The Measure of Logic by AdelineIserman
Fandoms: Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek
08 Dec 2025

Summary
A hardness overcame Seven then, the alloys in her spine chaining her fractured emotions back together in some grotesque distortion of what Janeway had always insisted they could be. Was this what it meant to be human?
-----
After Captain Janeway contracts an illness during an expedition to an uninhabited planet and orders USS Voyager to leave her behind, a certain hardheaded Astrometrics officer isn't so keen on abandoning her Captain. As Janeway and Seven learn to navigate the strange new dynamic forming between them, it becomes apparent that the planet they now call home has a much deeper story to tell--one that seems to defy logic, reality, and even the natural order of time itself.
-----
This is a standalone fic but can be read as additional worldbuilding to my "For the Optics" series. Timeline runs about a year prior to the events of "A Binding of Stars."

Summary
Control wouldn’t erase this memory. In fact, it seemed almost to savor it. Like it savored the thought of Discovery’s Captain–of the meticulous process of acquiring her, the inevitable approach of the knowledge she carried, and the enlightenment it would claim in the end.
-----
Three years after the attack on Section 31 Headquarters, Control has the Federation on the brink. When the USS Discovery begins receiving encrypted transmissions from someone claiming to be Starfleet who seems to know everything about their enemy, Captain Michael Burnham sees one last shot to turn the tide. But as Control's obsession with her deepens and the boundaries between ally and adversary begin to unravel, its objectives evolve into something far more dangerous--and lead Michael to question if she's still in control of her own game. -

Whither Winds the Thread by AdelineIserman
Fandoms: Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek
25 Oct 2024
Tags
Summary
Michael had sat in the chair of the Shenzhou enough times to know the weight a ship could unleash upon a first officer. The gravity of that same ship on its Captain must feel like a black hole, and even though Michael knew Airiam would learn how to shoulder it in time, she could see the doubt in her every move, hear it in every faint trill and thrum. And Discovery was in no way gentle. She’d torn into every captain that had ever ventured to break her, tested and tried them, judged them then cast them aside. Inadequate. Incompetent. Imperfect.
-----
With the Federation scrutinizing her fiancée's every move, Michael Burnham fights to salvage Airiam's inaugural mission as Captain of the USS Discovery after a temporal crisis in the Delta Quadrant separates them from the Glenn and leaves them in search of the lost starship Voyager, an admiral, and a crew that won't exist for another 117 years.
Sequel to "The Resonance of Risk."

Tags
Summary
“The Commander is born-and-raised Starfleet," Cornwell said sadly. "And she’s already demonstrated she knew the risks she’d pose if we kept her alive. The Federation’s best chance at saving face through this mess is for Airiam to agree with them.”
Beside her, Saru stiffened, and Michael saw his skin visibly pale.
“Michael,” the Captain respired, shaking his head, distressed. “We’re going to have to contend with Airiam’s sense of honor. That will be no easy task.”
-----
In the wake of their return from the Alpha Reality, Michael's and the Discovery crew's loyalty to Airiam is put to the test when a Federation inquisition questions her place among them, pitting her right to exist--as well as the others impacted by Control--against the security of the cosmos.
Some parts may be NSFW.
Sequel to "Breaking Free."

Summary
Sometimes it seemed strange to Burnham, feeling that Airiam was beautiful. She suspected not everyone did, that they might see Michael as defective or faulty for feeling that way about someone–some thing–like that. She knew from the outside it was easy to forget Airiam had once been human, had once looked just like every other human aboard Discovery, but they only ever saw the augmentations the Commander couldn't hide beneath the trim navy and silver Starfleet uniform. They couldn't see the rest, the places where metal and machine fused into the organic remnants of a woman who had lost far more than just her life.
-----
When the Glenn's new transverse drive tech traps Discovery in the Alpha Reality, Michael and Airiam must work with Control to take on Cornwell and a stranger, more sinister Federation trying to drive the pair--and their crew--apart.
Sequel to "A Binding of Stars." Some parts may be NSFW.

Summary
“You guys…you want to go back to Section 31 headquarters…scrounge around in the hopes of finding a functional, uncorrupted data console, hack it–no doubt that'll be my job, I'm sure–pull out the source code and try to…what…reanimate this thing? And then let it back into Airiam's head?” She was glancing at each of them as if she thought it was a joke. “On purpose?”
-----
When Michael and Captain Saru's shuttle goes missing, First Officer Airiam must confront all she has fought to keep at bay and earn back the trust of the crew as she takes command of Discovery to bring them home.
Or: Airiam has to work with Control.
Sequel to "Three Pounds of Latinum." Some parts may be NSFW.

Summary
“Airiam should have died on that station, Michael,” Spock said, his voice calm, factual. “Just as she should have died in the accident that made her what she is. Her very construction is experimental and, in itself, a risk. You should not expect to save her a third time.”
-----
As Michael and Airiam explore their new connection, Stamets and the crew detect a problem with the methods they used to save Discovery's Second Officer.
Sequel to "I Realized She Could Smile."

Summary
The gesture was amicable on the surface, but a part of her felt there was something else at work there, and she couldn't help but consider Gold's words. Could Emma Swan really bear a portion of Daniel's soul? Dear, sweet Daniel...in the form of the Savior?
-----
Swanqueen femslash. Kinda angsty...VERY slow burn with a plot! Set in S2. Rated M for eventual...stuff.Older story of mine pulled over from FF.
