love this story, all of it. ty

"Seven offered a massage. I accepted. She kissed me." I. . . .toilet.

This is a wonderful story. Don't know why I did not "favorite" it before, or write a review. The concept is very original and each of the new characters adds so much to the story. It is refreshing to find a story that posits that Kathryn still has much of her humanity left after the seven years in the Delta Quadrant. Hope to see more stories someday.

Very entertaining. The first chapter kept me constantly smiling - I so enjoyed the contrast between her being in such a good mood and him being so cranky. :-) Allen and Tariq are indeed unique characters. I completely fell in love with them. They would have been great morale boosters on Voyager.

I wasn't sure about Seven's kiss first. But I can totally imagine her defending her actions by claiming her need to explore her humanity. :-)

Said before, still true, the "Queen of the Federation" comment is just priceless.

Nice one. Thank you.

That was a lovely story. I'm glad they finally got to take that boat ride on the river! :-)

Adore this! Wonderfully done, from start to finish. Thank you for sharing! x

Love this! Beautiful language. Rushing off to read the next chapter immediately, sleep be damned! x

I don't believe I possess the ability to adequately express my feelings on this story of yours. It's ilovely./iSo beautifully written, so rich with detail. I was quickly drawn into the world you so masterfully created, and enjoyed my time there immensely.

Before I further embarrass myself by continuing to gush, I'll wrap up by saying that this is one story I'll come back to again and again.

Very well done.

This was so much fun. I love B'Elanna's 'Queen of the Federation' quip, Hana's 'I'm a country dweller, not a hermit' and I completely adored Tariq and Allen. Chakotay's woefully ineloquent description of his relationship with Kathryn was spot on for me, and I laughed at Kathryn's new unit of measurement for sand. And the final chapter is delightful. Thank you!

This was cute. I'd love to see a follow-up in which he has to deal with her nightmares, though. Those seemed scary, and they were never fully resolved...
