    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

    She shouldn’t have looked. Zelda can’t stop chastising herself for it afterwards, cursing herself for her deadly curiosity.

    Rather than Link impaling a variety of monsters with his silly purple sword, he instead has a very different sword in hand and is certainly not slaying anything with it.

    Zelda accidentally catches an eyeful, gets angry, and then gets even.

    Summary

    “Lovers’ quarrel?” The motel receptionist asks with a wiggle of his eyebrows. “Or do you snore too much?”

    Link chokes and turns it into a cough, unable to meet Zelda's eyes. “Neither.”

    “We’ve only got a King bed available. Hope you make up soon,” the receptionist says with a wink.

    Link sleeps on the couch.

    -

    After an assassination attempt, Link and Zelda must live together and navigate the impending Calamity, grad school, strange dreams, and their complete disasters of personal lives. One of those things is more difficult than the others.
