    Summary

    Faye stays with the Bebop, for now. Jet still isn't quite sure what that means - for the ship, yes, but mostly for them.

    (Also, he's definitely not thinking about Spike.)

    Summary

    I know writing stories where Spike survives is considered dirty pool, but this is just an experiment. "Karma" is a series of vignettes exploring the relationships between Spike, Faye, and Jet now that they're alone on the Bebop. I'm writing this for my own joy and mean no disrespect to anyone else's interpretation of the series.

    These vignettes are mostly written in present tense, for reasons which I hope will become clear as you work your way through them. A lot of people get annoyed by present tense, so if you're one of them, you might want to avoid reading this.

    Summary

    The one that got away. That’s what they are always singing their love songs or writing their poetry about.

    Julia has noticed this. She also notices how 'they' is most often a man, and the one that got away is a woman. Usually it is an affront for this woman to have left; usually she fucks over the man and takes something from him as she leaves, sans merci. Other times the woman is perfectly innocent, but then that probably means she will be tragically killed, and very young. Either way, there don’t seem to be many songs about this situation from the woman’s perspective.

    Summary

    Not with a bang, but not with a whimper either. It turned out the end didn’t come for Spike at all.

    He had said he wasn’t going to meet Vicious to die and that hadn’t been a total lie, but Spike had still expected to find an answer, or finality in some form. Only it hadn’t come. After everything he had gone through, it hadn’t come. He thought he had climbed all the way to the top of the staircase, but the only thing waiting for him was a false step that he’d gone tumbling through, all the way down to the bottom again, like it was a great cosmic game of snakes and ladders.

    ***

    Spike, Faye, Jet and the aftermath. Or, what happens when time keeps on going despite everything.
