Hakka & Dragoneyes Mirror Reboot Info Post

Since this fanfic is officially dropped, a summary post is in order to be linked whenever either I or aleniakalain post something related to our own Mirror Reboot world. It's easier this way than have to explain every single time what the reader need to know.

An introduction is in order.
We officially started writing this monster in 2010, after the fruitful attempt at trying to write something four-handed (we still need to fix that fic, though: sometimes it really sucks that English is not our mother language!).

At first it was simple: two characters developing as soon as meaningless chat RPG went by and a love-story to write. We took a logical approach: let's start from the first chapter, which was the birth of the boys, and let's go from there.
As months passed by ideas were included and what should have been a bigbang-long fic become a monster and soon not only the characters took a life of their own but the story got out of our hands. Which is why, in the end, we were forced to admit it was impossible to ever finish it and now the fic's been dropped. Even if it hurts, considering how much we put into it, and my fingers still hitch to try and continue it.
Oh, believe me, it would have been epic material, if we had the years necessary to properly reach the end.
The story was split in three parts (Book I, Ha’kiv - Life; , in an omage to Dante's Divina Commedia and had then developed in a kind of epic poem, with elements from Ilyades and ancient history.

Mandatory note: just don't go and steal from here for your own fic. If you're tempeted to, just ASK and don't go ahead before you got both mine and aleniakalain's permission to do so. This is our unborn baby so you might understand while we're very, very possessive about it.

I'll split the post because... too long! Notheless to say that they are potential spoilers in here for whatever art of one-shot lead you here.

Book I |   Book II   |   Book III

Hakka & Dragoneyes Mirror Reboot Info Post - Book I

Summary of the first book. The title is the Vulcan word for life as it covers the boys' life from birth to Jim entering Academy and Spock's promotion to Captain.

The book is finished, for obvious reasons (see below) un-betaed and with some words still in Italian (aleniakalain never managed a re-reading, in which she would usually fix english here and there). Split into four Word files, for a total of... well, many pages. Roughly more than 1000. Yep, pages.

I love the structure we chose. There are chapters in which we explore the same theme in both Spock and Jim life, in some kind of comparison to show how, in the end, their lives are entwined years before meeting. for chapters necessary to build Original or Secondary characters we opted for interludes, the point of view belonging to a specific character.
I don't really know how but we managed to get the perfect number of 200 chapters with 40 more interludes.

Hakka & Dragoneyes Mirror Reboot Info Post - Book II

Summary of the second book. The title is the Vulcan word for passion, as the book should have covered Spock and Jim butting heads until deciding they could as well do something more productive to vent off their energies.
It starts with Jim's Academy life and ends with... well, you see under the cut.
We happened to write a first Word file for this for a total of 161 pages.
While the first book was build with mixed chapters (see the notes of Book I), this one had mostly entirely Jim or Spock's chapters until their first real meeting.

Hakka & Dragoneyes Mirror Reboot Info Post - Book III

Summary of the third and last book. The title is the Vulcan word for death, and I don't need convoluted sentences to explain why.
Warning: if you've seen Oliver Stone's Alexander you might be ready to see how someone very relying on their soulmates react when said soulmates is brought away by Death.
