FANFIC ART:
**JUST BETWEEN US by a href="https://lunacyreviews.ausxip.com/GL_Dartt.shtm.htm">G.L. Dartt
A delightfully charming, romantic, and poignant first-time story that has Captain Janeway struggling with feelings for Seven of Nine and finally giving in to these only to embark on an emotional journey with the young Borg many times more challenging than anything she's ever experienced before. Painfully inexperienced not only in matters of intimacy but in human relationships and Starfleet protocol as well, Seven struggles to please as she opens a vulnerable heart to the Captain - never suspecting how fear and uncertainty can some- times make humans deny what their souls crave the most. Gina's characterizations in this story are beyond OUTSTANDING. If you watch the TV series these characters will be immediately recognizable, and if you don't they'll just as easily be immediately endearing. Janeway is a Starfleet Captain in every sense of the word - committed to her ship and her crew - a no-nonsense professional whose austere demeanor hides a passionate woman tired of being alone. Seven is a young woman caught between two worlds - no longer Borg and yet not fully human either - with a brilliant mind still very much ruled by Borg logic and practicality - but a human heart very much in need of love and acceptance. The supporting cast are just as masterfully depicted, easily recalling the TV personalities and fitting wonderfully into the plot Gina creates. There are moments in this story that will have you crying from laughing so much, and then there are moments that will just have you crying <:) A truly fantastic read that will stir all those emotions and should thoroughly hook you on this engaging new subtext couple. The story receives my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION! - 6/18/98

**JUST BETWEEN THEM by a href="https://lunacyreviews.ausxip.com/GL_Dartt.shtm.htm">G.L. Dartt
In this sequel to a href="https://lunacyreviews.ausxip.com/voyager.shtm.htm#Just_Between_Us">JUST BETWEEN US, Janeway and Seven continue exploring their relationship as the Captain becomes aware of just how difficult loving a member of her crew can be and Seven starts to experience some of the other emotions that sometimes come with a relationship. Meanwhile, Voyager encounters a friendly alien ship with a very self-assured commander who immediately takes a special interest in the beautiful Borg among the humans. Gina once again combines humor, drama, romance and raw passion into a winning formula that will immediately make this story a favorite. Her characterizations are once again solid - very much true to the TV characters. Impressive as well is her ability to capture the futuristic elements of the world of Star Trek. As Janeway and Seven are falling more in love with each other, you'll be falling in love with them and with this new fan fiction. I'm hooked! :) This gets my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!! - 6/18/98

**JUST BETWEEN YOU AND ME by a href="https://lunacyreviews.ausxip.com/GL_Dartt.shtm.htm">G.L. Dartt
An OUTSTANDING sequel to G.L.'s previous two Janeway/Seven stories
a href="https://lunacyreviews.ausxip.com/voyager.shtm.htm#Just_Between_Us">JUST BETWEEN US and a href="https://lunacyreviews.ausxip.com/voyager.shtm.htm#Just_Between_Them">JUST BETWEEN THEM which leaves NO DOUBT that this talented writer and this new type of alternative fan fiction are just getting better and BETTER! :) This third installment in the series finds Janeway and her half-Borg partner experiencing some problems in the relationship as the Captain continues to put her personal life second to her job and Seven resorts to some Klingon measures to show her dissatisfaction ;-) Before the two can try to resolve the problem fate cruelly intercedes leaving a devastated Janeway trying to survive without the young woman who's so thoroughly captured her heart and Seven achingly lonely amidst a multitude of strangers, finding solace in an unexpected link to the Starfleet Captain forever in her thoughts now. I continue to be amazed at the skill with which Gina depicts the world of STAR TREK VOYAGER and the characters. From the principals to the supporting players - they are all done with incredible depth and sensitivity. It is fascinating to see Gina exploring the relationships among all these players, developing these, interpreting them in new ways while still staying true to the TV series. She is making the Janeway/Seven pairing one of the most romantic, tender and passionate in fanfic while surrounding them with a number of eclectic friends and would-be counselors that add a terrific sense of family to the stories :) With a fascinating premise, a number of popular guest stars, some of the FINEST, most clever humor I've read in a long time and a romance that will take your breath away this is another MUST READ in VOYAGER alt. fanfic. It gets my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!! [See the sequel a href="https://lunacyreviews.ausxip.com/voyager.shtm.htm#Just_Between_Friends">JUST BETWEEN FRIENDS] - 6/25/98

