Wow.

I haven't signed onto in years but I couldn't just read this story without giving you the much deserved praise. Great job, my friend.

Jet/Faye, to me, isn't just the best pairing in CB but the most realistic. You did an excellent job of painting a realistic alternative route to the pairing. While most people just go with the whole 'spike just died' angle, with everything taking place a few weeks after 26, you were completely original.

Your portrayel of Jet and Faye were spot on, near perfect. I loved your inner thoughts of Faye and the picture you painted of Jet was absolutely fantastic.

I can easily say this is one of my favorite stories I've ever read on this site, and my favorite CB ever.

Again, excellet job and I hope to read more of your work in the future.

I wasn't quite sure that Faye and Jet together was my cup of tea, but this story was good, and ended well. It's nice to imagine Jet as the owner of a restaurant, too. xD
I always had a little crush on Spike, but your criticism of him (via Jet) was pretty illuminating. You got Jet and Faye down pretty well, I think.

I just wanted to say that I absolutely love this fic more than words can say. I've had somewhat of a difficult time finding great CB fics, especially involving Jet. Thank you so much for all the time and work you put into this fic.

Holy smoke, you're amazing. AMAZING. Incredible story. This has to be the best Jet/Faye fics I've ever read. It's too bad that there isn't much else out there. Hot first love scene. I love your character descriptions, especially seen through the eyes of either Jet or Faye. Those great intimate (not sexual) scenes, like the robotic arm sensitivity, were awesome.

Wow. I think that's the most I wrote in a review. Ha. What can I say? I loved it.

... once more, the best CB fic I've ever read, and a top five out of the hundreds in all the other fandoms. One thing however--perfect throughout its length, I can't help feeling that the end, chapters 8-9 was a bit too short. Perhaps I'm just greedy and want more, but I honesetly felt that the ending between could have used a page or two more to conclusively flesh out Jet and Faye's mutual feelings. It really was kind of fleeting.

I'm sold on this pairing now, and if I ever write a fic for Cowboy Bebop, it'll be about Jet and Faye, and it'll be dedicated to you. My highest regards, excellent story.

Read up to chapter 7 more than a year ago and had given up on this, the best Bebop fic in the fandom, for dead. To come back now and found that you've finished it is a dream come true. My highest regards to your story telling skills.

I loved this story! I just finished reading it (started last night when I was struck with a random craving for tales of the Bebop crew). This has been, without a doubt, the best Cowboy Bebop fic I've ever read. It was practically flawless. Your portrayal of the characters were spot-on, in my opinion; your detail was plentiful and descriptive without being over-the-top; the plot flowed very, very well. You people with your writing ability, always making me feel all inferior-like...

The only error I spotted was in the last chaper, while Faye and Jet were in the restaurant. Faye said, “Jet, for God’s sake, why you don’t care anymore?” That made me giggle, despite how serious their conversation was. I almost felt bad for how ill-timed my laughter was. I couldn't help warping Faye's voice in my mind and giving her an accent - "Jet, gaddurnit, why you dun' care n'mo'?"

... I'm sorry. ^_^()

Anyway, I should end this review before it gets out of hand. Forgive me for it's length and rambling manner. If it's any consolation, I plan to add this story to my favorites.

I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed this fic (yay for food in fics). The progression was wonderful and the end really fitting. I especially like that it was romantic, but not over-the-top, not to mention quite classy. And for the record, this is the only fic with Faye I have ever followed. Good job and thank you.

I dunno how he's a pimp, either. But anyway. ^_^ Great fic, I really really hope you continue it! It's so much fun to read, and the UST is very nice also...
One little note, Faye's "top shelf" margarita shouldn't be with Cuervo Gold, which may be the most universally available tequila, but isn't very good, or even "real" tequila (100% blue agave). A really good margarita would be made with a lower-range variety of, for example, Patron or Milagro or Corazon or Herradura (the upper range of which would be wasted on a margarita, being rather intended for sipping)... actually Corazon would be the most appropriate in name, perhaps, for a romantically-inclined fic... *big grin and wink* Anyway! I know they pawn off Cuervo as being "good tequila" in most of the country, but I think Jet would know his tequilas and find a way to get the REAL good stuff! ^_~ Faye's more of a whiskey drinker, so I don't blame her for not knowing better. (And hey, if you ever wanna know about some whiskey, feel free to ask me.) She was probably gasping cause the Cuervo was so rough and nasty. lol
...okay. Enough of that, I'm quite certain. I love this fic, and like I said earlier, whenever you get time, I really hope that you'll continue it. ^_^ It's one of my favorite Jet/Faye fics, cause you have a good sense of the characters, write very well about very interesting things, and have a kickass sense of humor.

Wow. Just...wow. These last two chapters are a wonderful Christmas present, since I hadn't checked back here in a couple of months. Thank you. I keep hearing how is nothing but drek anymore, but as long as there are people like you still around, I'll still poke my nose in once in a while.

I fully expect to see a Jimmy Buffet song as a chapter title soon. :) However, while I admire Jet's ability to move on, it makes me a little sad to think the Bebop will never be able to fly or even move again. She was so pretty landing in the water in the movie. Ah well, boats and spaceships - holes in the water into which you pour money, right? You had to find some way to make it go the other direction.

A minor quibble is that I don't really understand is why Jet is being referred to as a pimp. He's doing what he alwsys does, taking care of people. If he's not taking the girls' money, AND still providing them with medical care and places to sleep when they need it, he certainly not making any profit at it. He seems to be more of counselor/benefactor.

In any case, can't wait for more. Thanks again.
