Very thought provoking in regards to the tricks of memory, nostalgia and the mundane. Things I need to take some time preccessing myself .
And a concrete message I'll try to remind my daughter's of too ( I always figured midnight is not the time for hard problem solving- but this is a sound bite my littles can understand)
"She allowed herself a small smile; the tired mind could come up with a whole heap of crazy"

It would be impossible to fully capture a person from memories that are 10 or more years old. I know when I think of my father, who died decades ago, it's like I'm glimpsing his face. I can never study it. I need pictures for that. I hope someone has images to give her once she gets home.

Lovely story.

I love this! And I'd love to read more! Does tuvok help her? Do they find a picture?

These are wonderful missing moments you've written. I wish I could be more eloquent, but please know that I completely loved this!

Interesting one-shot. Thank you for sharing.

Sweet story.

I love the symmetry, the rhythm of heat and chill, breath and silence in the push pull of B'Elanna and Tom's relationship, set within the sounds of the daily cycle of life on the ship.
There are several lovely character touches, including Tom's introspection when he considers the fact that, unlike B'Elanna, he has the option to display images of his family but has chosen not to do so; B'Elanna apparently shutting out Tom by using a privacy code that he does not know, but then on his request for admission, immediately opening the doors to him.

That was a quietly beautiful piece on the power (and failings) of memory, in the face of a solid and discernible present. All the more effective for its subtlety. Thank you.

PS: And of course B'Elanna would be the one hogging the covers ... :-)

A convincing portrait of B'Elanna's way of dealing with certain things. A good read. Thanks.

As you know, I am a little bit in love with this piece. The way that form, content and tone all weave together, creating a subtle but infinitely rich fabric. Beautiful, perfect, intriguing.

How delightful! While much of the ST Voyager universe deals with the wrong turn that leads to the loss of possibilities and potential and the pain of regret, Tom and B'Elanna's relationship stands out as creative force that makes these characters whole, real, worthy and limitless. Thank you, thank you!
