Author's Note: From the first time I watched Firefly, I wondered what circumstances might have shaped the character of Jayne Cobb, an exceptionally complex man. The given name "Jayne" was a common variant of "John" in Victorian England. This story emerged from the questions I asked. Thanks to my excellent beta, artemis_prime and to the most talented cantonheroine for the beautiful header.
