Why this must be read: This is a short scene from Jayne's POV just post the BDM. The characterization and voice are simply exquisite for Jayne, though also really excellent for River. This story is short, but packed to the very corners with emotion and world-building and character insights. I especially love the way missmollyetc handles Jayne's reaction to Wash's death and River's presence; it's very subtly and deftly done, but so much of who Jayne is and how he feels about both of these people and the world in general is evident in his actions and reactions here.
It weren't like he'd expected, to be rutting factual. He'd seen them hwoon dahn Tong Meng working their pasty asses off, but in his head it hadn't stuck. Not really, even though they all knew full well the Alliance were good for one thing and not much for that, moppin' up the shit they done that got decent folk sent to hell. But the flight deck looked like it'd come straight off the assembly line, not a corpse, nor a broken wire to be found. Smelled like industrial soap all the way from the chair that weren't Wash's to the scraped up metal flooring that didn't have a lick of Wash's blood on it, 'cept in the corners that were hard to get to when a creepifying man with a sword was staring down your fish-belly pale neck.
Somethin' funny about that. Somethin'…fong luh, and Jayne wasn't in the business of anything ruttin' crazy. He come up from his bed with a purpose, Lord take it, and now…didn't seem right that no one crew had laid hands on Wash's remains, cleaned his blood and shit off the decks themselves. Didn't seem right for the pilot's station to be so newly minted.
