#For Tom Harry and B'Elanna

[muiromem]

Currently lying in bed like this:

Thinking about what it would be like if Voyager had an episode like Leverage's "The Long Goodbye Job".

Something where it looks like Janeway's plans and choices got her entire crew killed. She's been captured (by the Borg Queen? Some other threat?) and has to go through some kind of interrogation to explain how her gamble, her choice of risks, failed them all - that she not only didn't get them home but got them all killed. Her best friend Tuvok, the young officers like Harry that she'd tried to guide and nurture, even Chakotay...

Only of course in the end it's a lie, a ruse to distract and stall for time, in order to stop whatever threat brought her to this point in the first place.

I would love something like this....

Tom tries out Voyager's new diagnostic device (which allows doctors to experience patients' sensory input) with B'Elanna. Everything seems normal until Tom sees a new color visible only to Klingons. Soon, the whole crew is begging B’Elanna to let them see the "Klingon Color."

Torres resists on the grounds that she's "just not comfortable letting everyone on the ship feel her senses" but eventually relents and lets Harry try it.

The color was green. Tom is colorblind.

STAR TREK: VOYAGER // S1E6 The Cloud A nebula? What were we doing in a nebula? No, wait, don't tell me. We were "investigating." That's all we do around here. Why pretend we're going home at all? All we're going to do is investigate every cubic millimeter of this quadrant, aren't we?

Inspired by this post: What if B'Elanna reveals to Harry that she feels insecure about not knowing much about her Human (Puerto Rican) heritage after two interactions at the beginning of the episode - one with Chakotay and one with Tuvok where they both display a deep connection to their heritages and cultural practices. Harry then reveals that he's also mixed - his mother being Chinese while his father's Korean. Like Chakotay, he wasn't very interested in cultural practices as a kid (he seems like he'd find them boring at a young age) and his parents didn't push him to participate or learn which was fine when he was a kid but as he got older he began to feel a sense of displacement, guilt, and frustration. It's easier to just be 'Human' rather than taking ownership of anything more specific, especially since to most people he's not visibly mixed, but with being away from his family he feels now more than ever that he wishes he'd connected to that heritage. He expresses the same yearning that B'Elanna brings to him - he's also noticed that Tuvok and Chakotay can connect to their parents, their people, their faith even so far away...that connection gives them a strength and assurance that both Harry and B'Elanna envy. He tells her about the Alter Ego coaching incident and B'Elanna tells him about the Meditation Fail. They both tease each other good naturedly. B'Elanna tells Harry about how Chakotay instructed her in some of his cultural practices (we see in 'Cathexis' that she has knowledge of these practices) and how she started being jealous then, specifically of how he can connect to and sort of amend his relationship with his father (which was rocky in life) THROUGH these practices and the faith he carries in them. She sometimes tried to do the same privately but it felt like acting, uncomfortable. B'Elanna's different from Harry, having been bullied for her Klingon side heavily, she wanted very much to claim her Human (Puerto Rican) heritage. She never saw it as something boring and often tried to connect with her cousins etc over it but they always pushed her away, asserting she was 'Klingon' and as 'Other.' After her father left, she seems to have been entirely cut off from her Human side of the family. When she grew enough to do her own research into her heritage, she felt overwhelmingly that it was already too late for her to connect to this side of herself. People already only call her "Klingon" though she's half Human. If she were to attempt to claim anything more specific, she'd surely just be laughed at. Harry smiles and bumps her shoulder with his own. "I'm not laughing," he says. "You're smiling." "I usually am." Then B'Elanna smiles too. Throughout the series (from that point on) we can see B'Elanna and Harry practicing Mandarin, Korean, and Puerto Rican Spanish. Though they start off just helping the other, they start to learn all three languages between them and sometimes have conversations as they're working together which become less and less stilted as time goes on. Harry even learns a bit of Klingon! This leads to B'Elanna's Human grandmother or something being the one to contact her instead of her no-good-space-racist-daughter-abandoning-terrible-scum-father and B'Elanna opening the conversation by speaking to her in Spanish, to the woman's unabashed delight. B'Elanna quickly wipes away a tear at hearing how proud the woman is of her, how she grew up so beautifully, how she was afraid she forgot all about them or hated them for what her father did to her family but she's so pleased that obviously isn't the case, not if she took the time to learn their language. Afterward, we see B'Elanna restless in her quarters. She gets up and begins a letter. It's to her mother, whom she still doesn't know the status of (her grandmother hasn't been in contact with her or B'Elanna's father). She starts in Standard then pauses and has the computer erase that entry, beginning again in Klingon. End.

Here are the sign-ups for the Star Trek Polyship Calendar

Rules are listed in the calendar! Here are some quick things though.

All poly ships are welcomed in the calendar. While the host is a Mcspirk blog, you do not have to draw just Mcspirk! So long as it's a Star Trek poly ship, it's allowed. QPRs are welcomed!

The goal is to have the calendar done in time for 2025, however if it's not then everything will be pushed back, and the new goal will be 2026.

All fanart must be sfw.

More information will be given after each month is taken.

Other than that please reblog so plenty of people see it! This event is to cheer on all of the star trek poly ships!

Janeway and Chakotay have No Time for the Good Children (Harry and Kes) because they are so busy keeping the Problem Children (B'Elanna, Tom, Seven) from smashing their life into pieces so Tuvok has to pick up the slack.

Star Trek Voyager, 3x26 - Basics, part 1

Captain Kathryn Janeway as a Brilliant Tactician, part 1, 2, 3 (version 1) (version 2)

This battle is often overlooked but I think this is also an amazing showcase for Janeway and the Voyager crew.

Voyager was up against 4 large Kazon (formerly Trabé ships). Significantly larger than Voyager many times over. Janeway's other talent is bringing together all the suggestions her crew threw together and executing it.

In this instance, using deflector and holo-technology to create ships to draw fire from Voyager.

Plus Janeway's job is to time their attacks precisely. One of the first example of Janeway having nerves of steel. She had to be patient and not let the distance or number of her enemies spooke her.

Voyager was winning the battle against the big Kazon-Nistrim ships-- until the moment their Kazon prisoner blew himself up, sabotaging Voyager.

(Honestly, I wish they repeated this tactic in other battles because it worked really well).

This is just a taste of the war leader Janeway becomes.

Star Trek: Voyager

That's five series cast pieces down! Some of the more challenging characters to capture were in this one. B'Elanna and, believe it or not, Seven Of Nine were the most difficult.

STAR TREK: VOYAGER // S6E22 Muse These stories will continue. For as long as we have the breath to tell them. And as long as our patrons remain wise and compassionate. And Voyager will continue on their journey to the gleaming cities of Earth, where peace reigns and hatred has no home.
