Reactions and Reviews
A very nice look at what happened after Endgame. [1]
Ah, Glory Days. This installment was a sweet, deceptively reassuring Paris and Torres read. [2]
Consider this the calm before the storm in the GD series. Tom and B'Elanna have a quiet moment to reflect on their lives at present, their hopes and fears for the future, to take stock of everything they fear they may be about to lose. The mood is quiet, the tone affectionate. Seen in the retrospective of what is about to come, it makes the reader feel good that P/T have this moment to draw strength from. As always, Seema does a masterful job with this couple. [3]
This is another special installment in the "Glory Days Universe" by Seema. In the immortal words of Tom Paris, I love this zoo! There was more than one laugh out loud moment in this charming story. Seema always brings something special to the way she writes about Paris and Torres. Seema sets up the cozy domesticality of the Paris household so well, that it was a real jolt when the talk turned to rumors of war. As we go through our own rumors of war in our own time, that entire scenario takes on a lot of resonance--and gave those "sweetest days" a lot of poignancy. And so in a series that at first focused on the everyday, the personal, the plot began as they say to thicken! [4]
The relationship between Tom and B'Elanna is one of the great points in the Glory Day universe. For me, it represent a hope for happily ever after. The fact tht Tom's primary priority is the family felt absolutely right. The humor and banter btw Tom and B'Elanna made this a joy to read. [5]
B'Elanna confronting Tom with a bat'leth is a great start to any story. Their conversation about the risk of war is somber; Seema captures both their sense of duty and of inevitability very well, as well as foreshadowing future events in the Glory Days series. [6]
I really love Paris-Torres family stories. This "Glory Days" entry is a lovely one, showing a very lively family (just the way I imagine it) but with an ominous overtone that will be developed in further stories. Still, it's a very sweet story of the highest quality, just as all the "Glory Days" stories are. [7]
