One of the things that has always puzzled me about some Voyager shipping, is shipping Naomi Wildman with Icheb. I know it might be because the future adult actors were in the same scene together but...
Why Icheb???
In a Voyager fic where the story time jumps to the future, Naomi is almost always paired up with Icheb and I just don't see it.
Mezoti is a better candidate than Icheb to pair Naomi with. I know I know Shattered happened after Mezoti was offloaded with the twins. Still, Voyager was cut into different time sections, and possible futures. It could happen!

30 Days of Prodigy - Day 30: Boldly Go
On the bridge of the USS Voyager-A, Commander Tysess stood to attention as the turbolift doors slid open to reveal the ship’s commanding officer.
“Vice Admiral on the bridge!” he announced, prompting the other officers on the bridge to stop their work and follow suit.
Kathryn Janeway nodded to her crew as she emerged onto the bridge. “Thank you, Commander, as you were,” she ordered and the bridge immediately became a hive of activity once again. Kathryn loved this part of a mission - the buzz of excitement as everyone went through their final preparations for launch, the anticipation of what would come next, and welcoming her carefully selected crew to their new home. She began her tour of the bridge at the Ops station, just to the left of the ‘lift.
“Ensign Icheb,” she said warmly, placing a hand on the ex-borg’s shoulder, “it’s good to see you. Welcome aboard.”
Despite the years of history between them - or perhaps because of them - the young ensign was determined to display the utmost professionalism and so he nodded sharply and replied, “Thank you, Admiral, glad to be here,” and then returned to analyzing the status readings on his screen. “Everything appears on track for an on time launch,” he added.
One last pat on the shoulder and Kathryn was moving along to greet the rest of the crew. The bridge was a bit more crowded than usual, due to the presence of a large number of trainees who would be joining this mission. She had requested several jump seats be installed along the back wall of the bridge to accommodate observers and she stopped there now to welcome her warrant officers aboard.
“Well, are you ready for your first official Starfleet mission?” she asked them.
They all answered at once, their voices overlapping gleefully:
“Yes, Admiral.”
“Ready, Admiral!”
“Yes, Vice Admiral Janeway.”
“Jankom Pog is ready… er, yes, Admiral.”
and of course, a few chirps from Murf.
She smiled at the ragtag group, despite herself. They may not be Starfleet officers - yet - but what they lacked in official knowledge and experience, they more than made up for in enthusiasm.
Kathryn continued on her tour, freely offering welcoming smiles to crew members old and new.
She even afforded a tight-lipped smile at her new head of security, the only member of the crew that she had not hand-picked for this mission. Commander La’an Noonien-Singh seemed extremely competent, if a bit cold. But Janeway still resented the fact that Temporal Investigations had seen fit to place one of their own on her bridge. Even if they were going to be dealing with time travel on this mission. And even if she did have a bit of a reputation where such things were concerned.
Finally, Kathryn reached her command chair. She lowered herself down reverently and ran her hands over the arms of the chair before allowing herself to relax into the backrest and cross one knee over the other.
Commander Tysess stood to the left of her with his hands behind his back and she gestured for him to begin systems checks. (The one thing she really didn’t like about this new class of ships was the fact that the command chair sat all alone in the middle of the bridge. She missed being able to lean over and share the odd observation with her first officer at any time.)
As each station reported in, Kathryn gripped the arms of her chair, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath. Here we go again, she thought. She opened her eyes and looked towards the tall blond pilot sitting at the conn. “Mr. Paris, is the course laid in?” He was the best pilot she knew, and after her last helmsman turned out to be an undercover saboteur, Kathryn was doubly glad to have Tom Paris at the helm of her ship now.
“Yes ma’am,” he drawled with a cheeky smile.
“Let’s do it.”
