Firefly to look forward to on the DVD) and those scenes (in Objects in Space) explained why Inara was staying. That way some of the stuff that doesn’t make sense might. Or then again might not, because they were still awkward in that same episode and ones that came after it (all two of them other than HoG).

You know I never considered a Jayne and Kaylee hook up. I mean the educated, sophisticated Simon and the homespun, bubbly Kaylee seem so trapped in each other's orbits.

Of course, what happens say if some blue handed boys find Simon and Kaylee?

Mr. Bluehands reaches into his jacket and pulls out his magic wand while Simon and Kaylee cringe away. As his hand comes up with his whining death wand, an odd smile on his face, Jayne's face comes into the shot behind his, a grimace of determination. Jayne's hand slaps over Bluehand's mouth. A quick shot from behind and to one side as we see Jayne has his big Bowie knife out and buries it in Bluehand's back.

As Jayne let's the body fall to the ground, Bluehand #2 steps up behind Jayne. The much smaller man gives Jayne a kidney punch that throws him past Simona nd Kaylee and into the wall.

Bluehand #2 casually bends over and picks up the wand from Bluehand's corpse. He brandishes it in front of him and steps up to dispose of Simon and Kaylee, the brother of Bluehand's smile plastered on his face.

As Jayne leaps from out of the shot onto Bluehand #2 and they fall to the ground. At first it seems like Jayne will easily win the day, but Bluehand #2 is inhumanly strong. Each one of his punches knocks Jayne's head back, leaving him reeling. Jayne's punches don't seem to have much affect, except giving Bluehand #2 a wonderfully blood soaked smile.

As Bluehand #2 stands up, dragging an addled Jayne with him Jayne's hands reach up and clamp around his throat. Small choking noises escape, but nothing else. Jayne is like a rag doll, but his arms are twisted into knots with the pressure he is exerting on Bluehand #2's throat. Bluehand #2 won't go down. He staggers around the room for a minute or more, bashing Jayne into various pieces of furniture, but Jayne won't let go either.

Finally, with a sickening rattle, Bluehand #2 collapses. Simon and Kaylee rush to recover Jayne, who has passed out. They struggle to lift his unconscious form, but have to stop in order to remove his clenched hands from the dead Bluehand's throat.

The outer world's Jayne might seem more approachable to Kaylee, assuming he can be redeemed and rehabilitated. It's not that he's incapable of proper thinking, it is that nobody has ever challenged him to do so. Jayne and Kaylee and Simon might make for an interesting love triangle.

Of course there's always River and Jayne.

The more I get to know people the more I like my dogs.

I think it's a possiblity. I don't know if I'd say that Simon and Kaylee are a misdirection. It would be very realistic for Jayne to be interested in Kaylee too. It doesn't seem like Kaylee would be adverse to being courted by two men.

Maybe Kaylee would be one of the few (or only)girls Jayne would kiss on the mouth. Some good character development there for the big guy.
