Julian Resso used to have a guitar.
He was playing it when his father broke it, a song he'd just started learning, but had the rhythm down. Storming in and snapping the neck of it, saying nothing to his objections, but telling him he would never amount to anything nevertheless. Didn't you want to be a scientist? Then what's with the damn guitar. You're not cut out for either.
He never fixed it, couldn't bear it.
Hasn't played since.
Years have passed since then. He's proved the old man wrong, in every line, every chemical formula. And.. in other ways, too.
He has a new guitar, shiny and fresh. The most thoughtful thing anyone's done; there have been a lot of those. New chance, new start. Never thought he'd pick up another one, but here he is, through no choice of his own. Nosy bastard. But the lines of the frets remind him- guitars can only differ so much- and he has old, unfinished business.
And, when he has a quiet moment to himself, after the confusion and the thank you, after wondering how in the hell the other had put the pieces together and found out, he picks her up and begins to play.
It's been years, but he's pretty sure this is the note he left off on; he wouldn't forget.
One finished song, before the start of many others.

My favorite gif. I never get a chance to use it, so I’m just going to share it.

I love Garak rolling his eyes at Julian's flirting with women in Our Man Bashir because I truly believe that if Julian started laying those moves on him, Garak would explode

Brushes so good a ten minute sketch turns into a four hour painting (in my defense the first half was drawn left handed)
