J7 Fanwork Event

Alright, it continues!

After the poll that showed that there's definitely interest in a J7 Fanwork Event (what format(s) to be discussed), I've set up a Discord Server to hang out, work together and organize more easily. I will also always share any important information on this blog!

This Discord is explicitly not just for creators but also for fans of fanworks - you wonderful hype-squad! Feel free to share & reblog!

You can follow this link to join:

https://discord.gg/4XbwYweckF

If you'd like a different way to participate, please reach out to me and let me know directly, I'll then organize an alternative way to involve you in the organization/planning process.

To start, I'm tagging everyone that has reblogged or responded to the poll below the cut!

So I've decided to continue writing in the universe I've set up in a previous story. This time, it's a little exploration of what it looks like when Janeway and Seven got their shit together, but someone's head has to catch up to their heart.

Smut, Fluff, Angst, we got it all. Also featuring some supreme daftness from our Captain and Seven being her usual witty self. Kathryn's gotta figure some stuff out, ok? But she gets to figure it out with Seven, so it's alright. They'll just have to fuck about it.

You can read both individually, but I'd recommend checking out the first part of the series to get the references and general vibe.

FIC: The Captain and her Captain

It's 2403, the Enterprise-G is has just completed its 2nd 6 month mission with Captain Seven in Command. Starfleet and the Federation are trying to rediscover their spirit of adventure and peaceful exploration. Good job the new Commander-in-Chief, one Admiral K. Janeway, knows a thing or two about that.

Or, what happens six months on from the final scene of the final episode of s3 of Picard for Seven and Janeway, with some attempt to explain how they got there, because I had questions. Lots of questions.

[aka yes, ncruuk's gone and done another epic]

Read Chapter 1 on AO3 (updates weekend & midweek)

[grayrainbow173]

There is a new chapter ready for you to read! This one is written from Seven's POV. Enjoy! 🖖

Story Summary: Kathryn has to fight to keep her crew alive when Voyager gets hit by a strange anomaly, all the while she battles with her feelings for Seven.

[voysubplots]

When Voyager discovers a new class of planet, Janeway puts herself, Tom, and a few other crewmembers on the away team sent down to investigate. Chakotay desperately tries to convince her not to go, but Seven gets to work designing a new type of protective away-mission gear for the Captain.

When Seven tries to get her to wear the gear, Kathryn thanks her but refuses. Tom asks if he can still wear his, and Seven informs him that she did not make any in his size. He asks why, but she simply arches an eyebrow at him, clasps her hands behind her back, and walks away. 

B’Elanna laughs at this before remembering to be angry about it.

[sempersev]

Not feeling well today so just lying here blowing up the AI generator with the following prompts....

> Janeway and reader are in a secret relationship and subtly tease each other in a room of people trying out-arouse the other the most (because Janeway licking her lips while gazing over at me would crumble me)

> Janeway catches reader flirting with Seven, yanks reader into her quarters and shows her what's what (because I love Dom!Janeway)

> Janeway somehow becomes a vampire and seductively feeds on Seven every night, then makes her forget (because Janeway would be pretty sexy with fangs)

Basically I just keep adding 20 things and hoping the story turns out perfect so I don't have to edit much. 90% will be great and then along comes the 20% that makes no sense. Like the male anatomy Janeway suddenly sprouts, or how she can be on her knees one second and then upside down on the ceiling the next. (Okay, maybe not that extreme, but still.) Either way, I'm having fun. I saved a few of the better ones to share at some point.

[moonxshape]

I wrote something. Like, for a deadline and everything. Unprecedented levels of adulting within fandom.

Then I made it a wee summary meme, as a treat.

I'm afraid I also coined the phrase Trek on Trek action and you can pry that out of my cold, dead paws.

@startrekpotluck : thank you for doing the work of the fandom angels with organising this event again. A shot of garelka for you each 🫠

The planet with two faces

I wrote this for @haruspeks in the @startrekwintergiftexchange ! I've worked on it for the entire month lol with my partner, we had so much fun thinking of scenarios and stuff! We also invented a Delta Quadrant planet haha :) I hope you like it! <3

"Chakotay!" Janeway calls out for her number one.

Her head hurts - the Janurean who just hit her, lays knocked out on the ground.

"Captain," a strained voice comes from behind Janeway. "We have to retreat, there is no winning this..."

