This was a nice picture of Spike and Faye getting along well! I loved how both Laughing Bull and Faye's stomachs went off. Priceless. I'm loving this more and more! Not only can I envision the characters doing what they do, but it gives that same old excitement as the anime!
I'm going to keep reading.

Yay! I've come to the end, unfortunately. :) Well, all I can say is that the only flaws I can find in this story are that its a bit dramatic, at times Spike might be a tad OOC and that I think it would have taken longer for him to move on only months after Julia's death. Then again, he didn't see her for like two, three years and death changes people somewhat. Otherwise, this is perfect, :) especially Faye's persona, hers was done perfectly, you really captured the painful essence of her character and feelings regarding the circumstances. Thank you so much for sharing this with us, as it eases away some of the pain left after the end of the series. :DDD

I decided to review as I go along reading just in case I forget certain parts of what I wanted to say. :D
Hmmm, while I'm not exactly sure of Spike's sudden change in temperament, I think I have an idea of what's happening to make him and Faye so angsty. PTSD or should I say PTJD, Post Traumatic Julia Disorder, on his part and Faye is feeling dead inside after Spike was gone and his sudden return just serves to spin her world around and kill her some more. I was initially wondering if Spike was feeling a bit OOC in the previous angry chapters but then again it makes sense cause of what happened to him and the realness of the story clicks together to make it work. :)

I was going to wait until I had finished the entire story before reviewing, but this chapter took the cake. I love the way the emotions bleed raw off the words and you can really feel the underlying, unasked questions finally coming into light. Ha, I think what Spike meant about her 'true colours' is she's finally revealing her real thoughts, personality, being, and all other than just the exteriors they all wear around each other most of the time. I like how you captured his grief with Julia, how real it is and how he had lost weight and sleep over it as I hate how people try to skim over it quickly like a superficial cut which scabs over fast. I also like how the dynamics and everyone on the ship has changed somewhat because of what had happened. :D

I seldom review but just wanted to drop a short line to thank you for the wonderful read. Without a doubt one of the best fics I have read on this site and I have been reading here for years.
Much like Bebop itself, I was devastated to finish this fic up but to me that is a sign of truly enjoying the experience.
Great job and thank you.

Hello. I have just read this fic, and it is fabulous, the way in which this writing is very interesting, to happen from a point of view to other one and since develops the history, all the really expressed emotions. It tells the history of a deigns of the series and with an end similar to this one of certain way, but with major expectation and happy I must say. Jejjejeje.
end reflections implied that Spike had feelings for Faye, but hoped it would not give him many rodeos over the previous chapters, poor faye, but I guess it was the character right?. Faye made her believe that she was dead, so as he did, that was great. and Edward and his new partner was very tender.
Good thing it was over with all together, congratulations on this wonderful story. :)

I rarely review fan-fics, but I gotta say- this fic is truly perfect. Amazing. Absolutely phenomenal. At least, Cowboy Bebop-wise, as far as 'if this were a possible continuation for Cowboy Bebop etc. etc.'
You madam, sir, whatever, have blown my mind. Now, like most people I loved Cowboy Bebop's ending, I wasn't displeased with it, but, this made me even more satisfied, I truly want to see a doujinshi or something like that with this fan-fic. Ya know?
Actually, I was considering contacting BONES themselves and informing them about this amazing fan-fic, I love it that much, if there were any sorts of continuation towards cowboy bebop, this would have to be the way they'd write it. It has to be it.
My only complaint is- that I wish there was a teeny-tiny bit more development between Spike and Faye, but nerveless you proved that the Bebop Spirit can still continue on, logically, with lust, love, the magic is still there.
Thank you for writing this fan-fic *_* it's truly one of my favorites of all time. I'll recommend this to anyone, and with your permission, if I may... can I seek out artists to turn it into a comic/manga/doujinshi?
Also, I would like to post it on Deviant-ART to get more publicity. You truly deserve it!

After coming across this story several times, I finally decided to put some time and energy into reading this and I must say I’m glad that I did. This is probably the best Cowboy Bebop story I’ve come across that really feels true to the source material. Almost like a direct sequel. And I feel a lot of that has something to do with how closely you kept Faye and Spike’s personalities intact. In fact, their interaction throughout the whole piece felt genuine compared to some stories I’ve come across. I could really see this happening in the actual anime. I knew I was truly invested when I started tearing up over Faye’s “death” and feeling somewhat frustrated over Spike’s stubbornness, and holding my breath whenever I felt sparks flying between the two of them. Thank you for writing such an awesome story and quenching my thirst for a decent Bebop fic. You truly did a wonderful job!
