Why This Must Be Read: A lovely fic showing one possibility of what happened after Endgame. There is bitterness (especially on Chakotay's part). There is snark (one of their natural states). There is discussion of The Pairing That Shall Not Be Named a.k.a. Seven/Chakotay. But most of all, that fiery, steamy attraction between Kathryn and Chakotay, which was always there even in their darkest moments throughout the show, punctuates every line. It's a lovely little fic.

Why This Must Be Read: For me, this has always been the defining fic of what could have happened after the crew made it home. Murphy's Law did not stop applying itself to the crew just because they achieved their goal. Everyone faces heartbreak, as well as the challenge of being tied to a single planet after so long on the road, so to speak. Everyone is remarkably in-character, especially Janeway. All of the pairings are treated with respect, even if all of them are touched by cold reality. A great story.
