    Summary

    It’s genuinely very handy being the only endotherm on a planet populated entirely by ectotherms. Except for when it causes misunderstandings. Misunderstandings that could have been easily avoided if someone had simply explained things before they got to this point, Garak.

    Summary

    Somehow, across the multiverse, the fates of Julian Bashir and Elim Garak were intertwined - usually in friendship, but sometimes in marriage. Dr Bashir wasn’t sure what the lesson was, but it felt like important information. It was a comfort, at least, to know getting along with Garak was universally common. Love, much less so, but was that not still important?

    (Or, how one Medical Hologram defies the odds and fell in love with one Dr Elim Garak)

    Summary

    And now the story of a wide-eyed doctor and a grumbling engineer who just couldn't seem to resolve their own overwhelming mutual romantic tension, and the one wife who had to resort to schemes to bring them all together.

    An examination of scenes from a variety of episodes, and some extrapolation.

    Summary

    For a moment, Garak’s heart leapt. He imagined a tall, thin figure emerging, perhaps dressed in Starfleet Medical gray and blue, or perhaps wearing civilian clothing. He imagined him saying, I got your letter, and I couldn’t stay away any longer. Did you mean what you said?

    The door opened. The figure that emerged was short and clad in the red of the Bajoran militia, with a bag slung across her shoulder.

    “Colonel Kira,” Garak said. “This is an unexpected surprise. To what do I owe the pleasure?”

    Kira didn’t return his smile. “We need to talk, Garak. It’s about Julian.”

    ***

    After the war, Section 31 comes after Julian. Someone really should have alerted Garak sooner, but now that he knows, he's not letting him go without a fight. Neither is Miles, Kira, or Jake, for that matter.

    Summary

    In the months after the incident with the Wire, Garak's weakened body is still giving him some trouble. Julian still insists upon helping him.

    Aka If I had a nickel for every gay coded morally grey middle aged man who logically should have an absolutely fucked immune system that the show he's in doesn't address, who I've gotten a bit obsessed with, I'd have only two nickels but it's weird that it happened twice.