**JUST BETWEEN FRIENDS by a href="https://lunacyreviews.ausxip.com/GL_Dartt.shtm.htm">G.L. Dartt
G.L. does it again with the latest installment in her outstanding a href="https://lunacyreviews.ausxip.com/voyager.shtm.htm#Just_Between_Series">JUST BETWEEN SERIES. Set after the events in a href="https://lunacyreviews.ausxip.com/voyager.shtm.htm#Just_Between_You_And_Me">JUST BETWEEN YOU AND ME, the story has Janeway and Seven facing a new crisis when the former Borg's implants begin to fail and she has to undergo a life-saving operation. Determined to improve the odds of that operation as much as possible, Janeway approves the doctor's request that they create a new assistant for him, never suspecting the repercussions her decision will have. G.L. once again does an exemplary job of capturing the many different personalities that make up the Voyager crew. Her depiction of the Janeway/Seven relationship is an endearing mixture of love and playfulness, passion and innocence while the growing friendship between Seven and B'Elanna will have you in stitches and Janeway ruing the day those two became friends. G.L. uses a technique in her storytelling that is very reminiscent of the TV series itself, including subplots within the major story that are just as intriguing and thought-provoking. Like the rest of the JUST BETWEEN series, this is a fantastically entertaining read you will not be able to put down once you start reading. It receives my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!! - 8/2/98

**JUST BETWEEN ENEMIES by a href="https://lunacyreviews.ausxip.com/GL_Dartt.shtm.htm">G.L. Dartt
Perhaps the most delightful entry to date in G.L.'s *outstanding* a href="https://lunacyreviews.ausxip.com/voyager.shtm.htm#Just_Between_Series">JUST BETWEEN SERIES, this story marvelously combines drama with humor, suspense and some downright wickedness! It begins with the Voyager crew helping an alien race to save their planet, after which the very grateful aliens insist on hosting a celebration for their benefactors. It will be a challenging experience for all concerned as Seven finds herself dealing with human insecurities, B'Elanna and Tom have to fight the urge to kill one another, and Janeway has to balance diplomatic responsibilities with the need to keep her crew in one piece all the while thinking of a certain ex-Borg and the many twists and turns their relationship is taking. Lighter than the previous entries in the JUST BETWEEN series, this story does a beautiful job of developing both the characterizations and the various relationships. In particular, Gina solidly establishes the friendship between Seven and B'Elanna as one of the key sources of humor in this series, while continuing to add tremendous emotional depth to the romance between the Borg and her captain. Lots of great laughs in this one - and lots of wonderful, tender moments too. To top it off Gina even includes a guest appearance by a legendary celebrity from Earth that will leave you all with HUGE grins :) A fine addition to one of the best fanfic series on the Net - this gets my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!! -- 56 pgs., 8/26/98

**JUST BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE by a href="https://lunacyreviews.ausxip.com/GL_Dartt.shtm.htm">G.L. Dartt
Coming on the heels of the much lighter a href="https://lunacyreviews.ausxip.com/voyager.shtm.htm#Just_Between_Enemies">JUST BETWEEN ENEMIES, this latest entry in G.L.'s exceptional a href="https://lunacyreviews.ausxip.com/voyager.shtm.htm#Just_Between_Series">JUST BETWEEN SERIES is an emotional rollercoaster that cruelly strips Janeway and Seven of the comfort they've found in one another - pitting them in a life or death struggle against an old enemy...and one other. Gina continues to deliver in this series beautifully constructed, ingenious storylines with a depiction of the Janeway/Seven relationship that just captures the heart. This tale is a particularly emotional one. DO NOT MISS! It gets my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!! -- 60 pgs., 9/11/98
http://www.northco.net/~janeway/JBArc1.htm
**JUST BETWEEN REALITIES by a href="https://lunacyreviews.ausxip.com/GL_Dartt.shtm.htm">G.L. Dartt
The best series in VOYAGER fanfic continues with G.L.'s seventh a href="https://lunacyreviews.ausxip.com/voyager.shtm.htm#Just_Between_Series">JUST BETWEEN SERIES tale. Set a month after the events in a href="https://lunacyreviews.ausxip.com/voyager.shtm.htm#Just_Between_A_Rock">JUST BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE, this newest entry has Seven and her captain recuperating from their recent ordeal with the Borg collective when a sudden energy burst from an anomaly in space plunges the two into an alternate universe - a mirror world where Voyager returned to Earth years before - Janeway's life went in a very different direction and decades before a child named Annika Hansen was never assimilated by the borg - remaining fully human. G.L.'s interpretation of these STAR TREK characters makes her fiction a delight to read. She captures the essence of those characters - their relationships, their mannerisms, their way of thinking so remarkably well that you can visualize these stories as easily as if you were watching one of the TV episodes. JUST BETWEEN REALITIES is particularly poignant in that it brings Janeway and Seven face to face with what their lives could have been like if circumstances had been different - helping them both to come to terms with their pasts and preparing them for a little...addition to the family >:) Guaranteed to entertain, this one gets the lunatic's HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION! - 57 pgs., 10/1/98

