Amazing the detail I saw while reading this, I could almost taste the dust.
I certainly tasted my tears for a tired old merc and his redemption at the end.
Thank you!

Sweet oh so sweet. That was a very moving story. As usual I loved it. I so love your writing.

amazing

That was so sad. I cried. I really liked the portrayel of old Jayne, and how it was based on that old song, which has always been one of my favorites. Yeah, good fic, very moving.

Beautiful. Sad sort of what-if, but beautiful. What folk song?

How touching. This was sad but wonderful to see Jayne talk the young man out of making the same mistakes he had. Very sad but the ending helped make it bearable. I love your stories.

Very sad story, thought it was one way until the end. Quite well written with a little element of mystery attached.

Well ... wow. That was just lovely, atmospheric and moody and sad and yet with a happy ending. Excellent!

Fascinating and different. I like how you've made an alternate outcome for the Ariel events.

Pretty good oneshot...outstanding.

*sniff* Gah! How do you do that? ;-)
