fic: Dare Not Speak -- Star Trek: Enterprise

Tucker’s face is pulled down in half a frown, one eye sealed closed. It’s because of a scar, a scar from the engines, those things he loves.

But then, someone once said-Reed can’t remember who, but he read them in school-and anyway they said that “each man kills the thing he loves.” And it’s true, at least in their case.

He remembers tracing the

That was a steamy and rough story. I think you described how a relationship between two officers in the Terran Empire would be. The mirror universe seems to have a harsher look at relationships. I'm not saying it doesn't exist softer expressed relations in it but the universe does got a darker feeling to it.

I think the characters was in character, Tucker being a more fuck-it person while Reed is a bit crazed. :)

I also thought it was quite cute of Malcolm to leave a paper note in Tucker's boot. :) The tension and raunchiness between them was a very good element and I can imagine them being like that because of who they are. A bit like forbidden fruit, ey? Another great line was when Tucker realized he stood in front of Major Reed in his undies. I thought it was a bit funny. :)

I do hope it work out between them... the mirror universe could always need a bit of love and caring. Although they most likely does it in another way. In the end, love is love, no matter how it's expressed. :)

Great story! Kudos! :D

Ack, what a lovely comment, thank you! It's really pleasing, actually, because you've pointed out some the very elements I was trying to get across when I wrote this.

The Mirror universe is, as you said, a lot darker. It's not an environment that really supports a romance, and I wanted to show that while still retaining some of Reed and Tucker's character from the original universe. Yep, like forbidden fruit!

And hey, maybe it does work out for them. It wouldn't be pretty, but it'd be there. It wouldn't be a romance, but they'd fuck, and sometimes, sometimes, Tucker would think it was something more.

...Whoops, got a bit carried away there. :P Thank you so much for reading, bb, and especially the lovely comment. c:
