The Snow Queen, by L. R. Bowen (NC-17)

Fandom: STAR TREK: VOYAGER
Pairing: Janeway / Chakotay / Paris
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: L. R. Bowen’s Fan Fiction
Why this must be read: This story is light, humorous, and sexy as hell. It starts with the cliché of three officers, trapped by unfriendly aliens on a cold planet. Of course, without clothes. Throw in some hurt/comfort, a number of daring escapes and brushes with death, and some great sex scenes in just about any combination of the characters that you could want, and you get a great story to curl up with on a crisp autumn night.

The developing relationships among the three characters, coupled with a bit of intriguing backstory, make this a much better story than the typical sex-romp, which I suppose it could be confused with. The author describes this work as “an adventure story with a strong tongue-in-cheek element and a highly sensual atmosphere”, and I think that description is quite apt.

Oh oh oh! This is the story that brought me over to the slash side of life. One of my absolute favorites. I was very disappointed with trekdom when there wasn't a rush of J/C/P stories after this one. Great rec!

Yeah, that's one of the great things about this story - it really has something for everyone :) I could see it as a gentle conversion to the slash side of things. And I agree that there's a sorry lack of good J/C/P stories out there....it's such a natural threesome, isn't it? This is just one of my favorite stories, one that I find myself rereading a couple times a year. Glad others like it, as well!