G.L.'s exceptional a href="https://lunacyreviews.ausxip.com/voyager.shtm.htm#Just_Between_Series">JUST BETWEEN SERIES continues with the sequel to a href="https://lunacyreviews.ausxip.com/voyager.shtm.htm#Just_Between_Realities">JUST BETWEEN REALITIES. As the story begins, the crew of Voyager are getting ready to test a new propulsion technology they hope will get them back home much sooner than expected. When Janeway decides to pilot the first modified shuttle, a very determined Borg insists on going along. It's a mission that will last longer than either had anticipated and turn into something much different than what they had planned. This installment in the series offers a "vacation" of sorts from the familiar STAR TREK world, taking Janeway and Seven back to the basics in an adventure which cements the bond between them even further. Another entertaining and thoroughly romantic tour de force from one of the premier bards writing on the Net, G.L.'s latest gets my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION! - 45 pgs., 10/31/98

**JUST BETWEEN MEMORIES by a href="https://lunacyreviews.ausxip.com/GL_Dartt.shtm.htm">G.L. Dartt
The ninth installment in G.L.'s a href="https://lunacyreviews.ausxip.com/voyager.shtm.htm#Just_Between_Series">JUST BETWEEN SERIES, MEMORIES is possibly the most moving and most emotionally compelling entry in that series to date. It grips you with that first sentence and will keep you riveted until the last one. It begins with an anguished Seven on her way to Sickbay after learning of an accident on the Bridge...an accident which has critically injured the captain of Voyager. After a very delicate operation Janeway escapes death but the woman that survives is a very different one from the partner Seven has been sharing her life with - she's a Starfleet captain with no memory of the past three years...or the Borg that seems so utterly crushed by her indifference. Determined to get her life back to normal, Janeway sets out to regain the past three years by reading her logs only to find chronicled there the story of a love so deep it moves her beyond anything she's ever known, motivating her to try to rediscover that connection with a young woman whose pain she finds herself desperately wanting to take away. A classic romance with some very effective mystery elements thrown in, MEMORIES spotlights G.L.'s exceptional skills with characterization as she redefines the Janeway/Seven relationship and explores new facets of these characters. Beautifully written and edited, this story stands out in a series that could not get any better. A superb offering that gets my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!! - 46 pgs., 11/5/98

Meanwhile, Janeway herself is preoccupied with another concern - the distance she feels between herself and the beautiful Borg who shares her life - a distance she feels in part responsible for and which, with a little advice from an unlikely source, she sets out to eliminate. G.L. does an exceptional job here of rebuilding the relationship nearly torn apart in the earlier story. Maintaining a pattern that is true to the STAR TREK modus operandi, she presents us with a suspenseful subplot that involves many of the supporting cast while at the same time drawing the readers ever deeper into the emotional challenges faced by the two heroines. First class writing and characterizations make this another superb addition to an already incredible series - it gets my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!! - 52 pgs., 11/28/98

It's an emotional and physical voyage they launch into with a renewed sense of trust and love for one another, augmented by the captain's now distinctly more adventurous leanings, and the unlikely humor of Borg ingenuity >:) This one is going to keep a BIG grin plastered on your face throughout and might just have you wishing REAL hard you lived in the 24th century ;-) It gets my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION! - 49 pgs., 12/15/98

