    Summary

    In Emmrich’s experience, people (and spirits) came in many varieties. But fundamentally, there were only two that mattered: those who could be trusted to borrow a book and return it in pristine condition…

    …and those like Rook.

    (A series of vignettes about finding love in the margins with the help of books, a pig, some flowers, a harpsichord, and a couple of rhyming teacups.)

    Summary

    “Hi Manfred,” Rook says. “Nice to meet you!”
    Rook looks like most people look. She is person-shaped and has a head with hair, but beneath that, she is brimming with curiosity. He feels drawn to her, in the same way he had been drawn to Emmrich once – when Manfred was shiny and small and not yet called Manfred. He has a good feeling about this. It’s new. It's exciting. He already agrees with her.
    Nice to meet you too! he hisses.

    ***

    Short and sweet scenes showing Manfred’s perspective on events of the Veilguard, and on the budding romance between Emmrich and Rook.

    Summary

    “We did it,” she breathes, and Chakotay is not to her left. A stunned silence descends over the Bridge. She cannot tear her eyes away from the viewscreen but she feels herself acutely, peculiarly alone, center-stage.
    -
    Janeway and Chakotay try to reconcile the choices he's made. An Endgame/Post-Endgame character study of sorts.

    Summary

    "She had always sworn to herself that what he wanted, what they both wanted, could not exist on Voyager, but it was getting harder to remember that."

    Over a few days of downtime, Janeway and Chakotay complete the long, slow slide into each other that began so many years ago. JC. Set in Season 4; follows my Scorpion tag, "Incunabula."
