as I'm going through A Stitch in Time still, and still on part 1 (I think about ch20) I wonder if it'll draw parallels as all between Palendine and Bashir. at moments I feel like it's hinting that parallel but it hasn't made that yet so I'm curious

I mean, Garak is clearly enamoured with Palendine which is very fun to see, it's sweet, so I wonder if they'll translate that with Bashir

Post DS9, Garak does one last spy mission for Cardassia, just doing some reconaissance at some big event where he's expected to retrieve a cache of intel Cardassia has decided it needs.

As he approaches the intelligence cache he becomes aware he's not alone - other agencies are there and closing in on him.

He ends up face to face with Julian and Miles. Miles is there for Starfleet Intelligence, Julian is there against his will for Section 31. They didn't know either of the other two were going to be there too. They're all pointing phasers at each other. Then they're arguing. Then they're bickering. Then they decide "fuck it, in the spirit of co-operation let's share the intel between the Federation and the new Cardassia".

Garak has never been so turned on in his life.

Julian getting a little too enthusiastic in the gym after everybody finds out he's an augment.

He's never been able to actually push himself while working out in public before, he's always had to hold back to avoid attracting too much attention. So, horrific and traumatic as it was to have his secret revealed like that, to hold on to his career and his life and everything he cares about by the skin of his teeth, there are things he's looking forward to now, things he just couldn't do before.

All of which adds up to Julian in the gym at 0500, figuring out his absolute max deadlift, dropping it down to his 90% and doing set after set until he simply can't lift it anymore. It takes fucking ages, he's even stronger than he expected, and he's having such a good time...

Until about two hours later, right at the start of his shift, when he feels himself start to stiffen up. He tries to push through it, tries to just keep moving and get rid of all the lactic acid that's building up in his glutes, but there's only so much you can do when you've put your body through that and by lunch time, he's locked in a chair in his office and he doesn't think he can stand up anymore, actually.

Which, of course, is when Garak shows up to ask if he still wants to have lunch. And Julian would really like to say yes, but if he can't even stand up then walking to the Replimat is right out, so he just tells Garak that he's got to catch up on some research, actually, and can they take a rain cheque? And he adds his most charming smile for good measure, but now Garak is just *looking* at him, one of those inscrutable looks, with his eyes squinted and his head tilted to the side.

"My dear doctor, are you quite alright?"

And Julian could just tell him! He could just say 'no, actually, I worked out far too hard and now I can't actually stand up to go and get the muscle regenerator I would need to fix it, let alone to join you for lunch!' But that would require *admitting* that he'd overdone it, which of course is exactly what Garak warned him about that morning as he was leaving their quarters at 0430. 'Don't push yourself too hard, my dear, genetically engineered or not, human spines are simply structurally inadequate in some respects..."

And of course he was right, and of course Julian can't let him *know* he was right, and so they're at a stalemate. And Garak just keeps *looking* at him, and then he walks into the room and around the desk and he just stands there, looking down at Julian until Julian is just like "...yes?" And Garak's like, "oh, I just thought I would give you a kiss, since you can't join me. Because of your research." And Julian's like "...okay?" And Garak's just like "so why don't you stand up so I can kiss you properly?" And Julian knows he's fucked but of course he can't admit it so he just stares at Garak until Garak starts smiling and says "you can't, can you?"

And that's how Garak ends up carrying Julian out of the infirmary in the middle of the day to drop him in an Epsom salt bath while he lectures him on the importance of *moderation*, my dear, you really must learn *moderation*

happy wet man wednesday new year

i genuinely never see this guy sit normally ever

Based on Cardassian views on the medical profession (female dominated) and arguing (whore behavior), I think Dukat should have been scandalized to have an alien twink doctor get snippy with him in order to get a blood screening from him.

"And I find you offensive." Okay, here's my arm, man. Whatever you say, beautiful. But I have a wife.

[spacetwinkuk]

kukalaka, i love you