The latest installment in G.L.'s magnificent a href="https://lunacyreviews.ausxip.com/voyager.shtm.htm#Just_Between_Series">JUST BETWEEN SERIES marks a departure in G.L.'s usual style as she delivers a fascinating character study of both Katheryn Janeway and Seven of Nine chronicling the Borg's effort to reach her distant partner after a tragic accident threatens to push Janeway into a deep depression. In parts almost strictly dialogue, this story offers a fascinating insight not only into who these two women are but how they feel about one another, their friends, the circumstances they find themselves in and the destiny which despite the odds somehow worked to bring them together. A master when it comes to characterizations and to the depiction of the Janeway/Seven relationship, G.L. deepens those even further with this pointedly satisfying offering that you should be adding to the top of your MUST READ list right NOW!

Gina's latest contribution to the remarkable a href="https://lunacyreviews.ausxip.com/voyager.shtm.htm#Just_Between_Series">JUST BETWEEN SERIES is a gripping drama that finds Seven emotionally crippled after learning from a seer that an upcoming choice of hers will lead to one of two possible futures - one filled with hope and happiness, the other a living hell.

**JUST BETWEEN UNIVERSES by a href="https://lunacyreviews.ausxip.com/GL_Dartt.shtm.htm">G.L. Dartt
Adding to what is already one of the finest fanfic series available on the Web, G.L. Dartt brings us another OUTSTANDING Janeway/Seven tale, this one centering not only on one but TWO versions of our favorite 24th century couple. Shifting between the regular universe and the alternate one Janeway and Seven first visited in JUST BETWEEN REALITIES, the story begins in that alternate universe where Annika Hansen and Commodore Kathyrn Johnson are finally living a life together as a couple but experiencing some major disagreements over the demands Starfleet is making of them. Life seems better for their counterparts in the regular universe where Janeway and Seven are busy experimenting with all those settings in the Wonder Wand 9000 ;-)...but it's a happy, playful time that soon comes to an abrupt halt when it becomes clear that something is terribly wrong with the Captain...something is killing her and the only hope to stop it rests in two women from another universe. G.L.'s treatment of the Janeway/Seven relationship is second to none - filled with humor and passion and an incredibly appealing sense of honesty and respect. It is particularly interesting to see how she deals here with two versions of this romantic partnership, making them different and yet familiar at the same time. Featuring a very poignant conclusion, this is one of the best in the series to date. It gets my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION! - 52 pgs., 4/25/99

**JUST BETWEEN DAWN AND DUSK by a href="https://lunacyreviews.ausxip.com/GL_Dartt.shtm.htm">G.L. Dartt
The 18th entry in the JUST BETWEEN SERIES, G.L.'s latest is one of the lighter offerings in the series, chronicling a day in the lives of Janeway, Seven and their canine, Jake. For the captain and Borg the day is a mix of small frustrations, surprises, sudden joys and disappointments and a reaffirmation of the solid love that is the core of their relationship. For Jake the day starts off as usual with one of his daily romps around the ship - a little development neither of his mistresses know about yet. This day, however, all sorts of new experiences await Jake including an impromptu meeting with a potential playmate who doesn't much want to play and the opportunity to be an unlikely hero in a world unlikely to ever recognize that innocent heroism. Continually shifting the story from Janeway and Seven to their mischievous canine, this one features a terrific sense of pacing taking the reader from moments of humor to ones of quiet pathos as G.L. continues to expand on some of the most satisfying and well-crafted characterizations I've seen in fanfic. Another winner in a first-class series. This gets my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION - 38 pgs., 4/25/99

JUST BETWEEN DECKS by a href="https://lunacyreviews.ausxip.com/GL_Dartt.shtm.htm">G.L. Dartt
In one of the most action-packed and suspenseful entries in the JUST BETWEEN SERIES hostile aliens take over Voyager intent on making slaves out of the crew. Unprepared for the sudden attack and the callous ferocity of the invaders, Janeway can do nothing but join the rest of her people in a cargo bay turned prison where she learns that three of her crew members are missing - including an astrometrics officer rather dear to her heart whose lifesigns seem to have been terminated.

