‼️‼️ unhealthy relationship dynamics described below

speaking my truth: generally speaking, for me to personally enjoy jaynesimon as a concept (and certainly if i ever write it myself; i don’t know that i will? i might at some point just to see what it would even look like), i need it to be super unhealthy on both sides. jayne enjoying trying to get the upper hand and having power over simon as a representative of the social class that’s always oppressed people like him, now on a ship where jayne himself nominally has more power/authority/history/only for simon to drug him against his will to incapacitate him is the literal juiciest thing about this dynamic to me and i think if i were to write anything for them it would need to build off that.

simon using the ariel stuff as (very subtle understated only-jayne-can-hear-it) blackmail to get them on more even footing! jayne trying to get the upper hand once again by taking any small signal of attraction or desire to to stake a claim on him bc mal treats simon so differently (whether mal actually has any interest or not is irrelevant. the point is jayne thinks it’ll bother him and doesn’t outright tell mal but keeps dropping hints even though he and simon have Sort Of agreed not to do that.) simon hating himself for going along with it (but hey, not a lot of options out here on the black, and it’s not like he’s concerned about hurting jayne’s feelings in using him for sex when he barely tolerates him.) simon insulting him, jayne being a little too rough.

and like frankly i can’t see it as a ***super fluffy ship where either of them is In Love (esp. pre-any jayne development and especially if jayne is still actively antagonistic to river), but i can see simon having (what he feels is) dirtybadwrong sex with him as a form of self-harm and jayne using it as a way to feel powerful and neither of them being at all sure who’s actually in control by the end.

*not to say you can’t or shouldn’t write fluffy jaynesimon!! you do you!! this is just where the interest lies for me.

#the thing is i really do enjoy this flavor of jaynesimon a lot lol. they just have to be toxic as hell #and like with malsimon #i like them to be Slightly toxic but mostly fine. they’re not always their best selves and sometimes they take it out on each other #but ultimately work through it #with jayne and simon i’m like #~ruin each other’s psyches~ lol #firefly #jaynesimon #jayne cobb #simon tam

I <3 TOXIC YAOI

Thank you so so sooo much to @wateronagreasefire for sending me the episodes (and to everyone else who responded)

Ok I know calling a man pretty is generally meant as an insult. But I feel like Jayne telling Simon to "stop flapping that pretty mouth" at him was not exactly the most heterosexual thing in the world. Bisexual Jayne Cobb canon

#firefly #firefly tv #jayne cobb #simon tam #jaynesimon #there's so much in firefly that implies queerness in otherwise straight characters #and i'm so curious how much of it was intentional and how much of it wasn't #largely sean maher's gazing. did he do that on purpose #was he directed to act in love with mal and jayne? did he decide to on his own and no one else had an issue with it?#am i just reading into things with my gay simon coloured glasses?#who's to say

Happy 20th birthday to these two zines! They were first listed on the publisher's site in October 2005.

"War Stories" is a "gen" zine, and includes the following fics that are on AO3 (3/14 fics):

Homestead (exploration of Jayne's family)

Salvage Mission and Reclamation (rescuing Jayne from slavery, minor Jayne/Simon)

Professionals (Jayne as Inara's bodyguard for an event)

This zine is Jayne-centric, and most fics are pretty bleak, though there are a few light-hearted moments. Jayne isn't my first pick when I read fanfic, but this zine brought me around on him a little. I think this author has an iron-clad grip on everyone's voice, which is wonderful.

"Coat Tales" is MalSimon only and rather smutty, which I have never complained about in my life. Some of the fics (4/9) are available on the good old archive. This author has a thing for Mal being reluctant to commit/admit attraction, which is fantastic; virgin!Simon, which is fine; and also whump, which is very tasty. I do love to see Dr. Tam get knocked around a little. They also include something that I think is integral to a good "established relationship" Mal/Simon fic, which is fighting for no reason. Like yesssssss…….get pissed off at him and move out of your shared bunk for a week……
