Different ending to “Course: Oblivion,” VOY 5×18, if the Silver Blood Voyager had been able to launch their probe prior to disintegrating.
My notes:
This is such a sweet and fun episode coda for Course: Oblivion. They really capture Tom and B’Elanna’s dry banter and teasing nature while grounding it in the straight-forward, pragmatic way they deal with each other in serious moments.

Wished and hoped and prayed that they would both come to their senses, and just fall together one night.
Was tonight that night?
My notes:
One of the most plausible and realistic all things fics, in my opinion. Also, holy forking shirtballs is this hot.
