atraphoenixPrompt: LegacySpoilers: Post-series, though there are spoilers for episode 05x01, "Night".
Summary: There's something about the legacy inherent in the name of a strong person to be admired.
Author's Notes: There was another story I really wanted to try for this prompt, but I knew it wouldn't work right. It was a similar situation, but involved a long lost lover of Kathryn's, and I didn't think I would be able to adequately and properly introduce the lover in the context of the story. Plus? The prompt was about Kathryn, not Kathryn and a heretofore unknown lover of hers. That story will come somewhere down the line.
I want to do a major shout out to
Watch Trek.com for having all of the
Voyager episodes available, so I could re-watch
Night for clarification. You can bet that site will be used in the future for any episodes I need to rewatch. Any family and background info I'd forgotten and needed on Kathryn Janeway came from
Memory Alpha.
Additional inspiration on this story came from the song,
I'm Your Captain (Closer to Home) by Grand Funk Railroad. The
lyrics were more important when I was going to focus on "Night", but I listened to the song on repeat for the bulk of the time that I was writing this story, so they still work as an influence/inspiration.
