DUBIOUS HONOR by a href="https://lunacyreviews.ausxip.com/Vaxen.shtm.htm">Vaxen
In yet another response to what has quickly become one of the most "inspirational" Voyager episodes ever, FAIR HAVEN, the captain inadvertently learns more about herself than she intended when she asks her resident Borg to help her with some modifications to the hologram Michael O'Sullivan. A nicely written godsend for subtexters with some amusing moments - DO NOT MISS! - 4 pgs., 1/24/00

   The first entry in the ELEMENTS SERIES has Seven trapped with B'Elanna on an alien craft while Voyager tries desperately to retrieve them - in the process both Seven and the Captain of Voyager learn a little about their feelings toward the other.

3. ELEMENT OF DANGER by a href="https://lunacyreviews.ausxip.com/Vaxen.shtm.htm">Vaxen
   Seven decides to court the Captain of Voyager as the two take the first tentative steps toward a relationship but fate soon intervenes making Janeway realize the truth of that old adage warning that you don't know what you have until you lose it.

4. ELEMENT OF REALITY by a href="https://lunacyreviews.ausxip.com/Vaxen.shtm.htm">Vaxen
   The fourth entry in Vaxen's ELEMENTS SERIES revisits the alternate universe the original series and others since then have depicted where Star Trek regulars have exact doubles with VERY different personalities. This time around Voyager goes on the alert when the Janeway from that alternate universe kidnaps their Captain intent on finding a way for her own crew to get home. What the Captain finds is a Voyager ruled by fear, intrigue and brute strength where her friends have turned into enemies and one Annika Hansen is little more than a servant. Fascinating premise in an emotional storyline. DO NOT MISS! - 7 pgs., 1/24/00

   The sixth entry in the ELEMENTS SERIES has Janeway, Seven and the Voyager crew doing double duty as baby sitters - a task made a taaaad more complicated because the bundle of joy in question happens to be a teenage Q.

**FEAR AND HOPE by a href="https://lunacyreviews.ausxip.com/GL_Dartt.shtm.htm">G.L. Dartt
G.L. takes a break from her JUST BETWEEN SERIES to write a delightfully entertaining first time story set just after the episode HOPE AND FEAR (review and synopsis of the episode by a Trekkie named Jim Wright available at a href="http://www.treknews.com/%20deltablues/hopeandfear.html">http://www.treknews.com/ deltablues/hopeandfear.html) which finds the captain of Voyager offering to assist Seven in her efforts to understand humanity, and getting MUCH more than she bargained for when the young Borg loses her heart for the first time to...some member of the crew ;-) G.L.'s uncanny ability to capture the characterizations we see in the TV series, seamlessly integrating them into somewhat different situations is once again evident in this story which gives us a very vulnerable portrayal of Seven of Nine in a story with just the right mixture of drama, humor and passion. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - 25 pgs., 11/28/98
