Why this must be read:
Engrossing story about Jayne and his family, both the one he came from and the one he's joined on Serenity. He gets called home to tend to family business and when he doesn't come back, Mal goes after him to make sure he's all right. I really liked the use of all the crewmembers here - everyone's in character, and the interactions between them all ring true - and I enjoyed the original characters, especially Jayne's sister, Charlie. I also liked this background for Jayne, and the insight into him this story gives.
"My mama's dying," he said flatly, not breaking stride on his way to the door. "My brother wanted me to get myself home, if I was able. Have to tell him that I ain't." He turned the corner and they listened to the metallic ringing of his boots on the catwalk down to the cargo bay.
Mal went ahead and let himself curse then, trying to avoid the seven pairs of accusing eyes aimed his way. "Well, if he'd said that first of course I'd've told him he could go," he muttered, pushing his chair back. "I'm going to talk to him right now, quit looking at me like that..." The last was mostly for Kaylee and Inara, who between them had perfected the art of not saying a word and still making a man feel about six inches tall and ashamed of himself.
