Nikita: How do you do it? How do you stay sane? What’s the secret?

Walter: Knowing when to lie and when to tell the truth.

Nikita: To them?

Walter: To yourself. At night, you go to bed knowing you live in hell. That’s the truth.

Nikita: And the lie?

Walter: And you wake up in the morning thinking that this day may change everything…you’ll escape, you’ll fall in love, they’ll close the place up and send everybody home.

Nikita: Then that night, you have to face the truth again.

Tenderware “By Thirds” and “Transported” are my faves but all the stories on this site are great!

Anik “Campus” will always be the quintessential uber J7 story for me. A slow burn story filled with misunderstandings and mutual pining. I mean I spent ten years on bated breath for an update and regret nothing!

Mercy please read at your own risk but I have a deep appreciation for how out of the box, provocative these stories are and stuck with me obviously if I’m still thinking about that cannibalism one almost 20 years later.

ChimeraBloom “The Borg Colony” is such an interesting au where Seven goes back to the collective albeit a different one and Janeway follows after her. “The Guest” is a great Janeway/ofc (or is it?) story that I’m so sad will presumably never be finished.

Patricia L Givens aka DAxilla all of her stories are great but I have a soft spot for “Past Tense” and “Seven Past Midnight”
