Dear Ma, were back from the salvage job and done real good selling what we got Mal even let us have downtime to celebrate. Cause except for me and Zoë that didn’t exactly go smooth and folks are at outs with each other again see complications. Heres some things for you and Mattie Love Jayne

Dear Jayne, you were gone a long time I worried the wrap fits perfect you shouldnt be spending all your coin on me though. Complications mean youre alive boy I told you that before remember. Howd you celebrate with some girl that dont even know your name Im betting what happened with the others? Matties slid back some Love your Mother

Dear Ma, so what if she didnt know my name we had us a good time and my ashes got hauled. What do you mean don’t spend my coin on you youre my Ma. Doc got bent outta shape cause while they were out someone asked the crazy girl to dance. I thought Mattie was better? Love Jayne

Dear Jayne, it was a lot of money is all and I worry for you I know Im your Ma got the marks to prove it. Getting your ashes hauled aint the same boy and you know it youre gonna lose the good as well as the bad if you aint careful. Mattie caught a cold but hes better already its wonderful. What happened with River and Simon finish the story Love your Mother

Dear Ma, Mas shouldn’t talk about marks and such. The Doc and Mal got on their high ropes about the girl dancing with anyone and Kaylee and Nara got cross they came back all angry the arguefying lost me and I went to my bunk and missed the rest. Moonbrain hid and couldnt be found everybody got worked up Love Jayne

Dear Jayne, those two men I should bang their heads together Rivers real pretty and wants to be normal whats wrong with that I don’t blame the others for being cross. Where was Zoë during all this? You and me being straight with each other is what keeps us together. Is River awright? Love your Mother

Dear Ma, cept for jobs Zoë don’t go off the boat much she was in her bunk the whole time. I found the crazy girl the dog was with her it aint hard to track. Kaylee and Nara made a fuss and still aint talking to the others its like living in one of them shows on the Cortex Im wondering bout leaving. We did more crime heres some coin Love Jayne

Jayne you make sure Zoë gets off the boat next time shes the one needs the break. How are the other girls? I used the coin to take us on a trip I aint been away from home places ever we had a time I can tell you. Dont you go getting worked up bout the uncomfortableness Serenitys the best place youve ever been Love your Mother

Dear Ma, I aint leaving Serenity dont think I could thats me being straight with you awright that dont mean nothing though just means Im settled. Ill try bout Zoe but shes hard headed that one Kaylees leg aint healing proper crazy girls fine Nara and Mal made up and he got us another job says well make out good Love Jayne

Dear Jayne, You surprised me boy and Im pleased it does mean something you know. Youre more hard headed than Zoë anytime you do what I say. Kaylee sounded real down last letter whats happening there Im sending some more stuff and some captures Love your Mother

Dear Ma, the girls went crazy over your gifts did you have to make that thing for the dog aint it sissified enough? Kaylees worried bout not being able to stay working on her girl with her leg Moonbrain says. Captain went all quiet and said that aint ever gonna happen. Mattie looks real ugly in that shirt Love Jayne

Dear Jayne, I bought that shirt dont tease so Mattie looks almost his real age in it I think hes still doing good and is gonna work in the store again. Mr Thames aint got no family left and wants to leave it to Mattie I think it’s a good idea I want him to have something when Im gone Love your Mother

Dear Ma, you aint gonna be gone for a long time but Mattied be a good storekeeper being so good at numbers and such. The job went good again we stole some ugly assed statues and got paid a mint for it. I cant send much this time were all putting in for smoothers for Kaylee Docs gonna have to break her leg again dont seem right her having to hurt like that Love Jayne

Dear Jayne, tell your Captain yes of course Ill gladly look after Kaylee and make sure she rests up. I put the word out and everyones bringing small engines and such she can work on in bed thatll keep her busy. Don’t worry bout the coin were doing good right now with Mattie working. Hows everyone else? Love your Mother

Dear Ma, we gotta pick up the freight for Hawkins Moon and deliver it first another 3 weeks maybe till we get to you. Doc aint gonna operate till we get there hoping Kayleell be fine by then and not need it. I made some coin selling custom made bullets here it is. Zoe went out last stop her and the captain had a good brawl Love Jayne

Dear Jayne, I buried the money youre good to us boy. Were gonna have a dance before Kaylee has to go through all that pain. Matties teasing like you its good to see hes gonna introduce River to all the young bucks Mal and Simonll be too polite to criticise. Were looking forward to the visit even though it’s a sad time for Kaylee Love your Mother

Got behind on reading these and the Corresponding Notes, but am now all caught up. I'm loving the story you're telling through these letters, and how we're seeing the same events through individual POV's. You've done an excellent job keeping everyone in character as they move on with their lives post-BDM.

Looking forward, as always, to the next letter. *g*

Thanks for still reading - there was a bit of a gap since the last chapter! I really enjoy stories which look at the same event from different viewpoints and wanted to try it. Glad you think it's working and that I kept the everyone in character! *dances*

I love reading these so much. It's like getting real post from the crew. :)

I especially liked Jayne chiding his Ma for talking about her "marks" and her making something for the dog.

Are Kaylee and Simon having problems? I kind of got that undercurrent, but maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part. *crosses fingers and hopes for some Jaylee*

So, another visit, huh? You gonna write this one? *pokes*

[bookaddict43.livejournal.com]

Even Jayne can be embarrassed by his Ma! *grins* I haven't a clue what she made for the dog and need to know for River's chapter...

I think Kaylee and Simon might be having problems - but how it will turn out; who knows? *evil grin*

Yep - another visit and I have no idea how I'm going to write it!

Poor Kaylee! Simon must be going out of his mind, with this and with River starting to flirt with boys. And Mal getting all upset about it too! *g*

Kaylees worried bout not being able to stay working on her girl with her leg Moonbrain says. Captain went all quiet and said that aint ever gonna happen. Damn straight.

[bookaddict43.livejournal.com]

Yes poor Simon, sisters shouldn't grow up ever and now the problems with Kaylee too. Poor guy. Mal's a boob, but then he rescued himself with Kaylee. *grins*

I know there are a pile of Jaylee shippers just hoping for a break...buuuutttt you have built such a nice potential dynamic with the dog and Jayne and River >;0)

[bookaddict43.livejournal.com]

I honestly don't know where its going, really. *bats eyelashes* I do agree that our Jayne has mellowed toward River...

so what if she didnt know my name we had us a good time and my ashes got hauled


ROFLMAO!!!!! Oh, Jayne *wipes eyes* He just tickles me half to death...not wanting to hear about "marks" and complaining about the Sissification Of Fifi.

Thank you for making my day better :) *hugs you tight*

[bookaddict43.livejournal.com]

I'm glad I helped with your day *Hugs*.

That Jayne not wanting to realise Ma's are human!

'Sissification of Fifi' has such a ring to it!! You've made me giggle all over again...

[xx-squish-xx.livejournal.com]

I'm trying to catch up!

But you hurt Kaylee! You gotta stop that. *eyes you sternly*

Funny that she made Fifi more sissified!
