Summary
n. a singular passion for music that is beyond all reason.
The Bebop crew isn't the sort that says mushy things like "I love you". Not if you don't want to end up with Faye mocking you, Edward hacking into your bank balance, Spike's snide comments or Jet just plain laughing.
That doesn't mean they *don't* say it. They say it all the time. Just...not with words. Or in a normal way. A look at how the crew show their love, for the ship, for Ein, for each other. Minor Faye/Spike.

Summary
A year after the fall of the Red Dragon Syndicate, life on the Bebop has gone back to normal for everyone. Everyone except for Faye. Memories from her past are constantly making unwelcome appearances and things have been awkward between her and Spike since his recovery. Just as she's about to accept this as her new normal, a unique bounty changes everything. Faye hopes being forced to work together somehow fixes her relationship with Spike. But, as the bounty becomes more dangerous and digs up things better left buried, she realizes that it just might break whatever relationship they have left.

Summary
They find him on the stairs, face down in a pile of blood. Faye sits next to him, flips him over so he's lying across her lap. "I hate this," she says, refusing to look at Jet, who she knows is crying above them. "We shouldn't have bothered." She rests a hand on his chest. Over his heart. His cold, dead heart; one that had never beaten for her, and now never would. His heart belonged to Julia, and now that she was gone so was he. Idiot, she thinks, and is about to repeat aloud when she feels something flutter beneath her fingers.
And then, it flutters again.
Faye's eyes blow wide and she pulls his chest up to her ear by the lapels of his coat, listening:
Thump. Thump. Thump.
She shoves him off of her, and he slides down the stairs to Jet's surprised feet. "He's alive," she says quietly, her stinging eyes rising up to meet Jet's wide ones.
He's frozen for a moment, then he's leaning down to pick him up. "Bastard."

Summary
Vash is gone. The Eye of Michael is in shambles. Nicholas D. Wolfwood is at loose ends. He is a loose end. It’s just a matter of time before someone remembers he exists and comes to bring him back into the fold or finally put him out of his misery.
He leaves while JuLai is still a smoking ruin--shoulders his cross and walks away. He doesn’t have a destination in mind. He half-hopes he’ll just die out there, where the wind and sand can wear away the evidence of his brief, misspent life until all that’s left is the Punisher as a grave marker.

Summary
She says, "I'm actually looking for someone. The captain of the Sand Steamer said that he'd heard a rumor that Vash the Stampede is on board. I understood him to have blonde hair and a red jacket…" She looks at Vash, who hastily climbs back into his chair. Wolfwood retakes his as well, though he does it as if it was his idea to stop fighting all along.
With profound earnestness, Vash answers, "I heard he's also incredibly handsome and dashing. But may I ask why you're looking for him?" (Across the table, Meryl rolls her eyes so hard that she nearly gives herself a hernia. She is truly stuck with the corniest man alive.)
"My name is Eleanor Forthright," the young woman explains, "and my stepfather's just been murdered."
There's another moment of staring and silence. Weakly, Vash says, "It wasn't me, I just got here."
Eleanor blinks, and then she presses her lips together. "No, sir, I'm not accusing you. I'm asking for your help to find out who did it."

Wolfwood, they sang. Wolfwood, Wolfwood, Wolfwood.
Soft, tentative. As though asking a question. They reached out to him again, feather-light touches brushing across his cheeks through the fog.
Nicholas.
Something wet rolled down his cheek. He was crying.
Nicholas. Nicholas. Wolfwood.
Beloved.Miracle, the plants whispered. What is a miracle?
Vash stared at the grave.
“Something impossible,” he said quietly. “Something impossible that happens anyway.”Rem and the plants meet Wolfwood.

Summary
This is the life he’s lived since July. Not as an outlaw, a gunslinger, the man on the posters with the unthinkable bounty. He’s been on this little ranch in this town that’s barely on the map. He’s been doing laundry.
Vash must sense the mounting danger, because he glances back over his shoulder, forcing Wolfwood to send his gaze out the window instead. One sun has set, the secondary one bathing the desert outside a murderous, suitable red. “Take your coat off, stay a while,” Vash says gently, which only winds Wolfwood up tighter. “Or, well, I guess my coat.”
That’s it—
