knowing what we know, knowing what we don't know

Later, he would struggle to explain how the coma felt.

Time had been impossible to grasp, a long stretch of nothing spanning from the end of everything to the beginning of it all.

There had been no time in that strange place, rather he had simply floated, aimless and formless.

It was nice, peaceful.

Occasionally there would be something, some presence at the very edge of his awareness, but he could never quite grasp it, never quite make out anything in the familiar mumble teasing at his hearing.

A Tuvok/Chakotay drabble for @angsty-violet for the @startreksecretsanta!

After s01e01 Caretaker: Chakotay found out that Tuvok was Janeway's spy, and now he wants answers... Tuvok is just glad that he is only starting this conversation now that they are alone.

"You are one of them." Chakotay states in a flat voice, flatter even than Tuvok's own usually is.

“As are you now, Captain- Commander.” Tuvok corrects himself.

“You know my opinions on Starfleet- but I never thought they had their people sleep with the enemy.”

Tuvok’s eyes widen minisculely.

“They do not.” He forces himself to reply. “I was with you of my own free will.”

“Were you?” Chakotay stares him down. “Even though I am the enemy?”

“You were never my enemy.” Tuvok replies. “I fell for you despite our differences- And you are Starfleet, too, now.”

Chakotay smiles.

I’m pretty sure you’re English but you live in Ireland so I always read your writing in an Irish accent.

me: what could be worse than someone thinking i’m american

I think it’s pretty standard that they didn’t give warning - however, that doesn’t make it right. I think a complaint is pretty fair, just to request warnings ahead of time for things that commonly make some people very uncomfortable. And, if you have a more unusual trigger, or just want to be very certain that you won’t encounter something like this again, I’d ask your teacher either before the class even begins for the semester/year to warn you in advance of pieces with (in your case) nudity - or, on the other hand, ask on a case-by-case basis if you suspect the assignment to have something you can’t handle in it - like, for instance, seeing that ‘R’-rating.

Hope you like it <3

Violet Night

Vegas isn’t a good person, he knows that. But whether by delusion or the mercy of some heavenly being Vegas didn’t believe in, Pete seemed convinced he was someone worth loving. Vegas was never going to take that for granted. One day, Pete would realize he was nothing without the minor family ring. Any day now Pete was going to wake up and realize Vegas was an asshole and would want nothing to do with him, but no need to hasten the process. Better to do what he could to mitigate the damage. So, when Pete suggested they have dinner with Porsche, the man who took away his birthright, Vegas acquiesced without a fuss.

“Sure, love.” It wasn’t that Vegas hated Porsche. He actually respected him a lot after he’d handed Vegas a hit he absolutely deserved, Vegas thought things between them were good now. But then his Pa died, and Vegas had seen that woman in Porsche’s arms. Then, Korn had given Porsche his ring. Things are different now.
