I don’t know if I can make it work on any kind of timeline but I suddenly have a mighty need for B’elanna and Kira Nerys to be friends somehow.

Both rebels, freedom fighters.

Been thinking about the Marquis. There’s a song (War – Poets of the Fall) which has resonated with different blorbos over the years. It has in the past made me think of James, Helen and the Five in the Great War. But I heard it last night and just suddenly had a real clear picture of the Marquis hiding in some caves, huddled around a fire on a desolate planet. One person starts singing and then over time, with each repeating chorus, the others start joining in. Kind of like a warm light in the darkness, a moment of solidarity to affirm their bonds.

When I thought that I fought this war alone

You were there by my side on the frontline

And we fought to believe the impossible

When I thought that I fought this war alone

We were one with our destinies entwined

When I thought that I fought without a cause

You gave me the reason why

Cos I only need your name to call the reasons why I fought