The 24th installment in the JUST BETWEEN SERIES has the captain first battling a bit of restlessness without her partner and then overcoming some old inhibitions when the curious Borg finally makes an appearance. Meanwhile, B'Elanna and Ro are involved in a battle of their own, struggling with the fears, insecurities and angst of a new relationship. Soon to come is a much more deadly type of battle when the crew of the Enterprise is faced with an enemy determined to confront them and apparantely not much interested in any efforts to the contrary. This is yet another fabulous addition to G.L.'s wonderful recreation of the Star Trek world. Always featuring well-crafted, intriguing storylines, it is nevertheless G.L.'s intuitive, compelling characterizations that continue to make this series such a hit with fans. It is fascinating to see how Kathryn and Seven have changed and grown, how they continue to learn from one another.

The magnificent JUST BETWEEN SERIES continues as the Voyager crew pursue the alien ship that kidnapped two of their crew members recently. Rescuing them is a challenge that will require all their skills as two away teams are formed - one with Janeway and Ro so the captain can come face to face with the enemy captain - the other an undercover team with Tuvok, Seven, B'Elanna and Harry who'll be infiltrating the heart of the enemy ship in hopes of retrieving their crew mates. It's a dangerous game of deception that will either win them the day or bring glory to their enemies. More personal challenges await them also as B'Elanna and Ro continue to try to juggle their relationship with the demands of their jobs and Janeway and Seven find themselves in an unlikely predicament that will test the Borg's legendary control like never before.
G.L. continues to do a beautiful job with the development of these characters and the relationships between them. It is particularly interesting now to see her contrasting the nuances of an established, committed partnership with the excitement and nervousness of a newly forming one. She presents us here with another beautifully crafted storyline that combines suspense, action, drama, humor and very original sci-fi concepts and situations to produce a story that is wholly believable and thoroughly entertaining. Number 26 in the series comes VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! - 47 pgs., 10/17/99

**JUST BETWEEN ALPHA AND DELTA by a href="https://lunacyreviews.ausxip.com/GL_Dartt.shtm.htm">G.L. Dartt
The 38th installment in the JUST BETWEEN SERIES marks a time of soul-searching for the captain of Voyager and its crew as they find themselves at last facing an imminent return home. Before that can occur, however, Janeway will have to deal with one of the toughest decisions she's ever faced - knowing that the slipstream drive Seven and others have been working on is the best chance they've ever had of getting back to Federation space, but very much aware that if it fails, she'll likely be dooming her ship and her crew to a permanent stay in the Delta quadrant. Meanwhile, the crew members themselves are torn on the issue - some anxious to return to friends and family - others a bit uncertain about what life will hold for them back in the Alpha Quadrant. Among the latter is Seven of Nine whose concerns are not only for what the change will mean to her life with Janeway - but what it might bring to a former Borg drone, now part of Starfleet, once she's in the hands of the military organization the Borg nearly decimated not too long ago. It's a concern Janeway dismisses - confident that Starfleet recognizes what an asset her spouse is and will work with them in easing their transition into life after Voyager. Not everyone is as confident though. Aboard Voyager and among some circles in the Alpha quadrant others sense the possible danger and start to get ready for it even as Starfleet prepares to welcome back its lost captain...and one very valuable Borg specimen. G.L. does an outstanding job here with her characterizations, contrasting the different feelings of the crew and giving these all a validity which in turn emphasizes just what a difficult decision Janeway is facing. G.L. is also very slowly building the suspense and uncertainty about what exactly will happen to this crew upon their return home drawing us into the story and leaving us enthusiastically anticipating those future installments in the series. The first story in what promises to be one INTENSE story arc, this one gets my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION! - 52 pgs.

Well, ok...a LOT ;-) It's a time of relative peace for them but for others on Voyager and back in the Alpha Quadrant it's a time of growing anxiety as plans are set in motion for Voyager's return - plans that will have the captain and her Borg as unsuspecting players in a deadly power struggle certain to test friendships, create new ones, reveal enemies and unleash forces never before seen by the Federation. G.L. is doing an outstanding job building the suspense and setting up the emotional tension for the stories to come in this fascinating arc. She introduces into the storyline here some familiar favorites from other STAR TREK series heightening the sense of excitement at what promises to be one rousing return home for Voyager and her crew.

