Sorry for the delay on this! Life / a lack of ideas got in the way. But then I was thinking, who does curiosity really well?  and obvs Mary Oliver came to mind so:

Banyan by Mary Oliver

Excerpt: 

It felt like years since the last lost soul travelled through their little town, and yet here she was: tall, blonde and dressed like a man in Kathryn's little shop. She stood by the counter, blue eyes sharp and focused on her, and Kathryn couldn't shake the unfamiliar feeling creeping up her spine. "Is there anything I can get you?"

i wanted to wait until i had some j7 for u hehe

Seven’s never thought of Janeway as fragile before. She’s been battered and bruised, disheveled and left powerless by their foes, but even then, she seemed strong and formidable, like no matter what they faced, she’d always get them through it. And every time, no matter what, she’d done just that. But now, lying still and pale in the dim light, she seems somehow terribly small. Like she might disappear into the sheets. Like she might break, if Seven touched her like she longs to. She wants to confirm that she’s really here, because she looks so different from the Janeway she remembers. The Janeway she’d seen what seems like a lifetime ago, before she’d let her believe she’d died.

i feel like this is a problem i still have, and most of it ~is~ hinged on the notion of wanting to write the way i like reading. i’m happy you’ve managed to break free of this <3

like there are heaps of different storystrutures rather than just One Good One, and i like to read stuff in a bunch of different ways

but somewhere along the way i looked at a few broad trends and went ‘oh that’s Good Writing’ and expanding into that will make me More Sophisticated and it was to my detriment, bc didnt actually align w my natural rhythms

like obvi i still progressed and learnt, and it’s possible the only reason im able to write this way now is bc i did all that other work. but i shouldn’t have been thinking ‘how do i write within these parameters’ and instead asked myself ‘how do i write this story effectively’
