Oh, wow! This is absolutely perfect. I'm flailing a bit right now, but I loved this bit:

He pulled his fist before he hit the mirror. He had the feeling that putting his hand through glass because Mitchell had hidden his razor again wouldn't do much for the whole trying to show Mitchell how sane he was campaign.

and this:

He reached for his toothbrush and looked down in surprise when his fingers brushed against plastic. He took the razor in his hand and then put it back down again. He scratched his beard and looked at his reflection in the mirror and wasn't sure he knew the man staring back at him.

I could probably quote the whole thing. :)

Thank you.

Aw, thank you. :)

when I read Of Fish and Flowers (and the Cameron Mitchell calling Jack one), I just knew I had to tell Daniel's side.

I'm really glad you chose this one, because it was really interesting for me to see Daniel's pov as well. Strangely, in this universe, I can get into Cam and Jack's heads, but not Daniel's.

Great remix! I think you captured that sparse and bleak feeling of the original really well.

I really like the motif of the mirror, of reflections and broken shards and sharp edges and the way that it even links in with the iced-over lake and the window at the end.

And I especially love the ghosted presence of the others, where even the memories of them are beginning to fade.

Oh, that last line killed me!

I loved whimsicalwhims story, and this remix is sad and deep and beautiful.

Great quote/title. *shivers*
