Chapter 4 is up!

The Universe to Mend

Former captain, former denzit Kathryn Janeway is visited by Q, who asks her to upend her fragile peace: offering a way out of her exile in exchange for an adventure of a lifetime she's not sure she deserves.

Chapter Four: Things come to a head between our two versions of Janeway, and little Mollah reveals an unforeseen effect of her Krenim heritage.

1. High above the worlds you tread...

2. When the Fateless Soul and the Faithless God

3. Steal an Unturned Thread.

4. Slipped from her spool, the Fallen Star

I told myself I was going to dole these chapters out slowly. It has taken all my restraint to wait this long.

Elysium Weeping Chapter 2 is ready to go on AO3

Chakotay to Janeway when she asks about what they are: "Some lines shouldn't be crossed."

Like what? Proposing? Marriage? A certificate? Because you've done everything else at one point or another...

[quarks-pussy]

Hold on i need this out of my system...

Q: *talks about stupid shit he's about to do*

Janeway: Q, as much as I love you, I cannot let you do this. People will get hurt!

Q, stunned into silence for the first time in existence: .............what did you say

Janeway: What I mean is, there's people whose lives depend...

Q, interrupting her: nononono, the other thing.

Janeway: ...don't do it?

Q: You... love me? 🥺

Janeway: *scoffs* Not in that way, Q.

Q: yeanoyeasure yea i know.

*pause*

Q: But you... actually care about me?

Janeway: Of course I do, you're my friend.

Q, about to start crying: No one's ever said that to me before!

Janeway: Oh.

*another pause*

Janeway, awkwardly hugging Q: There, there.

Q: *starts bawling his fucking eyes out*

[grayrainbow173]

The Q... I both love and hate them 😂 However, I really liked the budding friendship between Q Junior and Icheb in this episode. I just thought Seven should have been a lot more involves. So I wrote this story to fix that. 😊🖖

Summary: Kathryn hopes that Q Junior will decide for himself to go after the aliens who attacked him and Icheb, but Seven is not so patient.

Missing scene from the episode "Q2" (S07E19).

Title: The Universe to Bend

Pairing/Characters: Q/Denzit!Janeway Maquis!Chakotay/Hologram!Janeway

Rating Mature | M

Warnings/Tags: Chooses not to use Warnings

references to canon torture, trauma, scarring, child loss, identity crisis, references to manipulative ex husbands. self-sacrifice. broken characters trying to put eachother back together.

Summary: A grieving Q has lost his faith in the Q continuum and the universe in the wake of losing his son to the omega continuum. He's outcast from the continuum,his powers constantly monitored.

Meanwhile, in a pocket universe on Sormana, A broken Kathryn Janeway, stolen from her original universe, has lost her dreams of exploring the stars. It's been 10 years since she set foot on a starship. Alone but for her half-Kremin daughter Mollah, she is trying to build a life for herself with the pieces of it she has left.

When Q discovers a universe ending threat, he seeks out Kathryn to help him solve it. But can she face the demons in her past in order to save the universe, and can she still fulfill the role of Captain, so many years after it was stolen from her?

Their adventure will take these three across the universes, to resurrect a holographic Janeway who has little in common with Kathryn, and to see the fate of Chakotay and Voyager in the universe where Kathryn was stolen from.

[mandalamarigold]

The Q and the Grey…. I mean seriously! They love each other.

WHY DID THEY MAKE Q SO SEXIST TO JANEWAY WHAT IS HAPPENING

[singeart]

Fic Writer Q+A

tagged by @mytardisisparked, thank you! <3

1. Why do you write fanfic?

I write if I feel like there's something left out of canon for me to explore or an idea I want to talk about, or to make my own comfort fics hehe

2. Which of your posted stories do you think about the most, even though the story is “finished”?

I am always thinking about Kathryn Janeway, PI, I want her to have a whole series of adventures (especially with Chakotay) but I haven't figured out how to make it work (yet??)

3. If you could give yourself fic advice from when you first started writing fic, what would that advice be?

Trust the process, trust it!!!! You will figure out how to write the thing I promise just give it time and take breaks if needed! Also your style will change and that's okay it doesn't mean you're getting worse at writing ToT there's no wrong way to do this it's for fun!!!

4. What’s your relationship to fic stats?

Every kudos, comment and bookmark gives me the warm fuzzies!! But sometimes I get stuck on wondering why one fic didn't get as much attention as another...

5. Is there a pairing or scenario or friendship you miss writing? If so, why? If not, why not?

I miss writing J/C soo much but I have little to no ideas. I love their tragedy and drama and I love giving them a happy ending afterwards <3

6. What motivates you to write?

An idea I think is really good, curiosity about what other people will think, funsies

7. Why do you write for the fandom(s) that you write for?

I've written for Star Trek Voyager and The X Files because I am in love with the otps I have for them

8. If you’re stuck writing a WIP, what do you do?

Cry Take a multi-day break or work on my drawing ideas for a while instead

9. What do you wish people knew about comments?

Leave comments on old fics, do it, the author will be so happy

10. Maybe there’s a question you wish had been on here. What’s that question (and answer)?

Nay, head empty

Tagging: anyone and everyone!

