*~*~The Great J/C Thread~*~*

Hello, thanks for your story, TariAdama- I will look for you on Fanction. I have been inspired by all the wonderful fanfic there to actually write my own stories, but do not have the moxie yet to post anything. I think I will read some more, tho, to get ideas on the best structure, etc. & editing ideas (I have now 10 notebook pages of ramblings for 1 story & only maybe 1/2 done, ha). Thanks, GS.



If you would like to find me on Fanfiction.net I go by the name Aerilon452... Hope you like all my stuff.
 
Kathryn had heard the alarm but she didn't have the heart to crawl out of bed. Her replicator was broken again and that meant no coffee. Coffee was something the Captain of Voyager couldn't live without. She needed it to get through the day because there was no telling what the Delta Quadrant would throw at them. Kathryn rolled over and tried to fall back to sleep. She needed it and was entitled to a day off. So there she stayed in bed and ignored the second alarm the computer issued. It wasn't until an hour later when the chime sounded telling her that someone was at her door. Groaning Kathryn rolled out of bed and grabbed her robe as she walked out to the door.

Chakotay had arrived on the Bridge to see that Kathryn wasn't there. He had checked her Ready Room, but she wasn't there. Checking the computer he found that she was still in her quarters. So that was where he was headed. Of course he was surprised to see her still in her night clothes with sleep still clouding her eyes.

Kathryn looked up into Chakotay's eyes and then turned around to head back to her sleeping area. He wasn't going to stand in the coridor Stepping into the living area he looked around. Nothing seemed out of place. The thing to do was lure her out with coffee. Going over to the replicator he tried to order a cup of black coffee but nothing happened. 'She must have called it a glorified toaster again.' He thought with a smile. Settling down in front of it Chakotay set about fixing her replicator. As soon as he was done Chakotay ordered a fresh cup of coffee and stood in the entrance watching Kathryn. She lay there on her back staring up at the ceiling. Chakotay walked a few steps into the room and over to her bed. He held the cup away so the smell would reach her and hoefully coax her from under the covers.

Kathryn looked over at Chakotay and eyed the cup. He always knew how to get to her. She reached for it but Chakotay backed up a step smiling at her. Kathryn signed and rolled onto her left side putting her back to him where she pulled the covers up over her shoulders. She heard him walk around the bed and when he crouched down to look at her Kathryn only glared at him. Smiling again Chakotay offered her the cup and when she reached for it he didn't take it away this time. Kathryn sat up and inhaled the rich aroma of coffee. It didn't smell as good as real coffee, but it was better than nothing.

"I thought my replicator was broken?" Kathryn said before she took a sip of the hot coffee. She relished the taste as the liquid danced over her taste buds.

"It was, but I fixed it." He said and took a seat on the floor resting his arm on the matress.

"You are a wonder." Kathryn signed in a contented voice. She had coffee now and all was right with the world.

"I aim to please." He replied with a chuckle.

"And please you do, even when I'm mad at you.' Kathryn thought to herself. No matter how they would fight she was still pleased with anything he did. It was the power that Chakotay had and used on her often. Of course he disguised it as only trying to help lighten her burden, but she could tell that it made him feel useful to her if he could take care of her, whether it was cooking her dinner or simply getting her coffee in the morning, or afternoon, or night.

Kathryn took a gulp of coffee and closed her eyes just savoring the taste. She looked forward to this when she woke up, coffee was the life line on which she surived the beast that was the Delta Quadrant. Opening her eyes she saw Chakotay staring intently at her. He had a certain look on his face that Kathryn had seen many times but she would always dismiss it as he was thinking, ut this look told of other things. They had never discussed what was between him. But having him there sitting like that made those feeling spike through her.

"Thank you Commander." Kathryn whispered.

"I reported for duty and my Captain was no where to be found." Chakotay replied and Kathry caught the way he had said 'MY' didn't escape her. When he wanted Chakotay could have a possesive streak, and she had seen it. Especially when Q had shown up wanting to mate with her. Chakotay had gone all alpha male and it warmed Kathryn's heart.

"Did you come here to coax me to the bridge, or did you come down here to play?" Kathryn teased. She wasn't in uniform yet so she could freely tease him. He offered her up a dimpled smile that made Kathryn's heart race.

"If I say I came to play what would you do?" Chakotay replied and Kathryn could tell he was serious. Six months ago she had lost her safety net, Mark had remarried. That meant she was free to acknowledge what wsa between her and Chakotay. But also she had a duty to her ship and she was teh Captain. If she got involved with him then it would mean disaster at some point. No one could seperate their private and personal life. It just ddn't happen.

"Well, for starters, I would tell you to leave and head back to the bridge." She smiled and tried not to stare into his smoldering eyes. He would stare at her when he thought she wasn't looking, but she knew. Kathryn could feel it when he stared at her.

"Take away all my fun." Chakotay pouted playfully.

"I'm the Captain." Kathryn shot back and took another drink of coffee.

"Not right now you aren't. No uniform no orders." Chakotay pointed out rising to his feet so he could lean over her. His unique scent filled her head and made it hard for Kathryn to think. She instinctively leaned back into her pillows in an attempt to put some distance between them, but still his scent followed her. It was all around and it would torment Kathryn all day.

He smiled that wry smile and backed away from her. Kathryn watched as he retreated from her bedroom to the living area and out the door. She sat there stunned for a few more minutes before she got out of the bed to get ready to head to the bridge.


