Resonance by Alex Voy (PG-13)
Fandom: STAR TREK: VOYAGER
Pairing: Janeway, Seven, Torres
Author on LJ: ?
Author Website: The Voyager Odyssey
Why this must be read:
This fic is set during the Voyager episode Imperfection. The episode focused on Seven's reaction to her impending death from the failure of her borg systems, the fic shows those around Seven dealing with her condition and trying to find a solution. It's told from B'Elanna's POV and has excellent characterisation. But my very favourite thing about this fic is that it's very ambiguous about the nature of Janeway and Seven's relationship.
There have been rumours, of course; they started almost as soon as Seven came on board. Shipboard gossip is fast and often wildly imaginative. Personally, I take most of it with a pinch of Talaxian spice powder. It's just the over-active imaginations of a lot of people confined together in unnatural circumstances. When real life becomes too routine, they start to invent some wild ideas, based on the vaguest suspicions. It's not surprising that some of the more persistent rumours have concerned the Captain and her pet Borg.
I thought the whole idea was ludicrous. To be honest, I've never understood what the Captain saw in Seven of Nine in the first place. Why she kept trying to instil basic humanity into that cybernetic ice queen, I don't know. But she must have seen something that the rest of us had missed, because I have to admit that Seven has become a useful addition to the crew. She's not quite so insufferably arrogant these days, but she's still a pretty cold fish in my book, and the absolute antithesis of the Captain. It's ironic that she's suddenly becoming a lot more human now that she's about to die.
Resonance
On a different note this is my last rec of the month, it's been fun and I hope everybody found at least something worth reading. Remember, feed the authors.
