Oh, Aaron. :\
Someone had to give in, though...

Oh wow.

Oh OW.

I guess I'm not surprised that Aaron "fell" - he'd only had a very short time to be happy, and years of unhappiness. Yelena got more time to be happy with Victoria (oh, gods I hope whatever Velma does to fix things keeps her around), so she's probably more likely to come with Jack and Velma.

I still fear for Velma / Velveteen's fate at the end of all this.

1. cliffhanger on the ending: *worried wailing noises from the reader*

2. These two paragraphs are absolutely golden:
“My science is not weird,” said Victory Anna primly. “Improbable, perhaps. Arrogant, absolutely. But never weird. My science behaves with the appropriate poise and decorum at all times.” [...]
[...] “I defy their programming. Magic is just science with the safeties off, and everyone knows that safeties are why your hair isn’t currently on fire.”

(3. teeny typo of us/is: reflect is incorrectly.)

4. Repeat the first two a few dozen more times, while waiting (patiently!) for continuations. O:>

Eeee! I love it when we visit the multiverse.

Yes, there's a typo in “We’ve both been touched by the Seasons. I think that makes it harder for the mirrors to reflect _is_ incorrectly."

There are so many things to live in this story.

Thank you auto carrot. That should be "love". Meanwhile, a word is also missing from "
“You may not have a choice,” said Jack. “You can only stay in a mirror for so long before it either tries to eat you eject you." I think it's "or".
