5Friendly Fire Part I by Barbara Watson
In the latest installment of Barb's Connect the Dots series, Barb continues to amaze me. I absolutely loved it. We get a wonderful portrayal of Chakotay's feelings concerning the relationship. I also love any time we are shown any of Tom's holodeck programs and the New Years Eve party is by far my favorite. From the invitation and Christmas gift, to the "threat" that Harry may tag along, to Tom's last minute attempt to make sure that Harry won't, to the party itself......it was absolutely wonderful and Barb's descriptions were dead on. Lastly, I was very impressed that Barb thought to include Lyndsay Ballard this early on. I can only sit patiently and wait for Barb to work her magic on the Harry-Lyndsay relationship as the Tom-B'elanna one progresses further. There is no doubt in my mind that Barb deserves this award for the second year in a row.

Wonderful story! Tom and B'Elanna's characterizations were spot on and it was interesting to hear snippets from their post-Endgame lives, such as the Doctor spoiling Miral with toys, the 'assimilated' doll and Miral doting over the poor dog.

Great story that tells the post-Voyager life as I think it might very well have turned out to be. I like the jumps between past and present and how Tom and B'Elanna's feelings towards each other and the pain they experience are portrayed.

10One For The Family Scrapbook by P. L. Heyes~~DangerMom
What a thoroughly delightful story! I really enjoyed this 'snapshot' of the Paris-Torres clan. I got a real kick out of the image of Miral riding on a targ with her cousins' encouragement, and I can just see the looks on Tom's and B'Elanna's faces. There are many other lovely 'family' moments as well.

This is a terrific B'Elanna-centric fic. Deede captures B'Elanna's thoughts perfectly. Indeed, it's a fitting coda to "Extreme Risk."

This fic is vintage DangerMom and it's a real treat to have another story from her. I really enjoyed the Paris-Torres family's vacation on the Klingon homeworld and the image of Miral riding a targ is absolutely priceless. The characterizations were also perfect. I'd love to see more from DM in the coming year. Please?

This is quintessential meta-fic - more to the story than meets the eye on first read. And of course, the image of Tom slumped on the sofa with a bowl of popcorn on his stomach is absolutely adorable.

13Tom's Big Day by Rocky
I'm biased, but I love this fic so very much. A day that starts out bad, gets progressively worse, and then happily, as the proverb goes, all good things come to those who wait. A very fun fic, filled with humorous and sweet moments. Definitely a must-read fic for anyone who enjoys P/T.

5Friendly Fire Part I by Barbara Watson
Wow! I love the "Connect the P/T Dots" series. This installment takes a few small details and weaves them into a warm and entertaining piece. The characters are so well-written, the dialogue very natural, and the introspective comments/paragraphs right on target. And the character names in the "steamy" novel -- what a hoot! The story has everything -- compelling characters [if they weren't so well-written, they would not be so compelling], interesting settings, humor, conflict, and romance. What a great read.

A sweet and amusing story. This author writes so well, so naturally, so consistently, her work is always a pleasure to read. I love how a canon reference about a stuffed targ works its way into a delightful tale. The characters are written well and the author has a good feel for Klingon speech and mannerisms. A very enjoyable read.

12The Sweetest Days by Seema
Consider this the calm before the storm in the GD series. Tom and B'Elanna have a quiet moment to reflect on their lives at present, their hopes and fears for the future, to take stock of everything they fear they may be about to lose. The mood is quiet, the tone affectionate. Seen in the retrospective of what is about to come, it makes the reader feel good that P/T have this moment to draw strength from. As always, Seema does a masterful job with this couple.

5Friendly Fire Part I by Barbara Watson
I loved the first installment of the "PT Connect the Dots" series last year, "Barriers" and this latest episode does not disappoint. That story captured so well the early Paris and Torres when they were still getting to know each other and learning to trust. Trust is also a theme of this story as they build on their friendship. I liked the appearance of the amusement park from that story at the beginning of this one. Each story doesn't just connect the dots of the relationship though but interweaves it's own scenes and plot. Nor are other relationships neglected. The couples' interactions with Harry and Chakotay are well done too. The author really nails all the voices. (There are spots of humor too--I loved the excerpts of the "bodice-ripper" B'Elanna finds on a PADD. I thought the names of the hero and heroine of that one was a particularly nice touch). I loved the scene with the New Year's Eve party the most. Sweetly romantic. Barbara Watson is a skillful writer who really knows her craft and "PT Connect the Dots: Friendly Fire" reads as smoothly as any profic--only with the wealth of feeling with delivered by the best of fan fiction.

9Letters to Neelix by Barbara Watson
I liked this series of letters to Neelix from two of his Voyager friends back in the Alpha Quadrant post-Endgame. I was charmed from the beginning by Paris' account of Miral "assimilating" her doll into the Borg because she wants it to look more like Auntie Annika. No doubt like Neelix, I found myself greatly enjoying finding out what had happened to everyone after the end of Voyager's trek. I enjoyed how this shuttled back and forth between letters from Tom and B'Elanna and felt the writer really nailed their voices and personalities. I loved the thoughts about what the real heritage is of their children.

10One For The Family Scrapbook by P. L. Heyes~~DangerMom

As someone who thinks *Galaxy Quest* was the best Trek movie made (after *The Wrath of Khan*) and a fan of VS 7.5, I certainly enjoyed the premise of this story immensely. "Repeat" is one funny story. Loved the line about the show being under new management. (If only we were that lucky...)

12The Sweetest Days by Seema
This is another special installment in the "Glory Days Universe" by Seema. In the immortal words of Tom Paris, I love this zoo! There was more than one laugh out loud moment in this charming story. Seema always brings something special to the way she writes about Paris and Torres. Seema sets up the cozy domesticality of the Paris household so well, that it was a real jolt when the talk turned to rumors of war. As we go through our own rumors of war in our own time, that entire scenario takes on a lot of resonance--and gave those "sweetest days" a lot of poignancy. And so in a series that at first focused on the everyday, the personal, the plot began as they say to thicken!

13Tom's Big Day by Rocky
Rocky gave Seema a Paris/Torres tale for her birthday and the best part is that we all get to share the present! She writes this pair with chemistry to burn. This story reminds me a little of one of my favorite Voy episodes, "Day of Honor" with everything that can go wrong happening to poor B'Elanna. The part about all that went wrong at first for poor Tom Paris was hilarious. I loved the line about how if his hairline receded much further he'd be a genius! And I could just see Tom's quarters being the unholy mess Rocky described. I loved the bit of Janeway and Chakotay she sneaked in with than laschivious grin from Chakotay, and her description of Janeway sloshed in the Arachnia outfit was hysterical. And the ending was nicely romantic. Very, very nice. "Tom's Big Day" is one very enjoyable story.

The relationship between Tom and B'Elanna is one of the great points in the Glory Day universe. For me, it represent a hope for happily ever after. The fact tht Tom's primary priority is the family felt absolutely right. The humor and banter btw Tom and B'Elanna made this a joy to read.

B'Elanna confronting Tom with a bat'leth is a great start to any story. Their conversation about the risk of war is somber; Seema captures both their sense of duty and of inevitability very well, as well as foreshadowing future events in the Glory Days series.

I really love Paris-Torres family stories. This "Glory Days" entry is a lovely one, showing a very lively family (just the way I imagine it) but with an ominous overtone that will be developed in further stories.