**JUST BETWEEN QUADRANTS by a href="https://lunacyreviews.ausxip.com/GL_Dartt.shtm.htm">G.L. Dartt
The 40th entry in G.L.'s ground breaking JUST BETWEEN SERIES has Voyager coming full circle at last as they engage their new slipstream drive to begin the voyage home. Aware of the experimental nature of the technology and the all or nothing situation they're in, it's an anxious time for Janeway and her crew, made more so when glitches make that trip home a rougher ride than they had expected. Meanwhile, in the Alpha Quadrant the USS Enterprise waits to escort Voyager home while a worried Jean-Luc Picard monitors the situation unable to share with his crew just why he's so insistent about getting to Voyager before anyone else can. G.L. has done a PHENOMENAL job here capturing the excitement and nostalgia of this extraordinary moment in the story of Voyager. She does a terrific job showing how the emotion and intensity of the moment affects not only main characters like Janeway and Seven but all of the supporting cast including some very peripheral players. The story also advances the growing sense of apprehension as to just what may await Janeway and her partner when they rejoin the Federation. This is writing at its best guys - a fast-paced, totally engaging tale that will leave you screaming for more! It gets my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION - 46 pgs.

**JUST BETWEEN ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES by a href="https://lunacyreviews.ausxip.com/GL_Dartt.shtm.htm">G.L. Dartt
Back in the Alpha Quadrant at last, the 41st entry in G.L.'s amazing JUST BETWEEN SERIES brings some emotional goodbyes as Voyager crew members start moving on to new assignments and new lives. Still docked at Deep Space Nine, the Captain and Seven decide to lift their spirits with a night on the town - only things don't turn out quite as planned...Meanwhile, Ro makes contact with Jean-Luc Picard and Riker as the three put into play a top secret plan to uncover just how far Section 31's reach goes within the Federation and hopefully stop the shadowy group from getting their hands on what they want most - a former drone whose designation as Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct to the Unimatrix 01 once gave her direct access to the Borg Queen herself. The story arc G.L. began earlier in the series, just continues to get more intense in this latest addition as Janeway and Seven remain oblivious to the growing danger around them. As usual, G.L. balances the suspense and drama with some lighter moments. She also proves once again her impressive skills at portraying the world of Star Trek, including well-known locations and adding familiar characters from DS9 and NEXT GENERATIONS to an already fabulous cast. This is yet another terrific read in a series that by now has taken a life of its own, outshining anything we've seen on TV. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! - 47 pgs., 8/9/00

**JUST BETWEEN STATIONS by a href="https://lunacyreviews.ausxip.com/GL_Dartt.shtm.htm">G.L. Dartt
After seven years lost in the Delta Quadrant, the starship Voyager returns home to the enthusiastic welcome of the public, ecstatic greetings from friends and family, and much attention from Starfleet. For the ship's remaining crew it is a bittersweet time full of joys and nostalgia, full of uncertainties and some VERY unexpected surprises. For one decidedly out-of-sorts Borg it is a particularly challenging time as she tries to help her partner deal with the emotions of the moment, all the while ignoring her own unease at the coming changes. For the now former Captain of Voyager, it heralds a period of adjustment as Janeway faces an immediate future as a captain without a ship and learns that her family on Earth have indeed gone on with their lives these past seven years. Perhaps most difficult of all, is the adjustment for Ro Laren as the former security officer puts into play the first stages of a plan which will force her to lie to friends and perhaps endanger loved ones in a deadly cat and mouse game as dangerous as anything Voyager ever faced in the Delta Quadrant. G.L. is developing this "season" of her JUST BETWEEN SERIES beautifully, balancing the drama of Voyager's return home and the reunion of families with the growing sense of impending doom. As usual a touch of humor serves to lighten the story a bit reminding us of how very human these characters are. G.L. has recently been masterfully using the epilogues in these stories as a bridge to the next entry in the series - a technique she once again exercises here to foreshadow the dangers still ahead for our Captain, her Borg, their friends and families. Another great entry in one of the finest fanfic series on the net. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! - 56 pgs., 8/18/00

