Year of Hell meets Joan of Arc. With a dash of Endgame.

May 5th contribution to the Star Trek x Cohen event, inspired by the song Joan of Arc. Because I love the Year of Hell episode. And Janeway. And the song too. @killitwithtears

My modest contribution -- a.k.a. “When all else fails, write a drabble” -- to @killitwithtears‘s Merry Month of Cohen. Warm thanks to @curator-on-ao3 for beta.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Star Trek: Voyager Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Characters: Kathryn Janeway, Chakotay (Star Trek), Matrix alien from "Coda" Additional Tags: Episode: s3e15 Night, Depression, suicide plan referenced, Implied/Referenced Suicide, Drabble, Angst, Inspired by Music, Tumblr Fic Event, Merry Month of Cohen Summary:

Depression lies, even to Captain Kathryn Janeway.

“You're in a dangerous profession, Captain. You face death every day. There'll be another time, and I'll be waiting. Eventually you'll come into my Matrix and you will nourish me for a long, long time.” Alien posing as Edward Janeway, “Coda," written by Jeri Taylor.

The Shadow of Your Wound

From the day Voyager enters the Void, nothingness creeps in and slowly buries you.

Chakotay comes to cajole. The pedestal he once carved rots to crumbs beneath you.

The demon with your father’s face calls your name daily. He's slept at your center since the first crash, the Terra Nova. You can see that now.

You once clung to grief, hoping it would sink you—a young, romantic delusion.

Here, your pain is no credential. You have conquered nothing, learned nothing, loved nothing.

One more mission, from Void into matrix, and your breath, your flesh, will nourish him at last.

What exactly is Cohen fic? I’ve seen it mentioned before as a sort of fandom event but I can’t seem to figure out what it is?

Cohen fic my beloved! The Merry Month of Cohen is a Leonard Cohen inspired Star Trek fandom event, with an angst theme. It was started in 2019 by @mia-cooper and the torch has been passed to different folks to run it each year. To me it's one of the highlights of the Star Trek fandom calendar! I've taken part in 5 of the 6 years (and forever gutted I missed the inaugural fest!)

2020 - You Want It Darker - PIC S1 Raffi comforts Seven through some Borg PTSD 2021 - Crow's Feet - A look at Hugh's reclamation surgeries and adjusting to his new life. (And, for my money, the best thing I think I've ever written.) 2022 - Out of the Game - Post PIC S2 Raffi&Rios angst from Raffi's POV 2023 - Anytime - Post PIC S2 Raffi&Rios angst from Rios' POV (so clearly not over S2 even a year later 😅 still not tbh, I miss Team La Sirena) 2024 - Night Sky With Exit Wounds - PIC S2 missing scene, Seven struggling to understand the world without her Borg physiology, and Raffi is there for her. And while I've tried my hand at angst for the Picard fandom, the Voyager fans never fail to write the angstier stuff, I'm in awe. I guess it's dark in the Delta quadrant. From this years fest ( @what-happens-to-the-heart ) I'm obsessed with @grissomesque 's fic: In a Wounded Dawn - it's Janeway/Paris and the Academy era setting at the beginning of chapter 2, grabbed me by the heart and hasn't let go. tldr: star trek x leonard cohen x angst fic = fest perfection

#probably an unnecessary amount of detail for this ask- but HOOBOY do I love this fest #fic rec #FEST rec #what-happens-to-the-heart #merry month of cohen #fandom culture #my beloved

Closing Time

In the seedy bar of a decrepit space station on the outskirts of the galaxy... You and Captain Pike wait for a Starfleet informant. The evening does not go as planned, and it will surely be a night you’ll never forget. (Pike X Reader, romance/adventure)

Inspired by Closing Time by Leonard Cohen, for the #merrymonthofcohen fandom event! @killitwithtears

Closing Time Park II (SMUT) Here

Well, this is an… interesting crowd. The patrons of the seedy space station bar mill about their business around you and Captain Pike. This station, on the outskirts of the galaxy, attracts a certain clientele. Mercenaries, fugitives, anyone without scruples looking for an escape, physical or mental. This is the place.

You glance over at Captain Pike, sitting beside you at the long bar, made of what looks like recycled ship parts. The whole station is a floating scrapyard, really. You’ve never seen anything like this place, or its customers, and you’re glad Captain Pike is by your side.

