Going Home

(August 1999) PG-13

 After seven years in the Delta Quadrant, Voyager finds a wormhole, manages to contact Starfleet Command, and returns to the Alpha Quadrant.  Now Janeway must stand alone, making demands of Starfleet on behalf of her crew. Will she lose whatever chance she may have had at personal happiness along the way?  (Note: Back in 1999 this was my opinion of what would happen when Voyager returned home from the Delta Quadrant. I still don't think it was a bad idea to end things this way! – DA Kent, January 2004.)
Tuvok's Blessing

(August 1999) PG-13

 Janeway finds encouragement in pursuing her relationship with her First Officer from the one person she least expects it from - Tuvok.
Love Reawakened

(August 1999) PG-13

 This story takes place immediately after the fifth season episode, "The Disease". (Some episode spoilers, but not many.) It is probably best, but not necessary, to have seen the episode before reading this.
Time Don't Run Out Of Me

(August 1999) NC-17 

 Both the Captain and the Commander have had many fantasies about what making love with each other would be like. But, when they finally come together for the very first time, is it really what either of them have dreamed about? Or, are they both afraid that maybe it's too late for them now, after all. Maybe their time has run out, and it's too late to pick up the pieces of what might have been.
A Picture Of You On My Mind

(August 1999) NC-17

 I suppose a lot of us J/C writers have that one J/P story inside us, that one episode on the holodeck where one major character catches another in a compromising position, a completely uninhibited love story that won't mean anything in the long run because it must forever be hidden away, with no one the wiser . . . 
A Temporary Solution

(September 1999) NC-17

 This story takes place immediately after the two-part sixth season episode, "Equinox." This story was written two weeks prior to the 6th Season Premiere - and the second part of "Equinox" - so I didn't know how things would be "resolved" - but this is my idea of what should have happened immediately afterward, in the privacy of the Captain's Ready Room. 
Tidings Of Joy

(September 1999) PG-13

 It's Christmas Eve, the sixth one spent in the Delta Quadrant. The captain attends Neelix's party in Holodeck One, but after only a few minutes she leaves and heads for some quiet time in the mess hall. Commander Chakotay joins her and they spend some time reminiscing about the past…and about New Earth. Is it too late for the captain to give in to old temptations and accept the second chance that Fate is handing her?
Slim Chance

(October 1999) NC-17

 The captain and commander transport back to Voyager from an away mission and Captain Janeway suddenly feels faint. What could it be? When the Doctor tells her she's carrying her first officer's child, she tells him it's impossible – she hasn't had a physical relationship in a very long time, and she's never had one with her first officer! 
(For the sequel, "The Stubborn Hand of Fate," see below.)

(January 2000) PG-13

Fair Haven's Spirit Folk

A Different Man

(August 2000) PG-13

 Whatever happened to Inspector Kashyk after he left Voyager and allowed Captain Janeway to continue on with her journey home? (Note: I wrote this story as a submission to the Strange New Worlds IV contest, but it was not chosen for the book.) And, no, it certainly isn't necessary to like Kashyk. In fact, I don't much like him myself.
The Stubborn Hand Of Fate

(October 2000) NC-17

Captain Janeway and Commander Chakotay welcome their child into the world, and they both begin to adjust to this new baby, and to the new turns in their own relationship.

The Trouble With Mushrooms
