Never a Normal Relationship by Lady Cleo (R)

Fandom: FIREFLY
Pairing: Jayne/River
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] lady_cleo2001

Why this must be read:

I didn't really grok the whole Rayne thing until I read this fic. Lady Cleo creates a wonderful cast of secondary characters in the form of Jayne's family, giving them all memorable personalities that explain perfectly well why Jayne turned out the way he did. And the angst and love between Jayne and River is so perfectly plausible here, especially in the way that they have to build a life for themselves out of false memories. Even if you don't really like River and Jayne together, this is a wonderful look at how the two could pair up, given the right circumstances. And if I had parents like Jayne's, I'm not sure I would've ever left home.
