Equinox Interludes by Julie Evans (PG-13)
Fandom: STAR TREK VOYAGER
Pairing: Burke/Torres, Paris/Torres
Length: long
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: Julie's Fanfic
Why this must be read: A welcome addition to the episode Equinox. I like how it fleshes out the episode and Burke and Torres' backstory. The tension between Burke and Paris is great, I wish they'd have more time to play that up in the episode. Some great discussion regarding Torres and Paris' relationship and good characterization.
"If B'Elanna acts happy to see an old friend and flattered by his
attention, just grin and bear it. Give her a little time to adjust to his presence, and pretty soon she won't pay any more special attention to
him than she does anyone else on Voyager. And I assure you B'Elanna
will appreciate your trust and your forbearance."
Tom stared at Harry. "Thanks for the sage advice, Harry," he said dryly,
and he even managed a wan smile, hoping it looked like his mind was
more at ease now. It would be sage advice if Max Burke were just an
old friend, the same guy who had known and befriended B'Elanna ten
years ago. But ten years was a long time. Tom was far from the same
person he'd been ten years ago. And something told him Max Burke had
gone through some immense changes too, maybe for the worse. "And I
trust B'Elanna completely," he added. That was very true. B'Elanna was
almost incapable of intentional deception, and she'd never mislead him
or lie to him. He had a feeling Max Burke was more than capable of
deception though. It was Burke he didn’t trust, at all.
"Good," Harry said, choosing to play it safe and go for the cereal instead
of the greenish egg concoction. "But if you need someone to vent your
feelings to, I'm always available."
Tom opted for the cereal too. "I appreciate that, Harry," he said
sincerely. "You're a good friend."
"I know," Harry said, without the least modesty. "And I won't even call
you 'Turkey Platter' anymore."
"Thanks," Tom said. "I guess I won't call you 'Ham on a Kaiser roll'
now."
Harry rolled his eyes. "That's the best you could come up with, Tom?"
