Thanks for sharing, specifically the information on the original Jeri Taylor script. I presume it was Kate Mulgrew who asked for the edit at the end of the “Angry Warrior” speech scene. I know she has said on many occasions that she wanted to convey the impression that her parameters had not been compromised. Even once. Obviously, that would have been very difficult to sell to the audience and at conventions had the kiss and fade out been retained.
A smart move I think, as the ‘did they/didn’t they’ ambiguity is so much more enticing that a blatant fact. Though for the record, I think you are spot on in your assessment. They were far too formal with that final Bridge scene for Kate’s contention to hold. It is also true that Starfleet was - to all intents and purposes - a military organisation and due to the nature of such careers, it is imperative that the professional and personal are kept separate. Especially as tours of duty can last many months. In this case years and they thought possibly decades.
Ultimately it takes great strength of character and the ability to put others first. The real test of whether an individual has what it takes to be in a position of command. I would say that Captain Kathryn Janeway passed with flying colours, wouldn’t you?
Though I’m very glad she got to ‘let her hair down’ for a brief respite two years into their journey. Perhaps it was necessary in order for their bond to hold steadfast through all the subsequent ordeals they endured...?
A great interpretation all round.

Loved this - very well written and believable, and I agree that the 'didn't happen' that we eventually saw on screen was not very plausible :)

I can really see this being what happened on New Earth and when they got back. I'm glad you finally got it out of your head and in this story. Thank you for sharing!

This is the first time I posted anything in the review box about my own work, but a guest posted a suggestion that I write a "second chapter" with them having a secret relationship on the ship. Since I can't answer that guest in a private message, I'll do it here.
First off, I already wrote my version of that in my AU piece, "Those Who Are Left Behind." It's further down the list because I wrote it when the show was running, and I posted it here a long time ago. It's a story I'm still very happy with, for many reasons. Check it out if you haven't already done so.
I also believe there are so many J/C stories with the secret relationship scenario that I really don't have anything more I could say about it. I actually think the decision they made in "The End of the Interlude" is the only way these two very upstanding characters would act. If there is a "second chapter," it would have to take place after "Endgame."
I want to thank the reviewer who made the suggestion, however. I love to hear from readers and always appreciate it when someone takes the time to write a review. Thank you so much!-jamelia

Would love a second chapter to see if they could secretly make it work