The two of you are on an away mission, meeting a contact for information vital to your mission. They would only agree to meeting with the Captain, no extras, but he had managed to talk them into letting you come along, stating Starfleet regulations would not allow him to go unaccompanied. You have a calm, easygoing demeanor that won’t seem threatening to the contact, yet the Captain knows you have years of training and experience, and can hold your own if needed. He’s seen you in action before, and is impressed by you in more ways than one.

Truth be told, you’re nervous in this setting. You see the Captain giving those around you his signature side-eye. You’re both on high alert. You’ve been waiting for several hours now, and your contact is nowhere to be found. Are they standing you up? Did something happen to them? If anyone caught wind that they’re a Starfleet informant, they could pay the price…

Laughter on the other side of the bar catches your attention and you look in its direction. A few Ferengi with a few too many drinks in them. You roll your eyes but say nothing. You’re here on official business. No time for chit-chat.

You’re not used to being alone with the Captain. Having him all to yourself… Hmmm… Now there is a thought…

“What do you think, [Y/N]?” Captain Pike asks you. Your name on his lips makes you turn your head and stare into his intense blue-grey orbs. Did he just call you by your first name? Oh no, you’re taking too long to respond…

“Something wrong?” he asks you, and you swear a smirk is just visible on his lips… Mmm, those lips…

“Think of… What, sir?” you ask, seriously distracted at this point by the noise. And what is that smell? A pot of mystery-meat stew boils away on a convection-burner behind the bar, releasing a stench some species would find delectable. Not humanoids, however.

“Our informant. They’re a little late...,” the Captain states, a hint of agitation detectable in his deep voice. He adjusts restlessly on the uncomfortable barstool beneath him.

“More than a little late, sir. Something could have happened. They’ve assisted Starfleet multiple times in the past. I don’t see why this time would be any different,” you reply, careful to keep your voice down, though it’s hard over the music that just started playing, a symphony of alien instruments, an upbeat but odd composition.

The Captain nods in reply and you both turn to the small stage in the corner of the bar, now populated by several Orion women, and others of species you don’t recognize. They begin to dance to the music, a provocative dance meant to entice those that might wish to exchange universal currency for the pleasure of their company.

One Orion woman leaves the stage, dancing provocatively around the tables, coming near you and the Captain. She’s scantily clad, and her movements are almost mesmerizing. You’ve heard of the seductive powers of Orion women, though never seen them up close. Several of the bar patrons are already claiming their dancers, and you study Captain Pike’s face as the woman dances next to him, her scent intoxicating as she gets closer to the two of you. Pheromones, probably. Definitely not legal, but there’s no law out here on the edge of the cosmos.

The Captain looks calm and composed as ever, and he nods politely at the woman, and suddenly places his hand over yours, squeezing it gently and showing the dancer that he’s not interested. The woman looks mildly disappointed but moves on to her next potential client.

A spark shoots through you at the Captain’s touch and you feel your heartrate increase. Once the woman has left, he releases your hand. “Sorry, it’s just easier than… Well, you know,” he says apologetically, hoping he didn’t overstep with you. When on an away mission, you have to be able to improvise when needed.

“It’s okay,” you reply with a small smile. Your hand tingles slightly where he touched you. You’ve been trying so hard lately to push down the feelings you’ve been developing for your Captain, but tonight, you feel the walls of your psyche breaking down. But surely it’s in vain… There’s no chance… It could never be reciprocated. Could it?

“Have you seen them before?” the Captain asks, nodding his prominent chin in the stage’s direction.

“Um, no. No, this is my first time,” you answer, wishing you would have said that differently. Captain Pike’s eyes study you for a moment, and he raises his eyebrow. “Don’t let their appearance fool you. They’re cunning, and dangerous. I know a few Starfleet officers who have fallen victim to their wiles.”

“Oh? Like who?” you ask, smiling teasingly at the Captain, knowing full well he’ll never name names. You prop your elbow on the bar in front of you, resting your head on your hand as you peer mischievously over at him.

His eyes scan you again, liking this slightly playful side of you more than he wants to admit. “Well, they wouldn’t like me telling,” he replies with a wink that almost knocks you off your stool. You smile back at him and take a drink of the water the barkeep has placed in front of you. It tastes like their filtration system needs some serious maintenance; thank goodness the cup is too dark to see what color the liquid inside is.

