Fantastic chapter. You've got something special here. Hope to see another chapter soon. Welcome back!

WOOHOOO an update! This made me very happy! I'm so glad it wasn't abandoned, as I think it's my favorite bebop story. It's the one that started it all anyways :) Ack I am seriously going crazy trying to figure out how Spike looks so much like Ezekiel. And I think this little revelation just adds more questions than it answers! I can't wait for more! Hope it's soon! till then

OMG! YAY! YOU UPDATED! THAT IS AMAZING! YOUR DEDICATION IS BEAUTIFUL! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^0^^^^^^^^^^^

Favourite line:It probably would have mercifully saved them both years of having watching their friendship disintegrate.

Amazing story and plot! You are amazing! Know that!

Dude. It's been ages. Literally AGES since you updated. Thank you though, for still remembering this. Great job, as usual. But you just left me hanging for more. Hope you're doing fine. ;)

Welcome back!

Riiiight? Oh man I couldn't believe it when I got this email. But also this was amazing. I feel bad for Ezekial but also I don't quite remember what has happened previously so I need to reread some parts. Anyways I am riveted, I hope you update again soon!

DUDE. My heart skipped a freaking beat when I saw this update. You don't know how ecstatic I am that you are continuing this. And finally the confirmation of what we suspected all along. Who knew Faye likes to keep it in the family?

Missed you. Hope for the next update to come soon. 3

well, no one is surprised that they are related... :)

I'm glad your writing again

Wow! So, I just read through 'She Wanted to Die' and 'Leadbelly: She Wanted to Die' in like a week. I couldn't put it down! I know that it has been forever since you updated, but you really captured the characters, made them really come back to life, and i truly hope that you continue the story. Its Amazing :)

Hi

I've been into your story from the begining and now i'm getting anxious. When are you writing another chapter it been a year now. Please give us more.

Ahhh!You better update soon. I can't tell what is going to happen next.

So I discovered your work a few days ago, and here I am commenting on the latest chapter of this almost decade long saga. Being bipolar, I totally get the drift. The sweetest art comes from that fissure right between the hypo-mania and true mania, at least for me. Then I'm a complete nut case. There were times I had to walk away, had to come back, but I always came back. A few grammatical errors aside (my English professor would be proud I found some) and some continuity issues that come with such a long story, I love it. I feel like it's coming to a head now, and readers and author alike will be happy. Some things I'd love to have cleared up or elaborated upon: Spike a descendant of Ezekiel? Kinda loose having the main murder/movie motivation solely on the death of a kid, even in a hyper-politico world. To last over 50 years and cryogenic freeze? Just want to know if there's more to come or if I missed something. Also, Ana's innocence is constantly in question...and where is Ed's dad now?

Fun Fact: I have two snakes, one named Ezekiel Sampson, who has tried to eat my other baby, Samuel Jericho. Coincidences with the crazy bipolar snake lady? Heck yes.

Greattt story. Write more please :)

I just rediscovered this pairing, after YEARS of not having anything to do with bebop and I found some of your drabbles on the spikeandfaye community on lj, which took me to your leadbelly journal, which took me to this here story.

I have lost more sleep over the last two days reading both this and She wanted to Die, unable to do anything but to continue and read these. I am so drawn into what's going to happen next with Spike, Faye, Jet, Ed, Ezekiel, Ana- I hope that you haven't abandoned this story completely. I know you said earlier in Leadbelly that you had an ending set in stone, and I can't help but wonder if that ending is the same- is the ending close at least? Every time we get some answers, we get more questions as well.

Hope you haven't given up on Leadbelly!

You are an amazing writer and you inspire me.

and I'm not just saying that to get into your skivvies
