Author's Notes
OK now listen up. This is a bit different from the usual Greywolf fare, ya dig it? If the mere concept of S/Mc makes ye go "Ewwww" -- ye're not gonna want to read this one. Ye are fair warned. This is kind of a challenge story, I guess; couple different folks challenged me to try this, so I did. You'll haveta tell me if it works or not.
Reactions and Reviews
Although it's hard for me to accept that S & Mc would actually act on any attraction they might feel for one another, this story depicted a scenario that made me believe. A wonderfully chilling and imaginative look behind the scenes at what their mirror counterparts might have done, and how they subsequently dealt with it.[1]
This is the story that made me believe that Spock/McCoy is a possibility. Thanks, GW, for taking us by the hand and leading us right where you wanted us to go.[2]
Greywolf's prelude to "Sugar Magnolia" sets it all up very deftly. Another great h/c tale from the Master.[3]
(Spock/McCoy) Following the Mirror experience, in which Spock and McCoy have each suffered brutality from one another's counterparts, they must force themselves to heal one another, and one thing leads to another. Beautifully written, tender but not over-sentimental, and both men firmly in character.[4]
This is very much your bread and butter variety of hurt/comfort and it hits the spot very well. It's also good to read fiction that deals with the Spock/McCoy pairing, which I enjoy just as much as Spock/Kirk.[5]