"Just stay behind me!" Janeway commands. But more and more Janureans flood into the room.

"Surrender," their leader says. "And we will spare your life."

Janeway looks the hostile alien in the eye. "No."

One day earlier

~

"Captain, Seven," the Doctor greets the two women in his sick bay.

"Is this really a good idea, Seven?" Janeway frowns at her ex-borg Astrometrics officer. But a smile tugs at the corners of her mouth. Seven looks as determined as ever. A quality Janeway appreciates, as she is a stubborn person herself. Debating Seven is never dull or easy.

"My calculations are sound. I assure you, captain, it is safe."

"I concur," the Doctor says, examining the screen with data about the procedure he's about to conduct on them. He tilts his head, looking at Janeway. "You won't feel a thing."

"That's not what I am worried about," Janeway says with one eyebrow raised.

"We will be at great tactical advantage, and will not need transponders," Seven answers.

Janeway squints and scrunches her nose. Seven will always get her way in the end anyway. "Let's just get this over with..."

~

"What's on the menu today, buddy?" Chakotay asks Neelix with a smile.

"Oh! Well, nothing special today, I'm afraid, commander. But! Tomorrow I will have the chance to collect all kinds of delicious herbs and vegetables from Janu. I can't wait to cook with those! It's almost Voyager's birthday, did you know that? I'm going to make an excellent Voyager birthday soup!"

Chakotay looks straight at him.

"Oh! Well, today, I do have a stew, famous on Earth for it's spices and... sloppy texture..."

"Right... Thank you, Neelix."

Seven walks into the mess hall.

"Seven! What a nice surprise, I don't see you often here in the mess hall."

"I'm not here to eat," Seven tells him. I'm here to discuss the tactics of the mission with the captain and commander Chakotay."

"You know, I'm also joining your expedition!"

"You are?"

"Why yes, it's so I can collect some delicious herb-"

"Captain." Seven walks up to Janeway, who just entered the room. "Is it wise to bring Neelix with us? He has insufficient combat training."

"We won't be fighting anyone, Seven," Janeway says calmly.

"How do you know this?"

"We're going there to scan for Deuterium, as we can't pierce the magnetic field of the planet. We'll be in and out, no questions asked."

Janeway and Seven sit down at Chakotay's table, and they talk while Janeway and Chakotay eat from the stew reluctantly. Seven looks at it, puzzled.

"Do you truly choose this over ration bars, Captain?" she asks.

Janeway looks at Seven, not able to hide her smile anymore. "You know what, Chakotay? Seven has a point."

~

Janeway, Neelix, Chakotay and Seven get ready to step into the Delta Flyer.

"Good luck finding that Deuterium source, team!" Tom Paris says. "And..." he looks at Chakotay. "Take care of her for me?"

Seven looks at Janeway, searching her face for answers.

"He means the Deltaflyer."

"Of course I will," Chakotay reassures Tom Paris. He pats him on the shoulder and enters the flyer. Paris looks after them, a smile on his face but his eyes revealing worry. He is the best pilot after all, not Chakotay. But the commander has more experience dealing with pre-warp civilizations. He sighs and looks after them as they fly away.

They leave Voyager and fly into space, approaching the red and green planet of Janu.

"Isn't that pretty," Neelix gushes, looking ahead. "It's like the planet has two faces, one on each side with it's own color."

"We will be 100% undetectable with the Deltaflyer's improved camouflage," Janeway says.

Chakotay nods. "And we should be able to cruise through the magnetic field with our navigational deflector and coating. The corrosive effects of the field should keep to a minimum."

Seven and Janeway raise their eyebrows.

As they get closer to the planet, they enter the magnetic field. The shuttle begins to shake and they are hit by some space rubble.

"Shields at 80 percent," the computer voice says.

"Hold on, this will be a bumpy ride!" Chakotay says. Everyone grips their armrests.

"Shields at 40 percent," the computer says in the same steady tone as always. But the crew doesn't feel so steady. They bounce around the aircraft. The only one still in place is Chakotay, a crazed look in his eyes, mirroring his past when he was still with the Maquis.

~

Janeway slowly comes to. Her vision sharpens and she sees a wooden ceiling. Her head hurts. In fact, her entire body hurts. She slowly turns to look at her surroundings and sees someone sitting in a chair beside her. It's a Janurean.

"Oh no, the prime directive," Janeway thinks. But it's too late for that now.

