That was so engrossing I didn't even review the individual pieces. I'd like to read more in the story of Dax...

I should like to see more of this-you still have 199 years to cover.

199 years? Wow. And so Dax lives...to foster hope, and a Rebellion.

A poignant scene. A touching end to this series of ficlets but also an immensely rewarding piece for the author and to bring a greater insight into your universe and show some of the pieces of the missing timeline and of course fill in some of the gaps of Dax's life.
This is a fantastic series of ficlet for this reason but this piece alone is worth it all for the simple, refined, deftly handled piece that renders this a moment of serenity, a moment of sadness, a moment of hope and a moment of passing the torch.
With the death of Ezri we feel we lose one of the last links back to the fall of the Federation but with the continued survival of Dax we have an important touchstone with that past. The presence of Data also lends to that sense of history and holding to the past and moving to the future.
Nice tidbits here too about the survival of the Federation in some guise. With Data as a titular leading figure, lending such vital importance to the survival of the Trill symboints as important for the future hope of the Federation.
For all the darkness, the stark fate that befell the Federation and so many of our canon heroes that you end this story on what is not just a rendered beautiful almost death scene but yet we are left with a sense of hope, of swelling pride in our chests (as readers and for Calym) as the call is made to make a brave and important choice.

And there she goes. And the fact that it makes me tear up is an amazing thing. You've written something very special, and I'll never look at her the same way on screen again.

Ah, Data. Good to see him still kicking, still going. But poor Ezri. She dies now but her symbiont lives on. Calym looks to be a good person. I'm wondering how the symbiont goes from him to Haebron ... what led Dax there? This has been a fascinating series to read and I hope you expand upon it more. You've made me like Ezri. That takes skill, sir. Well done.

Beautiful. The torch will be passed, for I have no doubt Calym will rise to the challenge. Data is wise not to force him, and to remind him that knowledge is power, and it's the one thing that can contribute to the rebels' success. A fitting ending to this series of vignettes.

And all fall down. Fantastic collection of stories and this final entry delivered both a death knell but also a hint of hope to come. "Brothers of Man, fighting to survive..."
Very nicely done.

Ah, and the cycle continues!
Let the circle be unbroken.
Well done!

Amazing stuff, filling in so many little gaps and answering so many questions about The Fall. Nicely executed!

Say yes, Calym!
I like this ending. A possible passing of the torch, under circumstances both worse and yet far better than the last time. I hope Calym's up for this.
Great series, CS. Nicely done.

A hopeful ending, in all of the wreckage. I like that Calym is offered the choice where Ezri really wasn't. I like seeing Data being the glue holding together the future. I like that they're hanging on, and I hope they always do.
This is an absolutely brilliant set of stories.
