I've said on occasion that finding a fic missed when first posted is like stumbling on an unexpected gift; I felt that on reading this.
I read so many post-Doranda stories, I know I'm looking for something, some closure on that ep or some such. With this I think I found that. This left me so emotionally satisfied, I think it was the balance of the story, not only with each part complemented with a look at both sides of the mirror, which was very nicely handled, but also the balance of realism: how you used a beautifully subtle tone to cut through the pathos, leaving behind a rendering which was painfully believable.
I thought this was so very good, and I thank the heaven's for wonderful recs, which lead me back to treasure like this, missed the first time around. Thank you.
