I got really cranky after reading the "Depressing fic" category in a Christmas fic contest. This bit of parody was the result, or at least the opening.

A Captain's Regrets

Chakotay had invited her to the holodeck last night, as he did from time to time over the years, and as usual she rejected him, reaching into his chest, pulling out his still-beating heart, and stomping on it, cruelly. His dimples smiled at her as she did it. He knew she would come around. Just a couple more years and she would be his.

Janeway regretted treating him this way. She was lonely inside, deep down where she didn't tell anyone, not even herself. She wanted to go on a date with him, but she was just too stubborn, a stick in the mud, set in her ways, bull headed, inflexible, and just plain stubborn. As the Captain, she had to follow Starfleet's protocols to the letter - except, of course when acquiring cool technology or interfering in morally suspect cultures, or altering the time stream. But where fraternization protocols were involved she was resolute, unrelenting, and unwavering - except, of course for non-bridge crew, but not senior officers, except for the Helmsmen and Chief Engineer, but that was different...
