Description Aaand, I was watching the Ship's Closet, and Brittany mentioned that when Hephaistion died, Alexander "flipped his shit," which made me laugh, because that's the most perfect three-word summary of his actions I've heard.

I imagine that Mirror-Kirk would get very scary after the Khan incident. He can't kill McCoy, obviously, because we need him for the rest of the story, but I bet he really takes is out on him for letting Spock get past him. And perhaps Scotty too, just 'cause he's there. This picture spun out of the idea that Mirror-Kirk has his crew terrified that he'll self-destruct the ship in his fit of grief. Bones, who I imagine understands and likes Jim even in the Mirrorverse, and who anyway has Spock in his head, forgives the freak-out and tries to snap him out of it.

THIS NEEDS TO EXIST. There are a few good mirrorverse artists out there, but not so many good mirrorverse writers. Which is really a great misfortune.

Wow, that's a really neat concept, and I love the sort of brutal realism to it. Your painting is lovely, as always, and I love everyone's expressions. There's a lot conveyed in McCoy's face and the way he's gripping Kirk's arm. Kirk's expression (and head injuries D8) and intriguing, and really makes one think about the horror that must be going on in his mind right now.

Thank you so much! I was playing with the idea that he'd cropped his hair. None too carefully. With his belt knife. I DON'T KNOW, IT SEEMED FITTING.

So he did it because he lost his mind after Spock's death?
