For my very first rec, I bring you The Still of the Night by Spengie 

Author's summary:
I knew the pull well, the desire to fold her into my arms so strong sometimes I shook with the effort not to. It had been different, once, I remembered.

A short missing scene from Basics I and II. Reference to Resolutions.

My thoughts:
I've read this twice now and it one of those fics that is even better the second time.

Spengie chose to write in first person, which fits this scene just perfectly. Chakotay's perspective allows the reader to see and feel Spengie's painful yet beautiful view of Kathryn Janeway. The insight into both characters, the eloquence use of words, and the setting all combine to create an exquisite look at the foundations of the J/C relationship.

This is 1345 words that captures the heart of their story, both the conflict and the love. A J/C classic for all time.
