Fic Feature Friday

Thanks to @the-last-dillpickle for the idea and @hellostuffedtiger for reminding me!

I went digging in my bookmarks and found this fic by @delicatetrashstranger from November 2020 (almost exactly 3 years ago, in fact):

It's the first fic in a series about Garak and Bashir discussing literature, and all of them are gorgeously written and psychologically insightful.

This Year's Christmas Fic - AKA Starting Christmas in July a Lil' Early

Okay, so it's a tradition in my family to start thinking about Christmas shortly after the Summer Solstice.

I was going to wait until July, but then I realized that it is indeed already July in certain parts of the world. So heck it.

I always (and by always, I mean since I started writing fanfic about them) write a Garashir Christmas fic.

This year will (hopefully) be no different.

Send me your thoughts (but please not your prayers) on what elements you'd like to see in this year's DS9 Christmas Fic!

For reference, past years:

🎄 Christmas 2022: Meet Me Under the Mistletoe

🎄 Christmas 2023: The Present Plot

Like we say here in my house, "It's never too soon to start plotting and planning for Christmas."

Glory to you and your house! May your halls be decked (Lower Decks! Lower Decks!) and your targs be tame.

this art is sooooo cute oh my goodness!

also i will be checking out this fanfic ahhhh

a little illustration for my fic I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch) in which garak thinks he has to go on a diet but actually all he does is eat tasty food and play tennis (falling in love) with dr bashir (current rating: t)

[tinyfaust]

I just read an excellent fic yesterday wherein the author fully invented a whole Romulan novel just for Julian and Garak to talk about. Being as invested as I was, I commented on the fic letting the author know how interested I was in an expansion of their ideas of Romulan history or more details about the fictional novel itself.

This beautiful fucking human being replied to be WITH A WHOLE FUCKING ESSAY DETAILING THE PLOT OF THE NOVEL AND THEIR HEADCANONS ON ROMULAN CULTURE IN REGARDS TO ITS INFLUENCE ON THIS FAKE FUCKING NOVEL!!

Im devastated this novel will never exist! I need it so badly! But also like. Star Trek fans? Nobody is doing it like they are. They’re fucking crazy (affectionate). They’re inventing whole cultures, art forms, books, paintings, people, etc.. They’re creating whole Tolkien-esque worlds for a 4k fanfic about a fucking pretty boy doctor and his gay ass lizard homie.

Comment on fics besties! Comment on fics!! Whole worlds of information are waiting to be infodumped on you if you just make it known you liked their work! Everything is yours IF YOU JUST COMMENT ON FICS 💖💖💖💖

Garak lying to a dying Tain that there was no one there but them, and letting Julian be there for Tain’s Shri-tal, was the moment Garak devoted himself to Julian. He told Julian (in a Cardassian way Julian didn’t know at the time probably) that Tain’s death meant he, Garak, was choosing to give his entire being to Julian. Garak lied to Tain — the man he was trained to follow and take orders from since childhood for the protection of Cardassia — as an act of untethering himself to the man, and a bit of Cardassia too. He knew he would be free after that, and he took the initiative of devoting himself to Julian, so he would not have to suffer being without a chain/anchor in the ocean of space for long —even IF he wouldn’t be that lost for long and knew he’d be with Julian soon enough once back on DS9. He was exiled from his home and losing the only other source of direction, but he chose to take the leap and be/have Julian as his new holder. And being with the man he found himself in love with was just his own personal win.

felix knightly, julian's much-mentioned friend felix, comes to the station, and he's this dashing and effete and supremely successful older human man. he wears excellent fabrics and dedicates his life to constructing beautiful fictions.

he calls julian darling and sweetheart all the time. he speaks often of how they met - something about old hardcover books and competitive bidding in a san francisco auction house for history and literature lovers.

so it went: a long chat that turned to a long night haunting bars, showing this bright young thing the best old spots in the city, where real bands play real songs, history clings to the walls and a holoprogrammer could see nearly into the past, the future, the heart of things.

we walked the bridge with dawn on our shoulders, spent the night without losing reasons to keep talking together, and i knew this was a very special young man i had just befriended, he says.

and julian bashir, chief medical officer, war-tried and brave, looks at him through his lashes, a little bit twenty and awe-struck at being liked still.

felix speaks often about how so much of the reliable realism in his holonovels depends on having his own clever doctor to give him accurate medical information. how his gifts of custom-made programs are nothing, barely anything in comparison to the pleasure of making sweet julian enjoy himself in his intervals between wonderful adventures and admirable medical work.

he is flighty and shameless and self-satisfied and he never fails to make julian flush and brighten - something flickering open around his eyes.

he kisses the back of his hands, and plays with his hair. as if it easy and natural; as if he should be allowed always to lay a hand on julian's shoulder, and smile down at him with a conspiratorial look.

it would be easier, perhaps, if it were more sordid. but they tease each other endlessly, argue like old friends, there is history between them and not only old infatuation.

to watch him is to see an image repeated. there is the twist of the wrist doctor bashir does, the way he raises his chin and picks a glass with elegance and flirts relentlessly, as he himself had been flirted with until he relented.

