General Fics

Stories focused on the family and the friendly relationships of the cast. Plot-focused stories or light day-in-the-life stories. Pretty much anything that isn't focused on romance.

The Best of Both Girls by Jim Wright (of Delta Blues)

• Recommended by Nate The Great
• Synopsis: The Borg have abducted Captain Janeway to discuss the Species 8472 invasion. After Kathryn proposes an alliance they attempt to assimilate her. She notices the power vacuum left by the death of the Borg Queen in Star Trek: First Contact and takes over the whole Borg Collective as the new Queen. And that's just the beginning...
• Comments: The story is complete, so you won't be Left Hanging. Be aware that this was written back in 1999, so more recent developments aren't present. The story won a few awards back in the day, including Best of Trek Fanfic. And since Jim had done so many reviews for Delta Blues he knew how to write the characters. If you pay attention you'll find cameos and Continuity Nods from all over the Trek metaverse.

Revisionist History by Penny Proctor

• Recommended by Across The Stars
• Pairing: Janeway/Chakotay
• Summary: Fifty years after Voyager's miraculous return, long-hidden truths come to light - about a Captain who risked everything to save her crew, and a love story for the ages that defied all odds.
• Comments: Written in late 2000 and finished in early 2001, this epic story of Voyager's return concerns Jake Sisko as he looks for the woman behind the Starfleet legend and exposes truths long kept buried. One of the best fics in any genre, ever, about a love story for the ages. Disregards the last half-season of Star Trek: Voyager. A must-read for any fan, especially those dissatisfied with the ending Voyager got.

Alternate Universe Fics

Star Trek: Warship Voyager by LLP

• Recommended by bluephoenix12
• Synopsis: A Memory Gamma fic Basically take every hot alternate universe version of nearly every female Star Trek character give em all several levels up in Badass and throw em all on a seriously tricked out version of Voyager (without trying to turn it into a Thirty-Sue Pileup) and have them interact with nearly every other character from other Trek universes and you have Warship Voyager. Originally it was created as a standalone story and universe within the STEU however its now taken a life of its own and other Writer/editors have added their own characters and Crossover stories to it.
• Comments: The troper who is writing this right now is also the stories creator so everything here can be considered Word of God. The actual story itself (done in Web Comic format) is only barely started however other writers have continued the storyline by including the characters within the crossover chapters of their stories see Star Trek: Conflict on Memory Gamma for more information.

Continuation Fics

Voyager Virtual Season 7.5

• Recommended by Big T
• Synopsis: A combination Continuation and Fix Fic, this one picks up halfway through season 7, after the episode "Shattered", in order to override the panned ending of the series. It lasts 3 seasons.
• Comments: Unfortunately, this was not completed, and, in fact, is now only available from the Internet Archive or a mirror. Still, the stories are good enough that I couldn't leave them be.

Voyager Virtual Seasons 8 and 9

• Recommended by Big T
• Synopsis: A pure Continuation of Voyager, resolving what happened to the Borg, Section 31, while allowing a new enemy and explaining the actual purpose of Voyager's mission in the Delta Quadrant. It wraps up the story in a much more compelling way, resolving nearly everything the fans complained about.
• Comments: The best of the virtual seasons, this one is actually completed. It lasts two seasons, as you would expect, and is even "reviewed" on Five Minute Voyager. It also really doesn't break continuity, at least with onscreen canon. If you found the ending of Voyager unsatisfying, this will fix you up.
