Recs and Reviews

Jan says: Maybe this is cheating, but so what? I'm recommending a C/P story torch wrote for my birthday, Once More, with Feeling. It's a great little story set right after the episode "Investigations" (and people who remember In This Corner know how much I like the time after that episode). Torch always used to say she couldn't write Chakotay, he was just too boring. But you know, if you give the man enough problems, he can be very, very interesting.[1]

This is my all-time favorite Paris/Chakotay for so many reasons. The fact that both men behave like GUYS, the fact that Chakotay is in the wrong, the entirely believable backstory for the two shacking up, for a few; but mostly because Tom is so well-written and insists on being treated like a PERSON, as opposed to a convenience.[2]

I've got two new C/P recs this week: The first is by Ruth Devero and is called First Contact

The second is by Torch and is Once More, With Feeling

I can't recommend these two stories enough. Both are not only well written, but have great characterizations and dialogue. First contact is more plot driven than Once More, With Feeling; I'm recommending them for different reasons. First Contact is longish - about 200K and Once More, With Feeling is about 60K. Don't forget to let the authors know what you thought.[3]
