Jayne/River - The Cross [Firefly/Serenity]

"Release me from this cross after all these years.
Oh, call my name and help me with this weight.
Even though it comes far too late."
Please watch in HD with a big screen. ;)
I fell back into a terrible "Firefly" phase and all my Rayne feelings considering the utter and lost possibility of them came back. Everybody agrees that this genius series got cancelled too soon and, in terms of that, most of the greatly written characters never got the possibility to truly develop beyond the movie that answered the questions focusing on River.
So, this is a very extendet version of their dynamic with an obvious twist towards the end (edited by me, so I make them happen). It starts with Jayne not trusting River and wanting her gone from the ship since she only brings trouble. Following the betrayal on Ariel, it focuses more on what Jayne learned about what the Academy did to her and they somehow manage it get along. Trouble and attraction and shenanigans follow. The usual. :D
Besides that, can you imagine what could have been if there had been more seasons? Jayne may be a brute but it was hinted that he saved his money for his family (mother and possibly siblings), so, in the end, all he does is to provide for those he cares about. Which makes him very similiar to Simon already who risked everything to get River back. Now, imagine what could have been if Jayne and Simon and River had to work together and see the similarites and also differences (I do believe Jayne grew up in a stable family compared to whatever River's parents planned with their children) and there slowly develops a trust. Just imagine Jayne turning from being the one who wanted those two away the most in the beginning turning into the one that tries to protect them the most. The possibilities! The feels!
On the other hand, I also love the dynamic of a man as dangerous as Jayne finding his personal nightmare in a girl like River who is an absolute menace if necessary. Plus, they can be really fun together. Exactly my kind of story.
