I'd like to see how the pon-farr challenge would have progressed in the Mirror. Canon!T'Pring made it plain that she regarded Spock as beneath her pure-blooded Vulcan self. I have no doubt that she never intended to go through with the mating, that she had been more or less actively searching for another mate since she was adolescent. She must have *known* that Spock would be an extreme threat to her chosen lover, and so she chose to force Kirk and Spock into a death match that would leave Spock dead or imprisoned by Starfleet.

An ISS-trained Spock would be far more dangerous than canon - deadly, ruthless, relentless... an accomplished and experienced killer. A man who wouldn't hesitate to enforce her absolute submission if he was victorious. So, mirror!Spock, who might be more or less in control of his reactions during pon farr (depending on how you want to write it,) comes down with Jim Kirk - one of the most dangerous rattlesnakes in Starfleet.

Are Spock and Kirk already involved? Does the pon farr open either of them to each other? Could they work cooperatively when faced with T'Pring's betrayal? I wouldn't mind a K/S as lovers MMf theme, with T'Pring as their utter slave, her loyalty absolute.
