Title: Chase by fivethingsunmixed

Fandom: Cowboy Bebop

Character/Pairing: Jet Black/Spike Spiegel, Jet Black, Spike Spiegel,

Word Count: 759

Summary: "How Jet and Spike’s relationship grew to be what it was at the series start; how two men with vastly different backgrounds came to appreciate, respect - maybe even love - each other.."

 

When Spike realizes that Jet is working his way around his distaste of authority, Spike is at first gobsmacked - that just doesn’t happen . You either respect authority, or you get slapped. Authority doesn’t bend to you .

But here it has.

So Spike starts bending in return, like an elegant dance, or a jazz chase. Jet gives way on some of the captaincy authority, so Spike starts going easy on him - if he chastises Spike for something Spike knows full well is his fault, Spike yields.

And somewhere, staring at the stars, as they move through the black, Spike, assassin, ally to no one but the dead and missing, realizes he has a friend.

Title: break my fall by procrastinatingbookworm

Fandom: Cowboy Bebop

Character/Pairing: Jet Black/Spike Spiegel, Jet Black, Spike Spiegel

Word Count: 1030

Summary: "Jet and Spike get high together."
Warning: drug use, Dissociation

Spike takes another hit, rising up on his knees and crawling towards Jet. Uncharacteristically graceless, his loose limbs topple him into Jet’s lap, although—maybe that’s what he wanted. Jet can never quite tell. It’s one of Spike’s favorite tricks, playacting incompetency.

Title: love and disaffection by procrastinatingbookworm

Fandom: Cowboy Bebop

Character/Pairing: Jet Black/Spike Spiegel, Jet Black, Spike Spiegel

Word Count: 1254

Summary: Life Action TV: Post Canon: fix it: "Jet lasts fifteen minutes."

Why I Rec This Fic: Jet just can't be mad at his idiot. (I have mixed feelings about the Live Action version but I have mixed feelings about the OG anime too - and one of my feelings for both is that I prefere a happy ending so I like that there is fic for that.)

Title: don't even recognize the stranger by spock

Fandom: Cowboy Bebop

Character/Pairing: Jet Black/Spike Spiegel, Jet Black, Spike Spiegel

Word Count: 1509

Summary: Post Canon, Spike has amnesia

Warning: Dubious Consent Due To Identity Issues

Why I Rec This Fic: Domestic closeness, guilt and idenity angst

 

There's other things he wants to say too, like, here's where you lost your goddamn mind on some space 'shrooms, or that's the spot where you always leave your fucking shoes — and even though I know that's where they're gonna be, I nearly kill myself trippin' over them every fucking day anyway.

Title: illumination by cptsdstars

Fandom: Cowboy Bebop

Character/Pairing: Jet Black/Spike Spiegel, Jet Black, Spike Spiegel,

Summary: Post: Knockin on Heaven's Door: Spike disassociates

Warning: canon typical unreality, Dissociation

Title: Dog Days by piratesPencil

Fandom: Cowboy Bebop

Character/Pairing: Jet Black/Spike Spiegel, Jet Black, Spike Spiegel, Ein

Word Count: 2645

Summary: "Spike couldn’t believe that Black Dog, former terror of the ISSP and current terror of the bounty hunting world, had a soft spot for puppies. Except that wasn’t true. He could absolutely believe that Jet was soft for mongrels and kids and anyone who needed to be taken care of. After all, Jet was soft for him."

Warning: sex

Why I Rec This Fic: I am fond of characters being fond for eachother.

Title: elegy sans gas by Ghoulie_cruz

Word Count: 4482

Summary: "Hey, Jet, wanna hear something funny?"

Title: Put a little faith in me by Sweaterknight

Fandom: Cowboy Bebop

Character/Pairing: Jet Black/Spike Spiegel, Jet Black, Spike Spiegel,

Word Count: 5453

Summary: "Spike and Jet never see quite eye to eye, but they're pretty good at working around that."

Warning: Casual slutshaming, sex, referencing to the genitals of a (trans) male character as clit, reference/implication of transphobia

Why I Rec This Fic: Great Spike tone that feels like canon, but mostly I am just in love with the way this fic writes about his body, the normalization of it, I dig it in ways I can't word.

Title: someone's terrorized my psyche to get even by procrastinatingbookworm for brawler

Fandom: Cowboy Bebop

Character/Pairing: Jet Black/Spike Spiegel, Jet Black, Spike Spiegel,

Word Count: 6155

Summary: Life Action: Episode 6: Binary Two Step Rewrite: "Jet is Spike's emotional tether. Spike's run-in with Londes gets significantly worse.

Warning: suicidal thoughs, psychological trauma, messed up mix of violence and love, dissociation

Why I Rec This Fic: Spike likes women who can kick his ass, I like my fictional men traumatized and on their knees. People letting the people they love do anything to them even destroying them is great fun in fiction.

Title: in the quiet, we are fine by lupinely
Fandom: Cowboy Bebop
Character/Pairing: Jet Black/Spike Spiegel
Jet Black, Spike Spiegel, Faye Valentine, Ed, Ein
Word Count: 10428
Summary: "Spike and Jet never put a name to what they are doing together, and they both prefer it that way. They’re two people on a spaceship trying to make a living. It doesn’t have to be any more complicated than that.
Then the dog shows up. Then Faye. Then Ed."
Why I Rec This Fic: Great Jet/Spike and lovely found family bits.