Captain Pike watches you take a drink and smirks at your reaction. He chose you for this away mission for your skills, definitely, but it was more than that. Lately, he just can’t seem to get you off of his mind. The sound of your voice, your beautiful smile, and the way you put him at ease. A few times recently, he’s felt so weighed down by the mission, his past, the responsibility of command. You’ve been there for him, asking him what’s on his mind and listening without judgement when he opens up to you, as much as he’s comfortable with in the moment. He feels like he can talk to you, and vice versa. Recently it’s been dawning on him… He’s falling for you. But, it’s not professional, not appropriate. He’s your superior, after all. Though right now, in this disreputable place of commerce, he’s beginning to lose touch with his reservations about the two of you…

It’s getting late, and your contact is apparently a no-show. You’re about to head back to the shuttle, so you can rendezvous with the ship which is currently out of range investigating another matter pertinent to the mission. However, an announcement is made over the station comm, in universal tongue, that there’s been a malfunction in the environmental controls and the way to the docking area is inaccessible. Life support and artificial gravity are down in those areas while they make repairs, and the repair estimate is at least twelve hours.

“Well, it looks like we’re going to be stuck here for a while,” you comment to the Captain. A yawn overcomes you and you shuffle yourself on the barstool, your behind aching from the hard surface. It’s been a long day. This environment is a lot to take in. The clientele, the noise, having your guard up, it’s all a bit over-stimulating.

Captain Pike sees you’re tired, and the two of you decide to get a room on the station for the night. Luckily, the living quarters have been unaffected by the malfunctions. The captain pays the barkeep in universal currency and you’re directed to your room for the night. As you leave the bar area, the clientele is getting rowdier as the hour gets later. You make your way through the crowd, but find your way suddenly blocked by two angry-looking Reptilians. Well, you think they’re angry, their species always looks like that if you’re being honest.

“What is Starfleet doing out here?” one of them hisses, their tone oozing with malice. How did they know you were Starfleet; you’re not wearing any identifiers?

“You’re mistaken…” Captain Pike starts, but he’s cut off by the other being, “Captain Pike of the Enterprise... You’re a long way from home, Starfleet.”

The captain retains his composure, but you see his posture change, readying himself in case a fight breaks out. “I don’t want any trouble,” he states commandingly, but it’s too late, every inebriated Federation-hater in the joint has now heard that the two of you are Starfleet, and they encroach on your position threateningly. Your hand instinctively brushes your hip, searching for your phaser, but you remember that they confiscated it upon entry. No weapons allowed in the bar, but they apparently didn’t count the razor-sharp spines protruding off of the alien closest to you.

The being swings at you, the venomous spines on its wrist coming perilously close to your exposed neck, and your instincts kick in. You evade the blow, but before you can react further, the alien is dispatched by Pike, who has grabbed a nearby bar-stool, bringing it down on the alien’s head. The being goes down, hitting the metal floor, its body now limp and listless, the silvery blood of a chromium-based life form oozing from its fresh head wound.

The others advance on the two of you, and your eyes scan the area for something you, too, could use as a blunt weapon, but there is nothing within reach. You raise your fists, ready to engage the enemy…

Several bouncers have heard the commotion and come ambling into the fight. These aliens are huge, brawny, and apparently made of ninety percent muscle tissue. No one wants to mess with them, and the crowd disperses, going back to their vices. Some gambling tables have opened up, and there’s a rumor that an underground slave trade goes on after midnight, but it’s a dangerous game, all of it. One puts their life on the line when walking through the docking hatch to this station, as you and the captain have just experienced.

You’ve had about enough of this place, and feel a sense of relief as you and Pike continue your way to the living area. You hear the ruckus behind you, fading in intensity as you walk, but the energy of the place is still very much present in you as you feel adrenaline pulsing through your veins. The farther away from the noise you walk, the better you feel, and the more aware you are of Captain Pike’s presence.

You walk slightly ahead of him, and absentmindedly rub your lower back with your hands, sore from the hours of sitting and waiting. Captain Pike notices your actions and something inside of him stirs. There’s something about this place, with everyone around you indulging their hedonistic, baser urges. A veritable feast for the senses, an escape from the roles and responsibilities of life in the rest of the galaxy.

Who were those Reptilians, and how did they know that you were Starfleet? Did they have something to do with your informant not showing up? Are the two of you in danger remaining on this station? Possibly, and all good questions. However, they will have to wait. Whatever it is about this place, it’s cast its spell upon both of you, and as you enter your quarters for the night, the tension between you is palpable, undeniable, and demanding to be addressed.

