Damn, your MU is dark even by MU standards. Archer leaves one of his men to suffer, and not even medics will help without a direct order. No medical oaths in this universe. I like Trip the sadist, he fits well into this MU. Your depiction of Cutler is heart wrenching: I'd say you're a monster, but Cutler's misery serves the story well. Intersting that Trip helps someone he was clearly intending to kill for Cutler's sake. Funny at the end, Trip's version of heaven, coming round every 7 years,and that even in this twisted universe, TnT persists.

It was good to see more of Liz Cutler. She was a favorite. I would love to read a story about her in this universe.
As to Reed and Tucker, there will be only one left at the end - or will that be none?

Harsh and vivid. Even in the midst of the Mirror Universe, they remain somewhat like themselves at the core. But that's the intriguing nature of this AU - to explore the twisted nature of them. Very interesting look at Trip. I liked it.

Ah, just wonderfully, splendidly dark! Wonderfully MU. Thanks for a great read.

Okay, I'll bite... so, *if* Major Reed survives surgery, then what would MU-Tucker do with him?

I really don't care for the two Mirror episodes at all, so I'm not sure why I even read this. I am glad I did though. Very poignant.

Definitely a dark story - but as is the case in the Mirror Universe. Made me wonder exactly what had happened to Cutler over there.

If this is what the 'best' of the mirror universe is about . . . I think 'humanity' will burn itself out - despite TOS . . .
