Bastard Boyfriend is no longer a trope
Changed line(s) 4 (click to see context) from:
* In the first chapter based on the two-parter ''Equinox,'' we get an indication that B'Elanna was actually afraid of her ex-boyfriend and current ''Equinox'' first officer Maxwell Burke. When Burke approaches her in the mess hall she grips Tom tightly enough to hurt him. Why is never explained, and in the same chapter she suddenly seems okay being alone with him on the upper level of engineering. If the author meant to imply that Burke had been a BastardBoyfriend, it fails to come across.

** It's not that uncommon for someone to realize that an idea is good and obvious when they hear it, despite not hearing it before.

** Admittedly, a Doyalist reason might be that a similar thing happened in the actual episode- they set up a past history between Burke and Torres, but that was forgotten by the second episode.

* A number of comments on both the FanFiction.net and Archive Of Our Own versions of this story come from people who think the Seven/Samantha pairing (sometimes referred to as [[PortmanteauCoupleName Sam7]]) makes perfect sense. So how come so far no sign exists that anyone shipped these two prior to Part 1 of ''A Fire of Devotion'' being posted on FFN in 2015, more than 14 years after ''Voyager'' went of the air?

* So, the author retcons Samantha Wildman to be pansexual. And she dates (and later marries) a former Borg drone. And at no point throughout the entire 4 part, almost 400,000 word fics does the author think to have Ensign Wildman utter some variation on the line "Gender is irrelevant?"
