Haha! This is humour perfectly played. Spot on characterisations too.

This is so just right. It is warm old comfortable slippers to read Be'lanna, Harry and Tom and to have them all in sparkling form in character. What I particularly like is the fact it is in fact a very natural bet that I'd imagine Harry and Tom making years ago. Especially maybe before they got to understand Icheb in a relationship and know Maren. I bet that before Maren, there wasn't much of a chance Icheb having a relationship, which is one reason why throwing up rebound B'Elanna comment works so fittingly. Also, once Icheb gets into the relationship more and it looks like lasting, after a time, I'd imagine Tom wouldn't have made so callous a bet. And poor Harry, the fact he takes a bet but doesn't find love, that's heart breaking really. But wonderful all over.

Yay, Voyager crew! Great to see Tom, Harry and B'Elanna again and to get a glimpse into how they would feel about this timeline. So are we going to see Harry pay up in these ficlets or are you going to cut us off before we walk down the aisle? Either way, can't wait to see what happens next!

Better hurry up there, Harry ole sport!
I love how the relationship was the subject of a wager.

I can't see Icheb's having a successful romantic relationship while Harry remains unwillingly single NOT being a topic of some gossip and amusement on the part of the VOY crew.
Besides, Harry is just such an easy target.

Now this is giving me jitters. Not married yet? I don't like this kind of foreshadowing. Could anything derail this train of perfect happiness? If this were a regular Tesseract story, I'd say, more probable than not. But not here, this is a happy-go lucky AU. Surely everything will be just fine.

I'm genuinely concerned about you, CeJay -- I seem to have scarred you for life.
Not everything in this universe is perfect, but the idea is to give the kids a shot at happiness. Harry's just trying to convince himself he still has time to win the bet. Not likely, Mr. Kim.

I LOLed so hard at this. A beautiful rendering of the dynamics between classic VOY stars. Tom was on full diplay and he was great. Great and funny entry, it's gonna be tough to beat.
