Aaaaaand another one:

Title: Nightmares and Daydreams
Fandom: Firefly
Pairing, etc: Jayne/River
Prompt: #71 Broken (for [info]fanfic100)
Word Count: 100 (YAY!Drabble)
Rating: PG (for angst)
Disclaimer: Joss is GOD and owns EVERYTHING, including my soul.
Author's Notes: For [info]crazywriterchic



Sometimes River has nightmares; vivid, painful memories of all the terrible things they did to her at the Academy. And on those nights, no amount of his enveloping reassurance can coax her back to sleep. So they stay up late and she tells him more of what she can’t bring herself to tell Simon.

Sometimes Jayne has daydreams; pure, unbelievable visions of graceful, blue-eyed babies who smile and call him “Papa.” And when that happens, she strokes his hair and apologizes for being broken. So they talk for hours, pretending it’s possible; naming the children he knows they’ll never have.

    Way to reduce me to sniffles, woman!

      OMG you read my Rayne!Drabble. *is honored*

      And if it made you cry, then my work is done.

      (CWC is the BOMB at angsty Rayne and so I tried to give her a dose of her own medicine!)

    How can you break my heart like that. I hate it, but I love you. *Sniffle* Poor Rayne.

      "It" being the broken heart thing, not the story. I loved it even if it did make me get all teary-eyed.

    Oh. Meep! Sad, but pretty.

      Yep; somehow a little part of me can't see them in the "Happily Ever After" land anymore. And so I write angst.

      Well, at least for now. I am sure the fluffy, Rayne!Baby muse will rear her head any time.

      Thanks for reading!

    Jayne wants Rivers babies and you're not going to give them any!*sniffle*

    That out of the way, very poignant piece. At least you get the sense that they'll be there for one another no matter what.

      Well, I didn't in THIS piece. Somewhere in my enormous list of fics there are quite a few Rayne!Baby!Fics if you want to read them (and haven't already).

      And thank you! That is exactly what I was going for: that, even broken, he loves her.

    That was absolutely heartbreaking, as in tear my heart out, do the mexican hat dance on it heartbreaking. Since it was that heartbreaking it only means one thing, that it was abolutely beautiful and wonderfully written.

      And thank you; it's good to know that my fic makes people feel.

    Let me ask you something. Do you like ripping my heart and stomping all over it? Heartbreaking and lovely! *whimpers*

      Do I like doing that? No. Am I glad that it worked out that way? HELL YES.

      Because that means I did something right!

      Glad you li..er--liked it?

    Bittersweet and fantabulous. They are that kind of love where each can tell the other what they need to hear and love each other all the more deeply for it. Beautful.

      Yeah, I was in an angsty mood at the time. Well, for a few minutes at least, just long enough to get this written.

      I'm glad you liked (?) it!