The 43rd installment in the JUST BETWEEN SERIES continues to chronicle Janeway and Seven's adjustment to life back in the Alpha Quadrant as the two spend time with the captain's family, deal with some unresolved issues from the past and consider their options for the immediate future. Meanwhile, Ro and B'Elanna find some unexpected good fortune on Mars...and a cryptic message from Jean-Luc Picard. Uncertain as to whether friends or foe are masterminding the events around Janeway and Seven, the Klingon and Bajoran can only hope to keep them nearby and be ready to act if Section 31 makes a move against the young Borg they've all come to care so much for. G.L. has layered this story with a number of interconnected sub-plots, one brings back the past with a poignant revelation, another is littered with humor and a sense of family as the characters tease one another and go house-hunting , while a third continues the sense of uncertainty and danger that has lingered since Voyager's return. Extremely well-versed in Star Trek canon and revealing an uncanny ability to recreate that world, G.L. also does a wonderful job here in giving us a taste of what the Federation is like outside the confines of a starship. Thoroughly engrossing and as usual, skillfully written - this makes for yet another terrific addition to G.L.'s well-loved series. It gets my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION! - 58 pgs., 9/1/00

**JUST BETWEEN RANKS by a href="https://lunacyreviews.ausxip.com/GL_Dartt.shtm.htm">G.L. Dartt
The suspense and intrigue continue in this 44th installment of the JUST BETWEEN SERIES as Janeway, Seven and Ro visit Starfleet headquarters for a debriefing, each going away with very different impressions of the admirals there. Reluctant to be a pawn in the ever fiercer power game between two of these, Janeway makes her position clear and finds herself drawn to an offer than unbeknownst to her may be steering her toward an eventual confrontation with some very dangerous forces. Meanwhile, Ro is growing increasingly uneasy, keeping close to Seven but still unable to pinpoint where exactly lies the greatest threat to the young Borg. G.L. is cleverly developing this arc into a tremendously compelling mystery - adding players to the mix and revealing aspects to the existing characters certain to keep us guessing as to who is friend or foe. As usual she adds a pinch of humor here, a dash of romance there to create a tantalizing fictional dish just perfect for those fanfic taste buds of ours. Another one for the MUST READ list folks.

JUST BETWEEN PLANETS by a href="https://lunacyreviews.ausxip.com/GL_Dartt.shtm.htm">G.L. Dartt
The 45th installment in G.L.'s splendid Voyager saga finds Janeway and her Borg spending a little time apart as the former Voyager captain takes the reins of her new position as commander of the Utopia Planitia base and Seven travels to Thrill and Vulcan with her sister-in-law and Lieutenant Ro. Along for the ride supposedly because of her interest in Thrill art, Ro is in fact under orders from Janeway to keep the Borg safe - a task which happens to go hand in hand with her mandate from Picard to keep the Borg from falling into the hands of Section 31. Unbeknownst to the Bajoran, however, a very personal surprise awaits her on the Vulcan home world where a decision made in the past will prove to have long-lasting repercussions. All the while, the sense of hidden danger continues as Janeway learns that an old acquaintance is now an enemy and Ro realizes that Section 31 may be planning something more dangerous than anything she or Picard have suspected. Fine writing, an emphasis on the various relationships, a terrific supporting cast and the continuing sense of suspense in the Section 31 arc all combine to make for another very entertaining read. G.L. does a particularly nice job here in having Janeway and Seven deal with some challenges to their
relationship even as the foundation of love, trust and respect between them is once again reaffirmed. Another one for the MUST READ list. DO NOT MISS! - 51 pgs., 10/22/00

The 46th entry in G.L.'s JUST BETWEEN SERIES finds Seven and the Captain celebrating the young Borg's birthday but also worrying about a friend's future when they learn that Starfleet Medical is attempting to take "ownership" of the Doctor with the probably intent of dismantling his emitter and his program. It's a situation that brings Seven into conflict once again with Admiral Necheyev and has Janeway visiting an old friend while the doctor makes a decision that could change his life forever. G.L. continues in this story to beautifully develop both her characters and the relationships between them - showing how life in the Alpha quadrant has changed some of their priorities and may even be changing some of their perspectives. G.L.'s trademark humor is here as is her knack for presenting very sound arguments for the different positions her characters take. Another solid, engrossing read from this master storyteller.

It's a short-lived moment of happiness for the two, however.

Meanwhile, Ro and Sam search for the missing Doctor, suspecting that he may in a lot more trouble than they ever thought and B'Elanna allies with an unlikely partner determined to try to get to Seven before others do.