I made a new story

Elysium Weeping on AO3

[queerofdenial]

have fun (that is if you actually do this 🤨):

molly cobb

ava daniels

kathryn janeway

judith jones

bestie i hope you have a warm pillow tonight bc having to "least favorite" any of these blorbos hurts

questions are:

favorite thing about them

least favorite thing

brOTP

OTP

nOTP

random headcanon

unpopular opinion

song i associate with them

"here’s to selfish pricks, ‘cause we move the ball forward for mankind."

she's wholly uncompromising about who she is and what shes capable of, but still takes criticism and grows as a person! her confidence and ego are 100% earned and never feel like a Strong Woman Schtick

she had to keep walkin' straight into the destroying thing, didn't she. god damn hero.

i want an entire season of molly and patty mercury 13 backstory

molly x margo would have the best gay enemy sex and i would be so amused (but not as much as molly would) by stoned!margo

honestly don't think there are enough bad ships on famk, i adore wayne

she definitely spent months actively hitting on margo when she started ascan training just to annoy her. she and patty probably placed a bet on it.

she should've been stricter with the guys, and margo was right to fire her

hypnotized by fleetwood mac (second song on my molly x margo playlist)

"...you don't know where a woman gets fingered?"

i love that she's a wreck. i love that she overshares as a way to push people away because in reality she's lonely as hell and scared of true connection. i love that she uses generational stereotypes as jokes for the bit (and to rib at deb) when in reality she could really not give a damn. i love that she does drugs. i love that none of those things change the fact that she's talented and hardworking and fucking thriving. i love that she and i have the same relationship with growing up a gay loser with conservative parents in a new england suburb. i love that she's hot and spreads chocolate on her tiddies when she forgets shes wearing pants.

i hate that shes not real. jk, my least favorite thing is that she cannot for the life of her keep it in the drafts.

carl and hannah get along so well that every time ava and marcus interact i just knoooooow they want to genuinely admit to liking each other. i want more.

avadeb has in fact had my heart from day 1 and that will never change (its not gonna be canon you stupid sluts...ruby's cool too)

ava x not being woken up for breakfast

she's actually allergic to dogs and sucks it up for barry and cara only

unpopular opinion is that i am looking forward to seeing her absolutely thrive in season 3

kitchen light by xana

"There are three things to remember about being a starship captain: keep your shirt tucked in, go down with the ship… and never abandon a member of your crew."

everything about janeway is my favorite thing about janeway, but especially what i said to you the other day about her being a woman and a captain but never feeling like a caricature of either or the other. her leadership feels different than the other pre-disco captains, but it's never tokenism.

she's got a questionable taste in men. also generally too nice to aliens that usually want to kill her.

if they were stuck in the delta quadrant any longer, tom paris would've named his second kid after her (maybe he already did? who knows what went on on that planet)

j7! i'm always a sucker for a former drone x person who gave the drone their name (a shortened version of their designation). also this (x)

sorry mutuals but ch*kotay takes the cake on this one by a mile

she thinks about that puppy q almost gave her pretty often on voyager, and has programmed a dog into every holodeck program she runs. when they get back to earth she adopts one of the puppies her old dog had from her ex. she names it neelix.

she made the right call with tuvix

all the things you are frances faye

"i'll be your eyes." "what?" "i'll. be. your. eyes."

above anything else, she does the work and supports the people she thinks are worthy, she thinks have something important to say, regardless of prestige. she's cute as a button and loyal to a fault and is exactly the right amount of talented and full of grace and humility for what she does.

she maaaaaay need to start learning what professional boundaries are (mainly irt how much of peoples' personal issues she can carry on her lonesome)

i could watch an entire season of judith and paul attempting to bake bread using the scientific method

blanchejudith my beloved. my milfiest ship. my repression central. my women who desperately need a weekend in vermont.

if julia/judith was a thing ig i do not want to see

i have lots of headcanons ab the cabin in vermont and how she uses that space to better both her editing and her writers' work

i don't think there are enough people in this fandom for anything to be controversial? she is an absolute gem

slip away clarence carter

[quarks-pussy]

I have a fic idea (haven't started writing yet but it's been simmering) and I wanna know whether I'd be crucified for it.

So Q (during voy era) for whatever reason, possibly just boredom and a desire for change, changes his humanoid form into a woman. A bit after this she casually shows up on the Voyager for whatever reason, just proceeding as normal, and everyone but especially Janeway is like "??? wtf"

Q doesn't treat it as a big deal or anything but upon seeing that it is a big deal to Janeway, she does acknowledge it. They have whatever adventure of the week and Q fucks off again as usual.

But on subsequent visits, Janeway can't help but feel differently about Q. Sure, they were friends before, but seeing her like this does affect Kathy in a way she wasn't expecting. Slowly but surely she realises she's attracted to her and they have some Moments after that.

I don't really have the rest of the fic planned out in detail yet but they do kiss.

Also the title is "lgbt Q"
