Cold Comfort is a Chakotay/Paris story by Kate D.
Summary: A transporter malfunction during a survival course assignment leaves Chakotay and Tom Paris alone in an icestorm on the planet's surface. Finding shelter, they try to survive long enough until the transporters are online again. Soon, Chakotay learns that there's more behind the pilot's cheerful, careless facade than he's ever letting show..
Author's Notes: This takes place in the middle of season two, after 'Investigations', but before 'Resolutions'.
Recs and Reviews
This story contains two of the most (ab)used clichés in Star Trek: Voyager slash fiction: Tom Paris was abused by his father during his childhood, and (of course) raped in the penal colony at Auckland. But Kate uses them so charmingly you simply cannot not like the story. She also has written a sequel, "Tempest Tossed" (no longer just C/P), that deals with the episode "Resolutions".[2]
The story Almost There by Julie Anna is based on Cold Comfort. From the story notes:
This story is based on events established in Kate D.’s Cold Comfort written back when the show was actually still on the air. The premise is used without permission. While this is not a sequel to Cold Comfort in the strictest sense, reading that story first will provide a background explaining how Chakotay and Tom got together and some aspects of Tom’s background, though I stray from other details provided by that story.[3]
