Back to the J/C Links List

This is an archive of the J/C fanfic I wrote between October 1997 and February 1999, which is a little less than a year before I gave up on watching Voyager altogether. While I was writing, though, back when there were still possibilities - those were good times. I got to know and work with some truly amazing people, and I will always be grateful for it.

If you read nothing else here, read Last Communion - it's the piece I'm proudest of, and in 1999, it won the ASC award for Best Torres Story. Fresh Air is probably my second favorite, and it's no accident that the backplot is the Torres/Chakotay friendship - it always fascinated me, maybe even more than J/C did. The sentimental favorite of most of my old readers, though, was always Fealty - so I'd read that, too. The piece I enjoyed writing the most was Sunrise, with Jen Ferris and Laura Williams. I loved the collaborative aspects of fanfic. I hope you enjoy your tour of my archives! And if you're from one of my old fic groups, why not say hi?

untitled series
What follows below is most of a trilogy. Consequences was originally intended to be a brief epilogue to "Nemesis". Little did I know. I'm seeking a title for the series. If you have a suggestion, email me.

Fealty

Part One Part Two Epilogue
