Summary
To some, the return of magic is a miracle; to others, a catastrophe. But to physicist Julia Chen, it’s all a colossal headache. Now, she’s setting out across the wintry, post-apocalyptic landscape of Fairy-occupied Canada in search of answers. The subject of her inquiries: an enigmatic Fae known only as Mr. Elsevier, who seems to have power over matter and energy at the most fundamental level and who is willing to share this knowledge—for a price.
But Julia’s quest does not take place in a political vacuum. In Ottawa, the new Fairy Viceroy draws up her plans for the country, even as her puppet Prime Minister, Chuck Oakes, struggles desperately to protect his people. But rebellion is brewing, and Mr. Elsevier may just be the key to human victory.
Now, with the murderous politics of the Fae heating up, Julia will soon learn that, in sorcery as in science, simple questions can sometimes have very dangerous answers. She is on the cusp of ultimate knowledge: a theory of magic that would explain what has become of the world and how it can be reversed—but asking the wrong question may well unravel reality itself.

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
Faye wants to hate Julia. She REALLY does. She wants to hate how Julia helps Jet cook without being asked. Or how she and Spike slow-dance in the living room late at night when they think no one’s up. She wants to hate how these days, Spike only ever smells like cigarettes or sex. Or how every time he looks at Faye, it’s like he’s seeing her in color for the very first time.
Or: No one on the Bebop has any clue what to do with a happy ending, least of all Faye.
A/N: Now with a brand new Spike/Faye bonus track AND a preview for the sequel! 😎
