Review:
Five paths Kira's life might have taken: justice, fortitude, hope, faith and charity.
There are a lot of people that are not fond of the "Five Things" format for fics. While I agree that it has been overused in certain fandoms and that it can be an extremely limited way of telling a story, I think that a well done "Five Things" fic can be an excellent way of addressing a multitude of "what-if" scenarios.
What I love about this story is that the scenarios, besides being very well written, are incredibly plausible: I can definitely see Kira clinging to the Resistance in the face of what she perceives as a second occupation with the Federation taking the place of Cardassians and events in key episodes such as "Behind the Lines" taking a different path. All in all this is a well crafted story that explores many facets of the character.