One HECK of a roller-coaster ride, this action-packed continuation of the JUST BETWEEN SERIES is guaranteed to keep you in that seat for the duration as Starfleet, the nefarious Section 31, the Orion Syndicate and one Seven of Nine former drone of the Borg collective come to a gripping confrontation on a distant colony. Reunited with a couple of her former Voyager crew members, a weakened Janeway plans her escape from the colony but one madman is determined to stop her at any cost. Meanwhile, intent on rescuing her spouse, Seven leads a covert assault on the syndicate's home world, never suspecting the darker objectives she might be serving. Before it's over key players will be dead, others seriously wounded and two souls will lie devastated, hurt by words and circumstances more damaging that even the worst physical injuries. Fast paced and as usual masterfully written, G.L.'s 48th contribution to this series brings to a fantastic climax a story she's been building for a while now. G.L. does a terrific job building the suspense by shifting from scene to scene as she brings all these players together in one explosive confrontation. Janeway and Seven's characterizations standout with the two at their most heroic, most intense, most loving and most vulnerable.

JUST BETWEEN LOYALTIES by a href="https://lunacyreviews.ausxip.com/GL_Dartt.shtm.htm">G.L. Dartt
In the aftermath of the Orion fiasco, Janeway finds herself questioning her commitment to Starfleet while Seven seeks help from an old friend to try to cope with her own trauma. Most troubling to both women in the months ahead, however, is the increasing distance they sense in their relationship and the frustrating inability to do anything about it. Meanwhile, Starfleet starts preparations for the maiden voyage of the USS Millennium as her captain starts assembling the crew. The 49th installment in the JUST BETWEEN SERIES is very much a character piece and a relationship piece concentrating on the principals - their fears and hopes as their lives are about to change and their efforts at strengthening the partnerships and friendships they have come to value so much. G.L. has always excelled at giving us an insight into who these characters are via some of the best dialogue exchanges I've ever read in fanfic. Those are here in plentitude once again. It is a delight to see a writer who doesn't just say that her characters care about one another but who shows them working at these relationships - examining them, nurturing them, creating an intimacy that is augmented by the physical but goes way beyond it. Another beautiful read from one of the best in the business. Number 49 gets my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION! - 50 pgs., 1/28/01

What could possibly be better than a story featuring our favorite Starfleet Captain and Astrometrics Officer at their most mischievous, most romantic and most endearing? How about a story featuring TWO versions of our favorite 24th century duo! This is exactly what G.L. and B.L. have brought us in this latest collaboration which EASILY takes its place among the finest entries in the amazing JUST BETWEEN SERIES. Opening in the alternate universe we first visited in JUST BETWEEN REALITIES, this new tale has Captain Kathryn Johnson and Science Officer Annika Hansen in the fight of their lives as they struggle not only against the enemy forces attacking the Federation in its war against the Dominion, but also against personal devils of their own as they try to salvage what is left of a relationship neither is quite sure how to salvage. When Captain Johnson is injured in the middle of a devastating attack, a desperate Annika, in charge of Voyager, has no choice but to create a rift and plunge the ship through it into the twin universe where another Voyager awaits. Reunited with their counterparts, Janeway and Seven suddenly find themselves with quite a number of challenges on their hands as they assist in the repairs of the alternate ship and consider ways to help the Federation from that other world survive the terrible war they're engaged in. Most difficult of all will be the emotional challenges as together they try to teach Kathryn Johnson and Annika Hansen how to love one another again - while Seven must deal with a very personal challenge of her own, coming face to face with one of the most difficult parts of her past. Make sure to strap yourself in for this MARVELOUS new trip into the Delta Quadrant because when this tale isn't tearing at your heart-strings with emotional reunions and a poignant look at what some of Voyager's finest might have been under different circumstances, it's gonna be doing SERIOUS damage to that funny bone with some of the most HYSTERICAL bonding moments you'll ever come across - all the while affecting...other parts of your anatomy with those scenes of raw passion and sweet romance these two veteran fanfic talents have down to an art form! A reading DELIGHT, featuring first-class storytelling and the return of some old Star Trek favorites, this latest Janeway/Seven adventure gets my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION! - 124 pgs., 3/17/00