it is clear enough that knightly has been a guiding figure to him, a teacher in some fashion in the arts of playing the gentleman.

a mildly chiding word from him in a specific tone, and julian straightens his back and pays attentions, rethinks his position, eases back the strain in his shoulders, lets himself be challenged, seduced into a proper debate. so perhaps he was the one who taught him that, too; to argue without spite, with wit, brash but not bull-headed.

it is clear enough julian bashir trusts him fully with his fantasies, and does not fear any mockery.

it is clear he is a weak man, a man of vice, an hedonist with no sense of responsibility, who cannot stand to live outside his programs. he drinks prodigiously and gambles recklessly, enjoys the sort of mind-whirling substances the federation permits only in careful dosages -

he is not the one to mention how it was that a medical student came to be well-versed in treating withdrawals, in dealing with hateful words said in dire states. doctor bashir himself, of course, would never breach patient confidentiality. but one may guess; one may assume.

his presence is temporary, he will go away to do research on another singular and distant place, he'll leave his friend behind for the hundredth time and send back a consolation game whenever he remembers he exists at all.

anyone can see it, in the doctor's eyes. he is has been wounded many times, he has been trained well to be expect to be liked but not wanted long.

in unrelated news, garak of garak's clothiers has had to cite complications to explain the delay of his present and forthcoming commissions. several of his needles and sewing machines have taken unexpected tumbles against the floor, and a remarkable amount of his fabric has appeared shredded to rags, almost as if a vole or beast of some sort had laid furious claws on them.

well, so it goes: life is not an holonovel. in real life, sometimes accidents can't be avoided, and mistakes have consequences.

someone ought to remind felix knightly of that, perhaps.

[lady-lazarus-13]

I'm going for a run but as soon as I'm home I'm eating this all up. Ooooh I'm excited.

Better

The Changeling has been observing his mark for years. When Garak proves difficult to deceive he deals with the distraction in the best way he can - in the way Julian might. To take the form of an object is to become it, after all, and he has become Julian Bashir. Only better.

Partially inspired by this piece by Kaphkas, which I've used (with permission) for the cover illustration.

I wrote this in 4 days? I was inspired by this post. I think it's good, but kind of dark. Brace yourself. OH! Also, I headcanon that the shirt Julian wears in Season 3, Episode 10 was given to him by Garak. It makes an appearance in this fic.

[schattengestalt]

I posted another, short Garashir story. 🥰

Enjoy!

Summary:

Julian joins Garak in their garden.

"It takes time and effort to bring a garden to bloom. It’s not something started lightly, only to then be abandoned and left to die."

Elim Garak's Worst Mission

Teen and Up, M/M, Cold War AU, Action, Spies & Secret Agents, Garashir

A space ship with technology unknown to the USA military crashes in Area 51. Onboard there is an odd passenger - scaled, ridged, entirely reptilian and entirely dangerous.

Doctor Julian Bashir (a medical doctor, speculative biologist and somewhat of an alien enthusiast) gets called to the scene. It's the thing he wanted the most his entire life - but is it really a dream come true, or is it a Russian plot to destroy America?

Garak is having a horrible time.

Part of the fic series The Spy Who Came In From the Cold

Fic summary: Dr. Lewis Zimmerman comes to Deep Space 9 to immortalize Dr. Julian Bashir as a Long-Term Medical Hologram, and all Garak needs to do is be honest in an interview about his acquaintance with Bashir – but not too honest. Then Dr. Bashir’s parents arrive, and Garak is caught in the turmoil that upends his lover’s life. It turns out Bashir is better at keeping a secret than Garak ever gave him credit for…

Chapter summary: Julian has just shared with Garak his greatest secret -- that he was genetically modified as a child -- and they continue to discuss everything that means for them.

wip list but just the names, then people can ask about which interests them most.

My friend, the names are usually what come last for me, at least.

I used to be notoriously bad at naming things. I mean, for Heaven's sake, I named my dog after a pastry! I've since gotten slightly better at naming things, but truly, not by much.

WIP #1: filed under the heading of "Garak teaches Julian how to have slow sex"

Favorite line so far: “My dear doctor, as much as I appreciate your youthful enthusiasm in these matters, may I make a suggestion?”

WIP #2: Garashir tailor!shop fic

Favorite line so far: He could feel Garak’s breath on his bare skin, and it was unbearably difficult to stop from turning away. He could feel heat building in the space between them, and he was sure Garak could, too.

WIP #3: Missing scene fic where Garak finds out Julian is augmented

Favorite line so far: “Of course, I’ve heard,” Garak shot back. “It’s been a week, Julian. You’d be hard-pressed to find someone who hasn’t heard the news. I was just… Hoping to find out from you.” Garak didn’t sound angry, just disappointed, and that was infinitely worse.

Ahem some of these may have been 'in progress' for a while and may or may ever get finished, but if you have a preference for which gets my attention first I'm all ears! Like a Ferengi!

Thanks, as always, for the ask! I love getting asked stuff. 💖
