FINALLY some excellent B'Elanna characterization
(from Geoffrey Thorne's “Or The Tiger”, another story in “Distant Shores”)

Still watching the credits roll, but: She fought for them. She saw it all beforehand, saw her part through, but refused to let theirs end as foretold. Because she loved them. Her memory - physical and not - lead them all the way to the discovery of their own fate. And she committed her boys' story to stone and wood.
And after that, she left her love his own story. How it started and how it will go on. She painted him in her colour. He is worshipped. He is loved. He will know what that kind of love feels like. He has a role - one he never imagined, but one he will take. He has a reason to live.
To grieve deeply is to have loved fully. Open your heart to the world as you have opened it to me and you will find every reason to keep living in it.
He has a path. Both of her boys do.

Comedy gold if just before the end of the time skip Lime has an open and honest conversation with himself saying that yes he did love mochi and she means the world to him but she’s gone now maybe it’s time we moved on in life and he’s finally able to say goodbye to her out loud while by himself in some tent he’s made himself for the night. And then the next morning Mochi comes back and he’s just “fuck all that my GIRL IS BAAAAACK!!! :DDDD”
HONESTLY HE DOES GO THROUGH SOMETHING LIKE THIS DURING THE TIMESKIP!!!!! (over a much longer period of acceptance, and honestly, good for him he needed to learn how to let go and not have an unhealthy obsession)
BUT HE WENT THROUGH ALL THE STAGES OF GRIEF JUST TO HAVE HER COME BACK AND NOW HES LIKE "well fuck i already emotionally told myself i would let her go and now shes here and shes wonderful and beautiful as ever, do I stick to my convictions of letting it go or let myself fall in love with her again?!" -- he says to himself but really fighting against it is so impossible for him. he claims "No I'm over her, I swear to god. I'm grown and matured as a person and I don't like how much she influences how I feel, I won't let myself fall in love with her AGAIN." and then she pops in like "Do you want to get pancakes? They have a blueberry swirl frosting special this week!! 👉👈 " and hes like "Fuck. Yes. God damn it I love her so much."
