This is
a novel (condensed and reworked for posting) I wrote while recovering from
an injury during the first few months of 2000. Written for my own
amusement, mostly in response to how much I was disenchanted with Season
Six Voyager. Basic plot: I am now considering this a type of
A/U Voyager story. Voyager returns to the AQ. It's J/C.
Think of it starting sometime near the end of Season 7, except that the
seventh year talked about here has little to do with the seventh year the
powers that be have given us. Unfortunately for us...
Dedicated
to all J/C'ers, everywhere. Carry the flame. You know
the truth. ;-)
NOTE: Ratings are given for each section, a few are rated NC-17.
