I feel like I never know what to comment on your fics because they are always so, SO good it can only be expressed with a lot of keyboard banging. But I will try...

I love that you took a cute prompt like that, interpreted it wonderfully, and yet made it mirror!verse. It was just the right amount of sweet coupled with the intensity of their love. I know a lot of mirror!fic (including mine) is just pure harshness so I liked that you wrote them with actual feelings and emotions. And I always love when Sulu calls Chekov baby. Totally my weakness!

[hollycomb]

Thank you so much for reading and for the comment! I started not one but TWO versions of this in normal 'verse and had a third in mind by the time I finally realized that it would work well in mirror!verse. I'm glad you like this take on the mirror!them -- I have really enjoyed very harsh mirror fics, but I always see them as almost more vulnerable to each other than they are in normal 'verse when I write them as mirror!dudes.

And I always love when Sulu calls Chekov baby. Totally my weakness!

Me toooo ;____; I almost never go out of my way to use "baby" in fic, it just always ends up feeling right. :D

;___________; I love your mirror!verse stories so much. And this one was adorable <3

[hollycomb]

Thank you! Adorable is usually what I'm going for with mirror!verse, if I'm honest. ;)

I am like, FLOORED that you managed to get "baby" in a mirrorverse setting in a way that totally worked ;_____; I love how you write mirrorverses!! So lonely, it makes when Sulu and Chekov come together even more of a comfort, that they're finally able to lay in bed together and feel safe ;__________; Also, this was my prompt!! And I am so impressed with you giving it a mirroverse twist!! Ahah, that is so clever, and this is certainly playful and fun by those standards :3

gakldfgja ALSO~ I love Sulu making Chekov come over and over like it was no big d. ;_______________; ngjkadf. hot.

[hollycomb]

I REALLY DIDN'T MEAN TO fit my love for 'baby' in here, but then it ended up working!? And yeah I alway come at mirror!verse with 'how can I make this them' as opposed to 'how can I make this mirror!verse.' I want it to feel like them in the mirror!verse as opposed to the mirror!verse in them, if that makes sense.

asodfjiod this was your prompt!? I thought this one would be ~so easy~ but then I ended up laboring over it for three versions! It was worth it ~ I should send you my previous attempts, too, lol.

Sulu making Chekov come over and over is canon in any 'verse, for me ;__________;

[viivi]

I should send you my previous attempts, too, lol.

YES. YES YOU SHOULD. lol I wanted to ask earlier but then idk i didn't want to seem greedy ;__;

[fairhearing]

hey can i get in on this deallio

MIRROR VERSE HAS NEVER BEEN SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*______*

[hollycomb]

Thank you for reading!! I like reading intense mirror!verse stories but I don't seem to have a lot of interest in writing it unless there's cute involved. :3

[rubynye]

Oh my word YES.

I all but did a little dance when I saw this listed, and as is your way, it's even better than I was expecting (no matter how lovely a story I think you'll write, it delightfully shocks me by exceeding my anticipations). I love what you do with their dynamic, and all the more so spinning it through the Mirror, showing us what's inverted and what remains invaraibly true.

[hollycomb]

Thank you so much! Your comment made my afternoon. :)) I'm so glad you enjoyed this mirrorverse take on them ~ the only 'verse I can't conceive of is one where they wouldn't protect each other fiercely. ;--;
