LOVEmber Day 30: Endgame

“Bridge to Lieutenant Paris. We're ready to get underway.” “Captain, I'm afraid—” “Go.” “But…” “No buts, fly boy. If this mission is going to succeed we need our best pilot at the helm. Don't worry, the Doctor will be here with me.”

And that’s a wrap on LOVEmber! Thanks to everyone for following along, I hope you enjoyed reliving all the mushy stuff. A big thank you to lisam100 for all the help in putting this month of kisses together! She made a video of (almost - Steth, gag!) every aired P/T kiss and it’s the perfect thing to cap off our Month of Love.

LOVEmber Day 29: Memorial

“So what do you think?” “Oh! A television set.” “Circa 1956. I replicated the components, but I assembled it myself. This is the remote control. You select what you want to watch by pressing this button.” “A slight problem. There were no remote controls in the 1950's.” “I took a little poetic license.” “CARTOON!”

LOVEmber Day 28: Drive

“The holodeck will always be here. This race won't.” “I do not deserve you.” “You're right about that.”

Bonus anniversary repost of a great fic detailing 27 P/T kisses by the incomparable SeemaG:

LOVEmber Day 27: Scientific Method 

“What is it?” “I just had the feeling that somebody was watching us. I must be completely paranoid about getting caught in a compromising position.” “Kind of exciting, isn't it?”

Bonus x-ray/scanner kiss:

LOVEmber Day 26: Renaissance Man

“You know, this might be our last chance to be alone for the next eighteen years.” “I will make some time before the baby comes, I promise.”

LOVEmber Day 25: Blood Fever

“So this is the part where you throw heavy objects at me?” “Maybe later.”

Note: I’m going to go ahead & call nuzzling Tom’s wrist and scraping her teeth over his skin a kiss because otherwise this final week of LOVEmber would be all Drive pics all the time because I failed to plan. 🤷‍♀️

LOVEmber Day 24: Drive 

“…the way I see it, you're trading an Ensign for a Chief Engineer.” “Well, you don't have to convince me. I couldn't ask for a better co-pilot. Now just remember, we're not on vacation. The point is to win.” “And you know how much I hate to lose.”

Bonus pic of Tom’s cute, bewildered expression: “Say Qapla’!”

LOVEmber Day 23: Endgame

“You fly boys are all the same. You'll probably take the first piloting assignment that comes along and leave me home to change the diapers.” “Not a chance.”

LOVEmber Day 22: Memorial 

“Welcome home.” “I should go away more often.”

(Harry, obviously fearing a welcome home kiss from B’Elanna: “I'm not going away for a long, long time.”)

LOVEmber Day 21: Drive

“To the winners. B'Elanna Paris. That has a nice ring to it.” “Thanks, but I already have a ring. Anyway, I kind of like the sound of Tom Torres.” “I hope you're kidding.” “Hey, it is the twenty fourth century.”

LOVEmber Day 20: Blood Fever

“I'm not sure exactly what I'm supposed to do.” “Well, what are you doing?” “Enjoying myself?” “Then show it!”

LOVEmber Day 19: Barge of the Dead

“I can't believe the captain is allowing this. One minute you're in a coma, the next you're a born-again Klingon? I just don't get it.” “I'm not sure I get it, either. I just know this is something I have to do.” “There must be an easier way for you to explore your spirituality. Go to church, or something?” “It wouldn't be enough.” “Look, I'll read the scrolls, I'll learn Klingon. We'll figure this out together.” “Next time.” “I just hope there is a next time.” “There will be. … I'm ready.” “Be careful.”

LOVEmber Day 18: Lineage

“You're in a good mood.” “It's another beautiful day in the Delta Quadrant.” “What did you have for breakfast?” “I'll see you tonight.”

[paris-torres-month]

LOVEmber Day 17: Workforce

“What's that for?” “For taking care of me, even when you didn't know who I was.” (Then she punches his arm.)  “Ow! What was that for?” “Flirting with your customers.” “I was a victim of mind control.”

[paris-torres-month]

LOVEmber Day 16: Revulsion

“B’Elanna, this is ridiculous. It's been three days and we haven't said a word to each other.” “I know, I know. We have to talk.” “About what you said. I mean, the part about being in love with me. I realise you were suffering from oxygen deprivation and we were literally seconds away from death, so I know you probably didn't mean it.” “No, no, I meant it. But I don't expect you to reciprocate. Really, you can just pretend that I didn't say it. In fact let's just pretend that I didn't—“ “Shut up.”

[paris-torres-month]

LOVEmber Day 15: Drive

“How come you never talked to me about this before?” “Well, you've got that tough Klingon exterior. And er, I didn't think you liked the mushy stuff.” “Do I look that tough right now?” “Does that mean you're in the mood for some mushy stuff?” “Maybe.” “Exactly what kind of mush are we talking about?” “You tell me.” “Well, there's, um, kissy stuff.” “That was nice.” “And there's the you're the most important person in the world to me.” “I like that one, too.” “And there's the happily ever after.” “How does that one work?” “Well, traditionally it requires a proposal.”

LOVEmber Day 14: Alice

“To Alice.” “So when's her first flight?” “A couple of days, if I can round up all the parts I need. You want to come with me?” “Sure there's room?” “It'll be a tight squeeze.” “We'll manage.”

…the almost-kiss.
