ST: Voyager has come up surprisingly often in my reading today.

And it's only 4am, too.

Which reminds me of my perennial question I keep meaning to ask: Can anybody recommend a really good general Voyager fixit fic?

It *must* fix the following:

1. The Maquis/Starfleet relationship should definitely be more fraught.
2. Seska's character can't be screwed over like that. Geez, I get angrier the more I think about it. Such a perfect plotline handed to them on a freaking platter, and they tossed it away in favor of Seska backstabbing her way to the Kazon. WHY.
3. Neelix and Kes, if present, need to be... I dunno, better. However that looks.
4. If it goes on long enough, yes, Seven. I don't care about almost all Borg-y plots, but Seven is amazing and that show did not deserve Jeri Ryan's amazing acting.

(If I keep on listing things I'll never end, but those are the crucial parts.)

Can I interest you in Talking Stick/Circle by Macedon and Peg? It doesn't meet all of your criteria. Seven is absent because the series was written during the early seasons before Jeri Ryan joined the show, and tbh I can't remember how it handled Seska, but as far as the other two points go, I think it fits the bill, especially point one. The Maquis are given a voice and a personality, and don't just happily put on a Starfleet uniform and fade into the background except when they story deigns to remember they exist.

I'm okay with Seven not being there if they wrote it before she showed up. I just don't want her being excised if they didn't.
