Advent Drabble #10 (Simon & Jayne)

Had to change the drabble sequence around a bit, because my Spethan drabble refuses to cooperate and we have guests today. No time for writing until tonight...

Firefly - Jayne & Simon - PG13 - warning: character death - spoilers for Serenity
For [livejournal.com profile] herself_nyc


TLC

When Simon looks at Jayne, he sees the perfect specimen of a brute. A testosterone-fuelled fighting machine with ham sized fists, a total lung capacity of six liters, and legs built for standing one’s ground; heart and brain atrophied, not equipped to reason why.

Whenever the machine gets broken, Simon patches it up until one day Jayne comes back beyond repair.

“Gorram lung’s gone. You reckon my heart will fetch a good price, Doc?” Jayne asks, blood on his breath. “Folks back home need the dough.”

“Yes." Simon’s hands shake. "Good hearts do, Jayne.”

They bury him next to Book.

Thank you! I'm happy to hear you find the drabble touching. *beams*
*hides smug expression*
Seriously? I tinkered with this for a long time, so I'm happy it came out effective. Cheers.

You'll be glad to hear that I don't kill him on a regular basis. In my head Jayne is very much alive and fantasizing about Simon or River... ;-)
