Summary
Please read A Decision of the Stars and A Winter Star if you would like the full background for this story. A Shape of Fate is part 3 of 7 in the Protocols Unknown series.
I am warning you now, this will not end in sunshine and rainbows.
Nothing here is accidental. Every choice, every failure, every silence is part of a structure I have been mapping from the beginning.
A Decision of the Stars: Chapter 33, “The Game Ends Pt. 1”
Admiral Janeway’s voice was a whisper. “She unravels the past.”
“And remakes the future,” Q confirmed.Series

Summary
Set immediately after Voyager’s return to Earth’s orbit, this one-shot explores what happens when Kathryn Janeway is finally allowed to come home too, and how one small moment changes everything for the family she carried across the Delta Quadrant.
This is not connected to any of my other works. Written purely because AO3 was apparently on stress leave and because I have been sitting on this for 368 days (that’s not a joke).
P.S. This was not Beta read...

Summary
For the 25 Days of Voyager event, this story centers on well alot... It’s Kathryn, Chakotay, and Astrea’s first Christmas together. This is the epilogue to Timeline C: The Final Shape.
If you haven’t read the main story (Protocols Unknown: A Decision of The Stars), Astrea is the Borg baby girl the writers forgot about in Collective.
For those who’ve read it: yes, this is a JC one-shot. You’re welcome. Or I’m sorry. Probably both.
Quick reminder for returning readers and a warning for new readers, bring your tissues and camomile tea with you. There was no word count limit (thankfully), and apparently I have feelings.
Also, as someone who prefers writing Janeway-centered and not paired, this was… an experience. Merry Christmas.
You can still read this as a standalone holiday story.

Summary
The writers forgot about the Borg baby from Collective. I had questions.
This is what happened when I refused to let her go.
Astrea. Borg-influenced, unnamed, abandoned by canon. Captain Janeway takes her anyway, and from that moment, everything changes. Thirty-eight chapters of found family, impossible sacrifice, and three futures that ask what Endgame never did: what did it really cost to get home?
Readers choose their ending.
I chose mine...

Summary
It wasn’t a usual occurrence for Kathryn Janeway to be sick. In fact, as he reflected on all the years he’d known her, Chakotay couldn’t think of a day in which she had been. Life-threatening wounds? Sure, she’d had a few. But sick? No, he’d never seen her like that.
Or Kathryn is sick and the reason will surprise Chakotay.
