Here it is, the story that fought me for every. single. word. I still don't know why. Because I haven't written Star Trek fic in forever? Because neither Jennifer Colt nor Christopher Pike have voices I can easily hear in my head? Because retelling this the original story from the perspective of minor characters required me to invent way more plot than I realized it would? Probably all of the above. Anyway, I'm reasonably happy with the fic, even though it was harder to write than I thought it would be. My recipient liked it, and so did some other people - which was a nice surprise, considering it's about very minor characters in a mostly dead fandom. I'll consider it a win.
