Barclay and Paris

[grissomesque]

We're shown two sides of Owen Paris, right? We see him being a huge dick to young Tom (Thirty Days, et al), and we're told that Tom spent a not-inconsiderable amount of time crying in his room (Threshold). But we're also shown modern-day Owen Paris, who misses his son so much he is apparently supervising the Pathfinder project, or at least participating in some meaningful capacity (Pathfinder).

We also know that Janeway went around Owen to spring Tom from the penal colony (Relativity). We could headcanon-ly infer that this is because, for any number of reasons, Owen couldn't, or wouldn't, have done it for Janeway. (Though this isn't the only option, of course. She could've wanted to do something for her mentor, etc.)

So. Seems like Tom isn't on speaking terms with his dad. We don't know why Janeway didn't loop Owen into the plan but she seems to not have. Now imagine that the first time Owen Paris finds out Tom is out of prison is when he's told that Voyager is missing in action.

Like, first of all, as a parent, oh my god.

And it would probably radically, immediately snap Owen out of his frustration with Tom, since he will now have to assume his son is dead. Which would explain why we're told absolutely nothing positive about Owen Paris and then suddenly, in Pathfinder, Owen uses his like one second of screen time to say he's proud of Tom, and misses him.

And why Tom looks shell-shocked to hear it.

(And then also: Hunters. Tom gets a letter, knows he gets a letter, doesn't get to read the letter. And he's just so, so ready to have a relationship with "Admiral Paris," despite everything that came before, but he can't begin to know what's going on back home in his dad's head. Doesn't occur to him to assume anything good until prompted:

TORRES: You could assume that he said he loves you, and that he's proud of you. PARIS: I think I will.)

Anyway, something something the Owen & Tom relationship is so gutting, can you even imagine.

Old men whose descriptions of their sons don't prepare you at all for what they're actually like (OR: "You're going to Starfleet academy and I don't want to hear another word about it!")

Something I desperately love about Voyager is Owen Paris. When we first hear about him, it's through Tom's perspective. He was a strict parent who pushed hard, perhaps too hard, and so ended up pushing his son away. But when we properly meet him in “Pathfinder”, he’s not what we heard about before. He’s willing to let Barclay say his idea, he has a photo of Tom on his desk, he’s overcome with emotion when they communicate with Voyager, and he makes sure that when he does speak, Tom knows exactly how he feels. Owen’s filled with regret over what happened in the past, so he tries his best to make sure that he does better. And he does.

Happy Seven of Nine Day! 🥳 My treat to you is the FINAL story of The Journey! 😱 We've made it 🥲 It feels bittersweet somehow and I will miss it. Thank you all so much for your support and I hope you'll enjoy this last story. 🖖 I'll be back soon with more J7 adventures!

Summary: The news of Voyager's Homecoming spreads through the ship.

Takes place immediately after the last scene of the episodes "Endgame" (S07E2526).

Owen Paris fic

A few months ago, a commenter suggested that I write a fic where Owen Paris finds out Tom is alive. I found the idea rather intimidating since I've read some fics, such as @curator-on-ao3's Finding Home: A Gretchen Janeway and Owen Paris Love Story, that portray that moment beautifully.

However, I ultimately found the idea intriguing and wrote something that takes place in the first year of Voyager's disappearance and when the EMH arrives at Starfleet HQ.

I ❤️ WORDS

“This is Admiral Paris.”

“Hello, Sir.”

“How are your people holding up?”

“Very well. They’re an exemplary crew, your son included.”

“Tell him…Tell him I miss him. And I’m proud of him.”

“He heard you, Admiral.”

I really do love words. I love how we can play with them, how they can evoke emotion in the way we pair them, and how they can surprise me with their meanings. And every once in a while the universe (all of them?) is kind and presents me with a … gift.

I have a persistent fic idea that will likely never be written but every once in a while pushes its way back into my brain and stays a while. And I can’t help but bask in the glow of what-if…? Sometimes I even find myself doing a little—a wee bit ‘o—research. And as the idea orbits my brain synchronicity magically appears from the depths of the aforementioned brain (unlike words in a fic I’m writing) and I find a few lines of delight on my computer screen. This happened today when I got it in my head to look up the meaning of Owen Paris’ name.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Owen is usually an anglicised variant of the Welsh personal name Owain. Originally a patronymic, Owen became a fixed surname in Wales beginning with the reign of Henry VIII.[1] Etymologists consider it to originate from Eugene meaning 'noble-born'.[2] According to T. J. Morgan and Prys Morgan in Welsh Surnames: "the name is a derivation of the Latin Eugenis > OW Ou[u]ein, Eug[u]ein ... <snip>

Now most (some?) of us know that the show runners named Thomas Eugene Paris after Gene Roddenberry, the legendary creator of Star Trek. But how absolutely wonderful is it that Eugene = Owen, Tom’s dad’s name!?

😃

The creators of Voyager inadvertently (unless they looked it up 🤷‍♀️) gave Tom his father’s name for his middle name.

Seriously, I love words! ❤️

This is an old prompt but I had this tiny idea yesterday that I think fits this.

November Prompts

- A childhood memory/event for a character that in some way reflects the type of adult they have become – whether positive, negative, profound, or just warm and fuzzy.

- Prompt Word - Storm

- 14-word ficlets . Check those great stories if you don’t think you can do it.

Gretchen and Owen discover that their children are alive.

A prequel to Homecoming.

This episode, even though I love it, always felt a little incomplete to me. The crew of Voyager deserves an explanation as to what happened with the datastreams! 😉

Summary: Starfleet sends a message from Admiral Paris in the next datastream, to explain to the crew of Voyager what happened with Barclay's hologram.

Takes place a couple of weeks after the episode "Inside Man" (S07E06).
