?? Chakotay Captained a ship with a hologram of his ex-girlfriend ex-Captain serving as his first officer? That's so deranged, I support it.

Man i sweeeeeaaaaar i had a post about philippa working with boothby in his roses while she’s in starfleet academy but IDK WHERE IT WENT GIRL HEEEEEEELP (i swear i also had like, some vague idea posts about the triplets,,, but i cant seem to find them by searching anymore lol they’d be hella buried) ILL REHASH............ 
(i just wanna say too like w/e i write isnt Law,,,, Alice has her own ideas,,, i have mine,,, u can pick and choose or Simply Ignore lmaO we try to keep this au pretty open to interpret and portray and adapt or w/e)
like like like,,,,,,, i remember the idea vaguely was that peppa stumbled through academy life, things didnt come naturally to her ever, she had a HOT HEAD and would pick fights with other students, and janeway and chakotay would be struggling to figure out what to do with her, and either chakotay suggests boothby or boothby inserts himself into the equation and gets peppa to begin leveling herself out emotionally by getting her to garden with him in his roses during her spare time :) inevitably philippa ends up pursing the medical field (with great influence from Tom who’d likely have suggested it to her after tending to some of her wounds from her most recent scrap, given is own background in the field while aboard Voyager) and becomes a combat medic.
peppa ends up being the one to successfully achieve command through a unique set of circumstances leaving her as the ranking officer of a small crew (likely after her captain falls victim to their wounds...... ive toyed with the idea that there’d have been a “trust no one” conspiracy surrounding these events and the captain, choosing to put their faith in Philippa rather than other personnel outranking her, grants her an “active captain” status which she begrudgingly accepts) it’s a rough idea though which i dont anticipate getting to effectively explore haha
peppa gets along with all of her parents except Kathryn who i think experiences great difficulty in both relating to and understanding her daughter. unfortunately peppa has always craved her attention and approval, often getting overshadowed by her sister. but she’s always been driven by this need to succeed and stand out (despite rarely achieving this) for her mother. peppa loves black coffee but she drinks tea out of spite ‘cause she knows it bothers her mother if only slightly
amelia on the other hand finds solace in her mother’s holodeck programming of leonardo da vinci (though shed never admit to its usage), where she goes to confess her difficulties in maintaining the facade of interest in pursuing command for the sake of impressing her mother, being the golden child of the three. she tells him of her fascination for stories of adventure and her deep yearning to explore the unknown. she ends up wiping the hologram’s memories of whatever truths she’d confess to him and consequently she lives in this rather repressed state of not being able to admit to herself what she really wants. 
amelia is very much the apple of her mother’s eye, she’s a bit of a perfectionist, naturally exceeds at tasks, does tennis, is great at science, and has her eyes set on command. those are at least the attributes she more outwardly displays about herself; in actuality she has a passion for reading that was nurtured into her at a very young age by kathryn, tom, and chakotay, a knack for cartography she rarely has the change to indulge in (again thank you Riley i’m kissing your brain), a crippling fear of failure, a strong distaste for coffee despite drinking it frequently, and a has deep need to break free of her responsibilities and expectations.
ideally i always imagined amelia and philippa would eventually swap uniform colors. where philippa ends up becoming a starfleet captain and amelia sets her eyes on exploration and discovery underneath the science/astronomy belt. 
edward learns about about spirituality and anthropology underneath his father chakotay. he begins his studies while in starfleet academy, but inevitably chooses to walk his own path in the outlying reaches of space where he can interact with and better observe alien cultures without the lingering presence of Starfleet looming over him. he lives a very minimalistic life while aboard his own vessel during his travels between planets, rarely carrying anything more than the basic essentials. if anything he’d be a collector of relics/artifacts/culturally significant trinkets gifted to him through his many interactions. 
i loved in @and-to-you-its-just-words’ fic establishing that edward has a preference for communicating through the chirps and clicks of their hyperevolved language, i like to think that’d inevitably lead into him having this natural ability to pick up languages relatively quickly without the aid of a comm badge. he likely started in the academy learning linguistics and anthropology to refine his skills. eventually he found this format to be too slow and unsuitable a way to learn about societies and consequently he’d go for a more hands-on approach outside of starfleet regulations, though he maintains many of the rules he’d become accustom to living under for so long.
as a kid edward was very shy and clung to his mother; while she found his seemingly unwarranted attachment toward her a little disconcerting at first, it’s something she grew to become very fond of as he aged. she experienced an immense amount of heartache when he’d inevitably choose to not only leave starfleet but also to explore the vastness of the universe’s reaches outside of their ability to remain in consistent contact with each other.
