AITA for Leaving Our Transformed Captain's Offspring Stranded?

I know it sounds bad but please hear me out. I'm seeking your thoughts on whether I made the right call. I'm Charles (M43), the first officer of a starship. Now, this situation involves our pilot, Taylor (M27), and the captain herself (F37). Fake names for anonymity.

Taylor pitched this bold idea to break the warp 10 barrier, and against my better judgment, we went for it. Long story short, he ended up transforming into some amphibian-human hybrid. The twist? Turns out, during this warp 10 ordeal, Taylor kidnapped the captain they unknowingly conceived offspring.

Now, here's where I might've made a questionable call. After this transformation fiasco, we found ourselves on an apparently uninhabited planet, and the offspring were left behind. Yeah, I made the executive decision to leave them there. I know, it sounds heartless, but hear me out. I made the tough call to leave them there. Now, I can't shake the feeling that I might have messed up, especially knowing how much I care about the captain.

As the first officer, my primary concern is the safety and well-being of the crew. Bringing back the offspring seemed risky, and the area of space we are now is full of unknowns. My captain is someone I deeply care about, and she seemed to supported the decision, and I didn't want to undermine her authority.

But now, I'm grappling with whether I should've fought harder for a different solution. Leaving her offspring on that alien planet weighs heavy on my conscience. Did I prioritize the crew's safety at the expense of a moral obligation to someone I care about?

So, am I the asshole for leaving our transformed captain's offspring stranded on that planet? Or should I give myself some understanding given the complexities of navigating through uncharted territories?

In honor of Threshold day, on which we celebrate the most insane episode in all of Star Trek I would like to throw out the following:

In a (hopefully not so distant) future Kathryn and Chakotay are finally getting married. Everyone is excited for it, most of all Harry, because he wins the betting pool. Well, Chakotay might also be kinda excited.

At the beautiful ceremony, our two lovebirds are made husband in wife among all their friends and loved ones. The sun is shining, the birds are singing and a light breeze is moving Kathryn’s luscious mane of auburn hair. 

Chakotay has finally stopped dying his hair and it is at peak salt-and-pepper hotness. Of course, he is wearing his leather vest, because it can’t be a formal event unless vests are involved. 

At the lively celebration, they are given a gorgeous piece of artwork by Phoebe, who has managed to capture the essence of their eternal love in all its complexity. The other gifts are all equally thoughtful.

Finally, the time for speeches has come. As Tom Paris raises his glass, all eyes rest on him.  “Dear friends and family, Dear Chakotay, look at your beautiful wife. Always remember that I hit that first and that all the children you will have, will be siblings to the offspring I had with her and who you abandoned back in the Delta Quadrant.”

The end.

These are the creations for the Merry Month of Cohen 2025 so far! As you can see, I’ve added links to both your stories and ao3 usernames, so hopefully people can discover new stories and writers they like!

This will be the pinned message of the blog from now on, so everyone can access easily this year’s fics!

If I, somehow, have made any mistake with any of your creations, links, and whatnot, CONTACT ME ASAP either here or on my personal: @coffee-in-that-nebula.

This blog will remain open – and how not? I haven’t even finished my own fic yet, teehee. Thee irony. But the point is: I’m here for the late participations – no worries, take your time!

Anyway, thank you all for putting up with me this year, my gifs and poor attempts at humor, and I hope you enjoyed this year’s fest as much as I did – if not more!

I encourage you all to show some love to this year’s stories, read them, and leave kudos, and comments! I personally look forward to reading each of them!

Happy creating & happy reading!