BRIDGE:


Kathryn arrived on the bridge to have all eyes on her. Tom even turned around to grin at her. He used his charming school boy smile that screamed 'I'm up to no good' but Kathryn saw right through it. Not bothering to say anything she took her seat in the Captains chair and listened while Chakotay gave her the report from Gamma shift.

"So Captain, having a little trouble getting out of bed this morning?" Tom idly asked from his seat at the helm.

"Tom..."

"I just heard your repicator was broken, that's all." He turned around and smiled again.

"Just pilot Tom." Kathryn said not bothering to looking up from the PADD she studied. She sat there for a few more mintues before she rose to her feet and retreated to her Ready Room. Chakotay's scent was making her feel drugged. Kathryn by passed her desk and went immediately to her couch to sit down and watch the stars. Whenever her mind ran in a million different directions, all she had to do was come in here and stare at the stars. She would instantly feel better and her mind would quiet. He had a certain way of making Kathryn lose her balance and it wasn't that she was scared of the feelings he inspired in her, but that those feelings might be a dream.

"Uh oh, I know that face." Chakotay mused from beside her desk. He leaned there with his hip resting against the edge and his arms crossed over his chest. Kathryn turned to him and gave him a drole stare. She had no time for his games and yet she wanted him to continue to goad her into a response.

"What face? This is just my face." Kathryn replied and turned back to the view port. She could see his reflection coming closer and closer to the upper level.

"That face says we are about to have a serious talk." Chakotay whispered very close to her ear and it made Kathryn shiver.

"What if I surprised you by doing this?" Kathryn asked and rather than give him time to respond she turned to him and molded her mouth to his giving him the fiercest kiss she knew how to give. for an instant Chakotay didn't respond. He never would have thought Kathryn would do this. Shock radiated through him bu was soon crushed. Chakotay leaned into her and savored the taste of his Captain. If this was all he was allowed to have then he would savor it for as long as it pleased her.

"That was a surprise." Chakotay gasped out. He leaned his forehead to hers and listened to her breath deeply in an attempt to calm her raging heart. Kathryn smiled. she had wanted to do that for four years. His lips were so soft and yielding under hers. She taste remnants of the tea he must have had earlier. If only she could stay like this with him, but she was the Captain and had to remain as such. Kathryn pulled back and gave him a sad look. Chakotay caught the meaning and knew he wouldn't get another chance like this, but it didn't matter. She was his no matter what. Kathryn was his Captain, his friend, and his woman. 'Keep me by your side forever.' Chakotay thought and willed her to here it. He offered her a sad smile and pulled back. One last glance he walked out of her ready room to take his place in the First Officers chair.
 
I must confess - I voted yes on this poll. :p

:lol:

Tachyon this is great, thanks, GS. PS. I Enjoy your website, my favorite is Truly Yours.

Aww. Thanks. :D

Can't remember what pic was "Truly Yours", tho. And it is my pic. Now how crazy is that? :lol: *goes to check it out*

Actually, that sounds like something I would do. I have a picture called "Truly Yours"? Imagine that! ;)

Sometimers is not fun. (I'm too young for all-heimers).
 
Glad you asked! :D

It's the late Merritt Butrick, who played David Marcus, James T. Kirk's son in TWOK and TSFS and T'Jon in TNG first season's "Symbiosis." Merritt also played Johnny Slash on the early 80s sitcom "Square Pegs" which is where my rotating avatars come from. It's a hilarious show, and I had a huge crush on David Marcus when I was a kid.
 
I see. :D

Well, I think we have established now that Tachyon sucks at TOS trivia. :p Oh well.... I borrowed a ST II DVD from my friend, though, and I am gonna watch it in couple of days, so perhaps I see that kid as a Kirk Jr. soon.
 
I am also glad this place has become a bit more civilized as a whole..especially about the J/C relationship. I myself, adore it and hated it that they didn't get together..but looking back, I just go read some fanfiction and imagine a different ending. I mean, I don't begrudge Seven of Nine(even though she did get that hunk of a Commander! :mad: ) for anything and would never want to see her dead. And I don't like the Seven death fanfictions either...too dramatic for me. :lol:
 
I personally just don't see the point of killing Seven. Like for real. C'mon. I tried to read couple of these "let's kill Seven" stories and they aren't just working for me (like explaining that relationship with Chakotay's mid-life crisis doesn't work for me either). There are much better ways to end C/7.
 
^ I personally see the spate of "Kill Seven" stories after "Endgame" as fans just venting their anger. The ones I don't quite get are when C/7 marry, Seven dies then Chakotay comes back on hands and knees to Janeway. I would personally hope in such a scenario Janeway would be happily settled with some handsome hunk of a man and tell him he missed his shot.

That's just me though. ;)
 
Yeah - I agree kimc. Janeway wouldnt' settle for the slobby seconds.

And about Janeway and dating in general. Janeway is a gorgeous woman. Therefore, I am not a huge fan of fic where she is crying after Chakotay, because Seven "stole" her man. Sorry, but that is not my Janeway. The way I see her is that there would be fine gentlemen waiting to get a date with her and she would be open to the idea of getting a personal life again after seven years of nothing but a duty, Chakotay or no Chakotay.
 
Hmmmm .... it's ok for her to cry for a little while!! Even gorgeous people get jilted and I would imagine it still hurts them! But no, not for years like some of the fics suggest, she's too strong for that she'd move on.
