Summary
Summary update!
She was never part of the plan.
A half-assimilated infant on a dying Cube, scooped from the wreckage by a captain who made a promise before she made a plan.Now Astrea Halley Janeway is a name, a presence, and a problem for every regulation Voyager has left behind.
This is the story of a captain who chose love before protocol, a crew that adapted around an infant with Borg-coded DNA, and the fragile, ferocious bonds that formed in the silence between battles. What began as rescue becomes survival. What was survival becomes family.
There are memory locks. There are ghosts. There are kisses that should never have happened and fists thrown when words failed. And through it all, there is a child who remembers everything, even when her mother forgets.
It features Starfleet’s most dangerous lullabies, parental trauma as a strategic defence mechanism, quiet hallway grief, Q doing whatever the emotional opposite of meddling is, and Janeway commanding a bridge with blood on her hands and a baby monitor in her pocket.
There was an outline. I set it on fire and need MORE coffee!
