A "Star Trek: Voyager" novella (alternate universe).

The Alpha Quadrant stands on the brink of war. While Starfleet continues its private battle with the Maquis, the Cardassians and the Dominion lurk on the outskirts of quadrant waiting for their chance to join the fray. In the midst of battle, old lovers turned enemies will be unexpectedly reunited and forced to chose between their loyalty to their political factions and the dictates of their hearts.

Parts 1 - 15 inc. and parts 17 - 32 inc. are PG-13. Part 16 is rated NC-17

AUTHOR’S NOTE: This is very much an "alternative universe" story. While I have attempted to follow canon wherever possible, the nature of the story dictated that I take certain creative liberties with character and plot histories that have been established on Voyager, and to a lesser extent, Deep Space Nine.