"How are you feeling?" The Janurean asks.

"Like I've been hit by something big. But it seems you're taking good care of me."

The Janurean blushes and smiles. It's a young woman. "I'm taking care of you and your friends. You fell out of the sky. You must be our gods."

"Oh, no, not at all," Janeway says a bit too hasty. Because waking up, she doesn't have a good cover story yet. "We, ah, we got swept up by a mighty wind, and then we fell down, it's quite remarkable."

"How could the wind sweep up a house made of metal?" the woman says.

"I have no idea either," Janeway says. She sits up, rubbing her temple. The lack of morning coffee is becoming a real problem.

Janeway hears someone groaning. She turns around and sees her crew all in beds, clothed in Janurean robes. They are also waking up. No sign of their transponders or combadges.

"Where are our clothes?" She asks.

The woman looks at her apologetically. In a hushed voice, she says, "it's not safe to wear the clothes of the gods. We're protecting you here, but there are many who also saw the falling star. And they're looking for you."

"What do they want with us?" Chakotay chimes in.

"They think the falling of the gods means the end of time. Destroying you is the only way to save our world. I know, it's foolish and I don't believe it at all. It think you're here to enlighten us. And so does my family."

A small family enters through the doorway. A young male, an elderly person and two small kids. One shy, the other waving at them. Neelix winks at her. She laughs. "You look funny," she says. Neelix smiles.

"I'm very grateful you've tended to us, but I need to know where our clothes and things are, and where our... metal house is?"

"Oh, don't worry, we have hidden your house well. Nobody can find it. It's safe."

"I appreciate that," Janeway says, getting annoyed now, "but I still would like to know where it is."

"Please," the woman says. "Tell us about the skies? Teach us?"

Janeway and Chakotay look at each other.

"How do you feel?"

"I've been better," Chakotay jokes.

Seven eyes the windows and door of the room. She gets up. Her dress is brown and wavy. Janeway thinks it suits her better than the suit the Doctor gave her. Her hair is loose and falls over her shoulders. Seven shoots her a look. Janeway quickly looks back at Chakotay.

The Janureans huddle together in the doorway. "It's not safe to go outside," they urge Seven.

"Let's try to think of a plan first," Chakotay says.

"Let me through, I can take care of myself," Seven insists. She pushes past them and is out of sight.

Chakotay looks at Janeway like he blames her. Janeway ignores it.

~

Seven walks outside. It's early morning. Three moons grace the green sky. The house of their hosts stands in a small village. There are several shrines around, all portraying the moons. She scans the inscriptions. The shrines indeed tell the tale of the gods, that 'will come down again to bring forth the final Wisdom'. Nobody is outside yet but her. She resolutely walks over the village square, in a straight line towards the small alien forest beside it...

~

Janeway and Chakotay try various ways to get the family to give back their gear. But nothing seems to work: they don't respond to appeals to their ego, and will not be divided in any way. They just want to learn about the sky. Chakotay tells them some basic things that wouldn't further compromise the prime directive. Janeway looks distracted. They all have breakfast together, everyone except for Seven, who's still gone. Chakotay peers out of the windows. But Janeway just chows down on the food they've been given.

"Well, this is delicious!" Neelix breaks the tension. "What is this made of?"

One of the children says, "It's my favorite too! We add herbs from our garden to make it extra tasty."

"I would love to see that garden!" Neelix says, friendly. The child quickly finishes their meals and tugs on Neelix's arm. The mother says it's okay, as the garden is fenced. Nobody will be able to spot Neelix there. They walk into the garden.

"Wow, these flowers are beautiful."

"And tasty!" The kid says.

"I really like this place, it's so pretty! And your family so nice."

"Not everyone is nice," the kid says, face clouding over.

"Oh, yes I heard the people who want to capture me and my friends?"

"They are mean about that, yes. But they are always mean. They want to go back to how things were before."

"How were things before?"

"I don't know! I'm just a kid." Neelix smiles.

"But I do know where your stuff is! Come, follow me!"

Neelix follows the kid around a corner, and through a shrub, out of the garden.

"You know kid, sometimes you gotta look back in order to move forward. But forward you must go."

They walk to a shed behind the house.

"Here it is!"

Neelix opens the door of the shed, and puts their combadges into his pocket.

"YOU THERE!" An angry Janurean calls. He has a whole bunch of fierce looking friends behind him.

