"Haircuts and Kings" by ArtemisPrime (PG-13)
Note: Rating provided by reccer; oh, and apologies for before on accidentally double reccing. I honestly believe I haven't done that again. *ducks head*
Fandom: FIREFLY
Pairing: N/A; Gen; Jayne, River, Kaylee

Why this must be read: This story is very good at capturing Jayne's seeming contradictions of nature: his gruffness; his rough, crude nature; his soft spot for Kaylee and River; and his devotion(love) for his mother. It is also a very good look at the two girls and their relationship with Jayne. There is some lovely humor in this piece, and it is over-all a true and touching picture of these three characters.
It was the giggle that stopped him in mid-stride. With a slow turn, he glared at the young woman. “Somethin’ funny?” he growled.
Her smile widened then was quickly covered by a small hand. “Sorry, Jayne.” Another giggle escaped. Another hand slapped over the first.
Jayne’s eyes narrowed further. “Don’t much like bein’ laughed at, ‘specially not by little girls with teddy bears on their work coverin’s.”
Kaylee pouted. “That were just mean, Jayne Cobb.”
“No meaner’n makin’ fun,” he shot back. He opened his mouth to continue, but stopped, seeing the woman’s face fall like that.
