Anmerkung1: Okay, ich muss gestehen, ich habe schon ewig kein Next Generation oder Voyager mehr gesehen, von daher habe ich gerade keine Ahnung, ob die Zeitangaben passen können, aber egal. Ansonsten bedenkt bitte, dass Englisch micht meine Muttersprache ist. Ich bitte daher, alles seltsamen Formulierungen und Fehler zu entschuldigen.
Anmerkung2: Die Lyrics sind aus "Lady in Red" von Chris de Burgh und der "little coffee shop just round the corner from the Academy" ist eine Hommage an allmyworldsastage's wundervolle Geschichte "Lovebirds at the Night Owl".
Beverly was walking down the long winding corridors of Jupiter Station. She wasn’t really sure where she was heading ... well, scratch that, she knew exactly where she was heading, she just wasn’t sure, it was a good idea.
When she reached the designated door, she hesitated for a moment. It has been a long time, almost ten years. A lot had changed since their last meeting, she had changed and so would Kathryn. Serving on a starship will do that to you, being in command even more so. Beverly had seen it in Jean Luc.
Of course she could just wait another two hours until the official reception on the return of the Voyager. As member of the Enterprise senior staff she was invited and if their reunion should be awkward she could just loose herself in the crowd. But on that reception, she would only meet Captain Janeway and that was not, was Beverly wanted. She wanted to see Kathryn. Beverly drew a deep breath and hit the door chime. The reply was almost instant.
“Come!”
It was a firm voice, a captain’s voice. Beverly could feel her heart sink. But there was no turning back now. The door opened and before her lay Captain Janeway’s temporary quarters. She had no choice but to go in, would she not want to make a complete fool of herself. So she hesitantly stepped over the threshold, not sure what to expect.
The room before her was empty and didn’t look very lived in. She could see a few personal things scattered about, but more like someone emptied out a suitcase in search for a specific item than in the way of them living here. There was of course the mandatory coffee cup on table, but that was the only thing Beverly recognised.
“Chakotay, is that you? I’m over here.”
Beverly followed the voice deeper into the rooms until she reached the bedchamber, where she finally found the other woman.
Kathryn stood in front of a front of a huge mirror, pulling a few strands out of her artfully updone hair. The floor length deep red evening gown she wore made her look absolutely stunning. It had a high waist and a halter neck, leaving her shoulders bare and accentuating her figure in all the right places. She smiled at herself, turning this way and that, checking on her outfit.
“So, what do you think, Chakotay? Am I appropriately dressed to meet the gathered elite of Star Fleet?”
“Well, I’m not Chakotay, but to me you look amazing!”
Kathryn swirled around, ready to fight a perceived intruder at an instant, but the steely resolve on her face melted away the moment she recognised Beverly, yielding to a radiant smile.
“Beverly!”
Yes, Kathryn looked older than she had ten years ago, the Delta Quadrant had drawn lines in her face, lines of hardship, fear, sorrow and bitterness, but also of joy and laughter, lines of command. The smile however was still the same – and so was the light in her eyes as she regarded Beverly. Beverly smiled back and an a few lines of an old song sprang to her mind.
I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright, you were amazing
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side
And when you turned to me and smiled, it took my breath away
And I have never had such a feeling
Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight
It had played the first time she had met Kathryn in this little coffee shop just round the corner from the Academy all those years ago. She had never learned what is called or who had sung it, but ever since then it had inextricably linked to Kathryn in her mind. It had fitted back then, it still fitted now.
“Kathryn!”
Beverly crossed the room and embraced Kathryn, holding her tight. It felt so good to feel the other woman in her arms, her living warmth, and it was only now that Beverly realized how much she had truly missed her.
“Oh Kathryn. I’m so glad you’ve come back.”
“I’m glad to be back.”
Kathryn withdraw her head a little and there was a smile in her eyes that showed she meant much more than just being back in the Alpha Quadrant.

Date: 2018-09-10 11:35 am (UTC)Gefällt mir richtig, richtig gut. Auch ein sehr interessantes Pairing. An Beverly Crusher kann ich mich zwar nur noch dunkel erinnern, da ich TNG das letzte Mal als Kind gesehen habe, aber ich meine mich zu erinnern, dass sie genauso gerockt hat wie Janeway :D

Date: 2018-09-10 12:30 pm (UTC)allmyworldsastage hat mich mit ihren Geschichten auf dieses Pairing gebracht und da ich Janeway verehre und sowieso eine Schwäche für "Redheads" habe, war ich natürlich sofort sehr begeistert. Beverly passt perfekt zu Janeway. Die Frau bietet immerhin Picard die Stirn...

Ich fand deine Beschreibung wie das Lied in Beverys Gedanken mit Kathryn verbunden ist total schön, weil ich das auch bei bestimmten Dingen und Personen habe und das genau kenne :)
Dein Englisch ist auch super in Ordnung, mach dir da gar keine Sorgen! ^^

Date: 2018-09-14 10:40 am (UTC)Du bist übrigens nicht die einzige, die jetzt will, dass ich das weiterschreibe. Auf AO§ wurde das auch schon gefordert. Ich hättet tatsächlich ein paar Ideen, aber ich glaube, ich muss erst nochmal in den Canon eintauchen, bevor ich mich das traue.
Mit dem Englisch ist das immer so eine Sache. Man hat mir schon oft gesagt, dass ich sehr gut Englisch spreche, auch was Redewendungen und so angeht und beim Sprechen mache ich mir auch wenig Gedanken darum, aber wenn es dann auf dem Papiert steht, dann werde ich plötzlich ganz unsicher und fange an zu grübeln.
Ich hab' es übrigens mit Beta nochmal auf AO3 hochgeladen.