"I guess these are the mean people," Neelix says to the kid and they both run around the house, back inside.

"Where did you just come from?" The mom asks the kid.

"I just showed him their stuff..."

"That's dangerous!"

"But it's theirs!"

"Please, don't blame your kid, I shouldn't have let them out of the garden in the first place."

Neelix gives the combadges back to Janeway and Chakotay.

The angry mob bursts into the room.

"Give us the tri-moon gods!" their leader commands.

The young woman who tended to the Voyager crew, hisses. "Leave the gods be! They are here to teach us!"

"They are here to destroy us!"

Janeway stands up. Her injuries are still fresh, but her wit has fully returned. "We are neither gods, teachers nor destroyers. We are simply explorers from the other side of Janu. We just want to go back home-"

The angry Janureans attack and hit the elder Janurean.

"Leave them out of it!" Chakotay calls out and jumps into the fray.

Everyone is fighting, except for Neelix who hides under a table with the two kids.

Janeway jumps in front of a big Janurean that was about to hit the young woman. In stead, the blow lands on her head. She's out of a moment. When she comes to, the fight is still ongoing.

"Chakotay!"

"Captain, we have to retreat, there is no winning this..."

"Just stay behind me!"

"Surrender," their leader says. "And we will spare your life, for now."

Janeway looks the hostile alien in the eye. "No."

And at that exact time, Neelix, Chakotay and Janeway disappear.

~

"How did you know where the Delta Flyer was?" Chakotay asks Seven, who sits smugly at the helm.

"Irrelevant," she jokes.

"Seven used her Borg-skills to locate it," Janeway says, smiling into one corner of her mouth. "That is, she saw some bushes outside of the village and used her, very human, common sense." Seven smirks.

"How do you know that?" Chakotay asks.

"The Doctor installed a temporary mind-link in our cerebrum. This way, we could communicate, not that much unlike the Borg, and work together."

"It was highly effective," Seven adds. "Although," she pauses for a moment, looking at Janeway. "It was strange as well. I thought I would be more used to a shared mind, but I think... I like a bit of mystery."

Janeway, Chakotay and Neelix look at her, dumbfounded. Then everyone laughs. Except for Seven.

"And guess what?" Neelix says. And he shows a bag full of herbs from the planet. "We will eat Voyager birthday soup tomorrow!"

Chakotay and Janeway politely smile and thank Neelix. Seven raises her eyebrow.

"Captain," she says.

"What is it, Seven?"

"Why did you give all those replicated goods to the Janurean family?"

Janeway sighed. "I know we can't interfere with their lives too much, but at least they will be able to buy off their enemies for a while so they don't get more trouble. Didn't you get that through our link?"

"Your emotions often cloud your judgement and your thoughts become hard to read."

"I'm a human being, having emotions is part of the package deal. Besides, I feel your emotions as well."

Seven looks stoic, too stoic maybe.

"It is nice to understand each other for once, though."

[genius2mania]

The sun is shining, and “Slowly, then all at once” has another update!

I’ve been adding to this collection of moments between Janeway and Seven over the years, and I’m happy to say that they keep popping up in my brain - if in very chaotic intervals.

Each moment stands for itself, but all together, they paint the picture of two women, learning and growing together, falling for each other slowly, then all at once.

Have a read and let me know what you think!

[googlekins]

“I can’t take it anymore!” Janeways voice broke , deeper and with a reverberation that shook Seven of Nine to her core.

“For what, Captain?” Ice blue eyes quizzical and apprehensive. “What, exactly can you not wait any longer for?”

“Kiss me.” The captain almost sobbed. “Kiss me like I know you want to.” A tentative step forward and she was in Sevens arms reach. “Kiss me because I can’t stand it any longer. Not expressing what is inside me.”

“Captain… I..” Seven reached forward and pulled her favorite person into a possessive embrace. “I will comply.”

Thank you for your patience! The 14th chapter is ready for you in which Kathryn and Seven find something spectacular in the caves...

I will try to keep writing between work, exams and family visits. It is a bit hectic at the moment but I hope to be back to my normal life in March. 🖖

Story Summary: Kathryn has to fight to keep her crew alive when Voyager gets hit by a strange anomaly, all the while she battles with her feelings for Seven.

[trillscienceofficer]

I really should... [grits teeth] explore the Janeway and Seven dynamic... more in-depth... in writing...
