Protocols Unknown: A Decision of The Stars by Thelifeofanother
Fandoms: Star Trek: Voyager
12 Aug 2025

Summary
Captain Janeway never meant to become a mother in the Delta Quadrant. But when Voyager rescues a Borg-influenced infant (from the episode Collective), her choice is instinct, not protocol. She names her Astrea, and from that moment, the crew’s course bends toward family, love, and impossible sacrifice.
Across thirty-eight chapters, A Decision of the Stars follows Kathryn Janeway, Seven of Nine, Naomi Wildman, and Voyager herself through rescue and loss, memory and forgetting, survival and rediscovery. Astrea is both child and catalyst, binding them together as they fight for her against enemies outside the ship and fractures within it.
This is a story of motherhood in uniform, of found family, and of the choices that reshape destiny. It ends where canon Endgame begins, and a triple timeline and three possible futures (Chapter 36, 37, and 38). Readers choose their ending!

Summary
This chapter picks up in the stillness after the storm, where truths edge closer to the surface and silence holds more weight than words. It’s about protection, defiance, and the kind of love that asks everything—and gives no easy answers in return.

HDM Moments! by Thelifeofanother

Summary
This collection delves into the complex, multifaceted emotions of Marisa Coulter, exploring depths we don’t fully see in the books or the show but are heavily implied throughout His Dark Materials. From moments of vulnerability to displays of fierce determination, these one-shots aim to fill in the gaps, offering an intimate look into Marisa’s psyche as she navigates her ambitions, relationships, and the powerful love she struggles to express. Each piece is crafted to reveal the woman behind the cold exterior—a character who is as captivating as she is complicated.
Let's be honest—Ruth Wilson did a stellar job at bringing Mrs. Coulter to life (at least, I think so)!

Summary
With a deep, firming inhale Seven stood up. Her head swayed a little, it felt light, too light now. The vision of the mess hall, of Neelix behind his counter, started to get blurred, the image not more crystal clear. She took a cautious step, feeling her legs grow heavy and her knees a little unstable.
Then it all went pitch black.Or the one with a pregnant Seven and a stubborn Captain. They fight about it. Of course.
