What a neat, wicked idea! I very much like this - the technician's cold approval, Jim's despising his brother's weakness, the engrams not taking, so that he might have new memories, but he doesn't blindly accept them.

I love the intersection of Federation and Federation. I love Jim's role in the fall of Kodos, that Kodos falls because he listened to Blake - and how this is the turning point, when the rule of law becomes law by those who rule, and an Empire claws its way to life.

Wonderfully wicked!

Interesting concatenation of the two.
Though who is the gaunt black haired man?

You're brilliant, and so is this story. The B7 Federation as the dark mirror of the ST one has been talked about so often, and yet I've never made the connection to the Mirrorverse. Mirror!Kirk as one of the children who got fake memories so Blake could be framed at his trial! Kodos!

*is in awe*

What an awesome idea. I hadn't concieved of mirror!TOS/B7 together, and you've made me wonder why it wasn't obvious since you pulled it off so brilliantly.

As I don't know Blakes 7 at all, I must admit this fic made little sense to me in the way of plot... but I was fascinated by it, nonetheless. Seeing the Mirror Universe through the eyes of a young Kirk was very effective and genuinely unsettling. Also, the way you switch scenes, which always keeps the reader just a bit off-balance, adds tremendously to the general feel of the story.

I don't know TOS at all, so I'm sure I'm missing some of the nuances, but what a wonderful idea, beautifully realised!