* * * * * * * * * *

Notes: Part II (smut) to follow, but wanted to post this more general/appropriate piece as my contribution to the event. Hope you enjoyed and thx for reading! :)

It started because I had to scream somewhere when no one was around who could scream with and I’m still doing it

favorite musician: if i knew... changes all the time but here are some musicians i circle back to every now and then: Leonard Cohen, Johnny Cash, Joan Baez, Cher, Scorpions, Nickleback, LP (and more)

I was tagged by @katherinecooke, with whom I do have a lot in common, and some things not so much! :)

Dogs or cats? Dogs. I’m allergic to cats, but also I have to admit that I just like dogs better (although I would have nothing against cats if they didn’t make me so itchy and sneezy).

YouTube celebrities or normal celebrities? I don’t really follow either (I generally get my celebrity news by osmosis through people I follow on social media) but I am not sure I could actually name a YouTube celebrity, so I guess normal?

If you could choose to live anywhere, where would it be? Ideally, I’d like to live in a whole bunch of wildly different places around the world, for like, a year or two at a time. But, I do also really like where I live now (aside from the massive earthquake that’s supposed to arrive at some point, which I would prefer, in my ideal world, not to have looming).

Disney or Dreamworks? If I have to choose, Disney.

Favourite childhood TV show? I actually didn’t watch a lot of TV as a kid. There’s a big gap between Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood and my teenage obsession with Star Trek: The Next Generation. Although, now that I think of it, my sister and I were pretty into Square One TV, particularly their “Mathnet” segment. We may possibly have written Mathnet proto-fanfic?

The movie you’re looking forward to in 2020? Wonder Woman 1984, and Black Widow. (And maybe the live action Mulan? I’m not sure about that one, but I do really like the animated version.)

Favourite book you read in 2019? I - don’t know? I think I have quarantine brain. I wish the library would keep a record of books I’ve checked out so I could jog my memory of what I read last year!

Marvel or DC? Marvel, although there are definitely DC things I like too.

If you chose Marvel, favourite member of the X-Men? I think I saw one of the X-Men movies, a long time ago? Okay, either Professor Xavier because I love Patrick Stewart, or Wolverine because he’s Canadian. 😛

Night or day? I like both, but I’m definitely a night person.

Favorite Pokémon? Pikachu? (who is also the only one whose name I know...)

Top 5 bands/artists? Gah, I’m so bad at picking favourites. Off the top of my head, five bands/artists I feel like listening to right now: Leonard Cohen, The Be Good Tanyas, The Barenaked Ladies, Liz Phair, Sarah McLachlan.

Top 10 books? I'm taking the pressure off myself and, rather than trying to figure out my top 10, I’m just listing the first 10 books I really like that come to mind (and cheating with series :)

The Blue Castle by L.M. Montgomery

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones

The Martian by Andy Weir

The Oxford Time Travel series by Connie Willis

The Lord Peter Wimsey books by Dorothy Sayers

Caravan by Dorothy Gilman (and her Mrs. Pollifax series)

A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth

The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver

The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling

Top 4 movies? Four I could watch over and over again are A League of Their Own, Galaxy Quest, Captain America: The First Avenger, and Love, Actually

US or Europe? I don’t live in either!

Tumblr or Twitter? Tumblr

Favourite vacation destination? I want to go everywhere! But I do really love the week every summer my kids and I usually spend unplugged at Mom and Kids camp.

Favourite YouTuber? Whoever it was that put up all those episodes of The Crocodile Hunter my kids have been devouring this month? ;) (yeah, I know that’s not the intent of the question)

Favourite author? I love so many for different reasons. I don’t know how on earth I would pick just one.

Tea or coffee? Tea. I like the smell of coffee, but I’ve never learned to like the taste (although, I can usually manage to choke it down if it’s an Irish Coffee. ;)

OTP? Currently, Peggy Carter / Steve Rogers. But I have a List. :)

Do you play an instrument or sing? I can sort of play the piano - I took organ lessons as a kid, and have improved my piano skills since my own kids started taking lessons and I started piggybacking along. :) I played the clarinet for 7 years in school, and occasionally I dig it out (I can still play it, but I have next to no embouchure endurance). I also play the guitar, although I mostly just finger-pick chords to sing along to (but I can play a few other things like Blackbird by the Beatles). And finally, I sing alto in an early music chamber choir (although, not right now!)
