These stories all concentrate on the J/C relationship in one way or another.
Some are seriously meant, some
are utterly silly--some started out one way and transmuted into the other. Many of these stories
are deeply involved with the
physical side of love. I've marked I
have a long history with this poignant pairing. Initially I couldn't quite see it. Then the
Cruise Director persuaded
me to give it a try and I fell head over heels in love with love. Oh, the latent promise of
that first season! For a
couple of years my spirits rose and fell with a commercial TV show! That's over now--all
love affairs cool eventually--but I still
have these stories. I will forever be grateful for the inspiration.

War Story
Based on the
episode "The Killing Game". Chakotay's playing a holodeck scenario as an American captain in
occupied France. Problem
is, his alien mental implant makes him believe he really is a WWII GI. While fighting to
liberate Ste. Claire from Nazi
domination, he meets up with the Resistance--and one unforgettable dame.
Slip of the Mind
Written October 1997. Janeway wakes up with a big surprise in her bed and no idea how he
got
there. What's happened to
her memory--and her inhibitions? Humorous and romantic, with a few digs at "Mosaic".
Runner-up
for a Golden O award.
Existence
A script for an original episode.
Chakotay leads a party to search for desperately needed minerals. He's successful, but
when
he emerges from the
eerie, beautiful caves, Janeway and Voyager have vanished into the past...
The Cardassian Mask
Written 1995-1996. A full-length novel set at the end of Voyager's first season, featuring
Seska. A roller-coaster
adventure of lush romance and heartstopping action! My fanfic magnum opus, and damn, am I
proud of it. :)
Available as a print zine, lavishly illustrated.
First Officer (Poem)
Chakotay speaks in sonnet form. Published in Now Voyager.
Maquis (Poem)
Janeway's reply.
Revelations
Written May 1996. Closely based on "Resolutions", and taking place during it, this is a
meditation
on the relationship that
Janeway and Chakotay developed while alone on New Earth, and a possible sequence of
events during
that period. Serious and
romantic, with some humor. Published in Now Voyager.
The Snow Queen
Written November-December 1995. A novelette of seven chapters. Captured by primitive
aliens, the captain, first officer, and
pilot of Voyager must survive freezing conditions with no equipment--and no
clothes. An adventure story with a strong
tongue-in-cheek element and a highly sensual atmosphere. A popular favorite!
I Am Chakotay's Pillow
Just what the title implies! An unusual vantage point on the aftermath of "Resolutions".
Another reader favorite.
Blowing Off Steam
Written February 1996. Janeway receives a gift of a holodeck program from Paris, and when
she finally gets around to
using it, Chakotay stumbles on a scene that has him all hot and bothered. Will the captain
spot him in hiding before
he can get some satisfaction? A lightweight romp with some commentary on the use of
holodecks.
Five Minutes
Set at the end of "Deadlock". The ship is linked with an exact counterpart in a parallel
universe.
On that counterpart, two members of the Voyager family are dead. On this ship, Vidiians
are aboard,
harvesting the crew's body parts. Janeway has decided to arm the self-destruct system,
but she
sees a way to save something small out of the chaos. Published in Now Voyager.
The Notorious Rake
A very twisted variation on the J/C relationship, postulating an utterly uninhibited
captain and
an innocent first officer. Not for the sensitive, but blackly humorous and extremely
sexy! A cult favorite.
The Best of All Possible Worlds
At the end of the third season, Janeway and Chakotay catch their breaths on the holodeck
and
talk about the prospects for their lives. Is it better to take imperfect reality as it
is, or
strive to change the universe? Published in Now Voyager.
Back Rub
An interlude overheard in the captain's ready room. She's been working too hard, but he's willing to lend a
hand.
This Is The Captain Speaking
Written mid-1995. The entire crew of Voyager changes sex and must
deal with the effects while attempting to find a solution. This is a bit strange :)
but humorous. Enduringly popular!
