The Dance by Jemima (PG)
Fandom: STAR TREK: VOYAGER
Pairing: Chakotay/Janeway, Paris/Torres, 7/EMH
Author on LJ: ?
Author Website: Jemima's Chevron
Why this must be read: Because it is lyrical and stately. Because, even though the author bills it as an 'all-Tom-all-the-time' story, it provides real insight into the downtime of the entire crew. Because it's Chakotay/Janeway, and you won't often find me recommending that.
Jemima has caused me a bit of dismay, because I realise that three of the fics I have on my list are written by her. Since I promised myself that I'd only rec each writer once, I had to sit down and think hard about my favourite. The Dance, at least for today, won out.
Written in the form of a letter from Tom Paris to an alien dignitary this fic explores the sequelae of the episode Tsunkatse. It's measured phrases highlight the romanticism without becoming maudlin; and, as I said above, I think that it illustrates the day to day life of the crew.
