#garashir fanfiction

[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."

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.

somewhere out there, andrew robinson and alexander siddig are looking thoughtful and typing "how much did unification cost, asking for a friend"

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.

I just read on Instagram that someone and their partner 'let AI write fanfiction about Garashir just to see how their relationship could evolve' and I'm like

I have a headache. Do people actually begin to forget that fanfiction archives exist?

once or twice a month I get an ask about why I make all my fanfic main characters (Bilbo Baggins, Harry Potter, Julian Bashir (Bashir x Garak not posted yet)) curly haired. It’s cause I have curly hair and deadass no one has curly hair in fanfic or canon.

I had over a decade (not adopted (yes people ask that)) raised by people with straight hair, and having to unlearn and relearn how to care for my hair. So yea, I put a bit of myself into it. That’s why.

Curly hair is a time commitment and it matters. Even if your hair is wavy, it’s something worth committing towards in terms of time and experimentation with products.

i adore in fics when people find out about julian’s enhancements and then julian lets down his guard and people can see an actual a change, like suddenly there’s something unfamiliar about him? something much deeper and mature? not because everything about julian before the revelation has been a SHAM or anything, i just like the idea of all these intelligent people having totally underestimated julian, the young, naive doctor, when really julian’s been one step ahead of them the whole time, letting them see him a certain way. the concept of others finally getting to see they had the wrong idea, especially back when they sort of saw julian as somewhat less than, the whole time. it’s about that moment of oh. he’s been the smartest guy in the room the whole time. them suddenly not seeing naivety, but seeing power. that. i like that.

I watched DS9 and that's the result of it: my first Garashir story. 😉

It won't be the last. 😁

Summary:

Julian and Garak are stuck in a turbolift.

The Honest Man’s Lie: Chapter 6

Fandom: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

Ship: Julian Bashir/Elim Garak

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.

(The link preview wasn’t displaying properly so I just did this.)

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. 💖

Good morning! It's a beautiful day to wake up and write angsty gay fanfiction!

[comic-sans-chan]

obsessed with julian asking "what did they do to you? is it some kind of punishment device?" in the wire because my god if this man didn’t go from "this is garak my super cool spy pal who i go on secret missions with and sometimes fuck teehee but also yeah his planet’s kinda fucked up and he’s got some weird ideas but we’re working on it" to "this is garak he's my precious little angel babyman who has been horribly traumatized and brainwashed by his government but it's okay because i'm a doctor and i will fuck and suck the fascism out of him if it’s the last thing i do" in just two years. shit's wild

[ladyylavenderrr]

The garashir porn is gonna be truly incredible when you have to start looking up stuff like this before writing it

[charlesemersonwinchesteriii]
