Summary
THEN:
At the height of the Dominion War, a Starfleet officer is kidnapped while examining an anomaly in the Gamma Hyperion system. Mistaken for a defector and dragged into another galaxy to face trial, Commander Diane Chester finds herself in the midst of a Galactic Republic of terrifying size and crumbling democracy, defended by an army of genetically-modified soldiers and psychic generals with seemingly unlimited mental powers. Aided by Jedi Master Plo Koon, Chester’s first duty is to get home and to her ship–but survival alone may be difficult enough.NOW:
In the horrific wake of Order 66, a badly injured Plo Koon stakes his survival on one last desperate hyperspace jump, to a mysterious anomaly that might offer hope for him–and for what little remains of the Jedi Order. For the newly-minted Captain Diane Chester, Plo’s arrival is confirmation of all her fears. Now, she’s got to keep the Empire’s grubby hands off the Alpha Quadrant with only one ship, one Jedi, and that greatest Starfleet tradition–a hell of a lot of showmanship.Series

Summary
Leave becomes deadly peril when a figure from Lt. Commander Piper Hawthorne's past resurfaces--the mysterious officer whose takeover of his engineering project back in the war heralded the explosion that killed his team and left him half-dead. An officer he is sure is part of a parasite within Starfleet. A parasite he is certain Captain Diane Chester of the Interpreter is also complicit in.
Meanwhile, Chester wakes up to a mysterious intruder in her quarters, offering her a secret mission of the utmost importance to the Federation, a mission full of the spycraft and intrigue right out of her favorite holonovels...

Summary
“You cannot mean,” says Tanek abruptly, “to expect me to believe that that is anything but a warship. Even if I had not seen its specifications–what little Starfleet saw fit to make available to your allies–I would not believe that was a vessel meant for peaceful exploration. I am not blind.”
Well, at least he’s making conversation. “The Armistice-class was built to be warships, yes,” Captain Chester says. “It doesn’t mean they have to remain warships.”
The Romulan liaison officer huffs, like an affronted cat. “Why would you not use something so evidently purpose-built for a lesser aim?”
“Because it’s not a lesser aim,” she says, and starts walking again.Series

Summary
Conversations with Christopher Pike during the Menagerie, and on Talos IV afterwards.

"You know, there are some things you never really lose from being a test pilot. Being able to get into the cockpit of a new ship and figure it out quick, get something moving at full impulse and have it feel like it’s an extension of yourself in - a day. But after what happened…” he shakes his head slightly. “It’s like trying to fly a ship I don’t know, that’s not like anything I’ve flown, but the ship is filled with…”
“Fire and smoke.”
“Yes.”

“Why should I force myself through unnecessary pain just to fit? To interact with the world in a way someone else considers real and correct? I’m happy.” She shakes her head. “I don’t need to walk through their world in pain just to have them look at my body with pity. My body - that’s not my self. My body walking away from here, through another world, onto your ship, even - that’s not what makes me present. It doesn’t mean I can be myself there.”
-
“Maybe it doesn’t have to be a choice between limited interaction in our world full of pain,” Una continues, “or less pain here but interaction that’s … limited differently. We can change it."

You're Just a Little Boy by squireofgeekdom for SevereAnnoyance

Summary
‘There is nothing wrong with you. No hidden monster inside’ Neera's voice tells you again.
If what's inside you isn't a monster -
‘You're just a little boy’
You have come face to face with him now, haven’t you? And -
He was just a little boy. A little boy with the capacity for terrible actions. But still just a little boy.
‘You were just born with a capacity for actions, good or ill. Just like the rest of us.’
If Neera was right, what had you been holding down, keeping sedated all this time?
What had you been living like this for?
‘It's how they make us feel. They look down at us for so long that we begin to look down at ourselves.’
You were the problem. Are the problem. You have to be.
