Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace by SLWalker
[ - ]
Summary:

Belfast by Shapesoftime, CC By-NC-SA


This story arc focuses on the Mirror Universe version of Montgomery Scott, for the most part, though the side stories have a whole lot of other characters and a whole lot of people you might not expect show up. Starting with his life as a rebel engineer, and Empire-created orphan, it follows how he got 'drafted' into Empire service and the rather cold-blooded results of that, all the way through the TOS era. He starts out as the hero of the story, but in the end... well, it's very much up to the reader how they view him.

This is a violent tale, but not entirely. Like most mirror stories, there are mentions of sex, violence and lots of other stuff, but it's not really glorified and never can be called gratuitous. It is also very plot-heavy in how things tie together, hence the reading order explained below. Just remember that he was born in 2222 and you should be fine.

Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace is the main story of the arc, and stands alone. It's written in past-to-present-to-past style. The rest of the stories, from Another Man's Treasure to Inevitable are all POV pieces that enhance the main arc. Those are meant to be read in chronological order.

One Minute by SLWalker    Rated: M    Liked  Reviews (15
Summary: Past Featured Story

(2245 - 2254) This is a very intense first-person POV story from the perspective of the free agent who acts as the go-between from Scott to the rebellion while he's stationed on Earth. Starting with the free agent's twisted one-sided obsession with a shadow, this story's very dark in the beginning, but it certainly isn't all dark and misery -- as time goes on, things change. This story is a heart-breaker. There's no easy way to sum it up, but if there's one thing you can call it, you can call it very human. Pay attention to my warnings, though, please.

Conditioning by SLWalker    Rated: M      Reviews (2
Summary:

(2245 - 2255) A much shorter story, it looks at how things change over time (how much of it conditioning, how much of it choice?) from One Minute more from Scott's perspective, though the relationship is still rather one-sided. 'Haunting' is probably the best way it was described. It covers a lot of ground in a small space. Violent in the beginning, warm in the moments... and sorrow in the end.

Stone by SLWalker    Rated: MA    Liked  Reviews (4
Summary:

(2245) A very dark look at Andy when he's still a much more messed up individual, as he was in Part I of One Minute. At his drug use, at sex (not gratuitous in writing, though it is in his life), and finally at his obsession. Very rough piece.

Stalemate by SLWalker    Rated: T    Liked  Reviews (1
Summary:

(2249) Andy's getting his life on track, and part of that means being honest and decent towards a former obsession, turned genuine interest. Takes place around the end of Part II of One Minute. A rather domestic look at how he thinks, and feels... a normal life on part, and then life in the shadows, with a shadow, on the other.

Summary:

(2252) A little more fluff; Andy and Scott in Hawaii, between Parts II and III of One Minute. A first-person story from a more mature, cleaned-up Andy, about the corniness of tourist created junk that takes on meaning. And how much even a simple t-shirt can mean, in context.

Loyalties by SLWalker    Rated: MA      Reviews (3
Summary:

(2259) Pike's descent into madness, Kirk's rise to power and the assassin who isn't really there at all. This is a very dark story at the beginning. It ties together elements of Wraith, Patterns and Betrayals in the main arc, though it's a side story in the Mirror Universe arcs and pretty much references everything. Direct sequel to Shards.
