(Julian barges into Garak’s shop.)
Julian: What the hell did you do?”
Garak: Good afternoon, doctor.
Julian: Don’t you ‘good afternoon’ me! What did you do to Sarina?
Garak: Whatever do you mean?”
Julian: She came to me half dead from poison.
Garak: Only half dead?
Julian: This is serious! She could have died!
Garak: My dear, you shouldn’t sell yourself so short.
Julian: Poison, Garak! You poisoned her.
Garak: On the contrary, I gave her a nice cup of tea after she came into my shop worried sick about seeing you again. If that tea made it so that she had to confront her fears a little sooner than she had planned, then all the better.
Julian: (bracing himself against the shop counter) You can’t go around poisoning my exes. We talked about this.
(Garak laughs.)
Garak: Oh, please, doctor, don’t ascribe to me the petty feelings of jealousy that you might feel upon meeting one of my former flames. A girl came into my shop with a problem and left with a solution. A quite simple solution, I might add, compared to the various plans that she was trying to concoct. Honestly, hanging around Quark’s like a lost pup. Attempting to barge into your quarters.
Julian: Our quarters.
Garak: Whoever’s quarters, doctor. The point of it is that she managed to face her fears and talk to you directly within a few hours of coming here.
Julian: Because you poisoned her.
Garak: With a poison that I knew you could treat.
Julian: And that made her throw up for a good half an hour.
Garak: A not entirely unforeseen bonus.
Julian: It was good to see her again. After the… well…
Garak: (leaning closer to him) You’re welcome.
what if Keiko and/or Miles were once briefly assimilated by the borg and the ever-growing O’Brien polycule is like a trauma response to that?? trying desperately to form their own collective... (ao3 tag: crack treated angstily) — @ectogeo-rebubbles
AU where during/after You Are Cordially Invited, Julian has to embark on an honor-preserving ritual with Martok and Sirella bcuz he slept w Martok in the camp. Maybe the ritual is to give him an honorary place in the House as a mistress. Maybe it’s to officially end the relationship now that Martok is home. Either way, part of it involves a threeway. (Bonus points if they have to snowball cum for symbolic reasons :)) — @the-last-dillpickle
Consider: garashir Jane Eyre AU
Realistically I will not be reading Jane Eyre anytime soon and I think to do this justice I would need to do so. Regardless, I will give you lovelies an idea of how I would do this and perhaps someone looking for @free-ds9-fic-ideas will be inspired.
First, I think this should happen in something closely resembling the Star Trek universe. I have no interest making garashir 1840s English White People, and I am suspicious of anyone who vibes with that. Instead, Julian flees Federation space as he finishes Starfleet academy, either because he thinks he’s been found out as an augment or he actually has been. Maybe his parents die too for extra parallels. Julian has no money (because he lives in the Federation) and no family ties he cares to maintain.
Julian finds himself taking a job as the personal physician to a man living on a far off Cardassian colony, the mysterious Mr. Garak. Julian feels alone in the universe but begins to develop a deep bond with Garak as they argue, discuss literature, play kotra, etc.
In Jane Eyre, Jane thinks Mr. Rochester is going to marry Blanche Ingram. This is a lovely opportunity to introduce Kelas Parmak.
They’re falling in love when um the locked away problem comes into play. I think the person locked in the attic should be Tain. Maybe he made an enemy, or someone else tried to take over the Obsidian Order. Regardless, things went to shit and he needs to be in hiding. Maybe he’s gone senile or acquired some brain damage due to the enemy. Anyway Mad Tain locked away would be my choice.
An alternative to this suggested by @spocksbeanies is that Parmak should be locked away because he went insane when Garak tortured him. Also would be a great choice.
Regardless, Julian and Garak have just confessed their love for each other when this all comes to light. Julian is freaked out, and has moral concerns about Garak’s past. He flees with his small amount of money to somewhere else. I think Ferengi space would be fun. He gets a new job starts making money, maybe cousins and inheritance stuff happens, maybe it’s more found family and profit. Again lots of good options here.
Someone else proposes to Julian and he realizes that despite his better judgement he’s still in love with Garak. He returns to the colony and the fire and the blinding and all that has happened. Cue some nice hurt/comfort and they get together and happily ever after. If we’re going extremely literal, you could end with some Julian mpreg.
Also, and I feel strongly about this… The title is Julian Eyre.
Julian has a Starfleet Medical class reunion back on Earth and he brings his husband Garak along. chaos ensues.
Anonymous asked:
“Fascination” but from Garak’s perspective. Miles O’Brien just happens to be in the area when Lwaxana’s illness affects him
.
Kasidy Yates and Garak become friends during their overlapping 6 months of incarceration in Federation prison.
Fic idea: Remember in “Sons and Daughters” when Dukat has a sexy dress delivered for Kira and she rejects it, and then Dukat regifts it to Ziyal and pretends he had gotten it for her? Picture Kira later seeing Ziyal walking around in that dress and being filled with murderous rage! — @icykalisartblog
Blatant.
Not only was he disgusting, not only did he act as though decency was merely optional, as though it bowed to him- he spat on his daughters ill bestowed love- how he had spat on the life of the planet he oppressed, how he had spat on Ziyal’s mother, and Ziyal.
He was obsessed- with himself and his preening egotism, with his attempted “conquering” of others, of people and things, like a cruel maniac- like a crazed tyrant. He could not just exist as a sentient being, he ground beneath his heels- he
Kira had watched him deny life for far too long- she had watched him with a knife in her hand and fury in her heart- and then with a diplomacy that unfortunately was complete in its definition. She had watched him with Siskos voice in her head- she had let him go free, she had-
And now, his daughter was under his beam of possession. Her glorious smile and sweet soul- and her fury, which Kira had seen and felt-
Her innocence, and the look Kira knew-
Kira loved her, and cherished her as one would cherish a daughter. She’d seen Ziyal- plucky, clever- her heart in glorious defiance to her father, unknowing but strong- an antithesis.
The dress pooled around her ankles- the sway well worn. She looked so proud. The poor girl, who Kira protected- was so- so beautiful. And Kira could not remember being more angry- since the occupation had ended, since she’d heard Maritza laud the death of her people, since-
She burned. With a column of potent anger. And, as she watched, she decided. Dukat would never hurt Ziyal again. Ziyal could not be possessed. She could not be swayed, she could not be turned, a child loyal to her father and stepping into the trap of a despot and an abuser. Kira would do something for her. Kira loved her.
The basic plot of Our Man Bashir but it happens in Odo’s program--a Dixon Hill one that he borrowed from Picard--with Quark in place of Garak. Odo and Quark must find a killer in 1940s Chicago before they strike again and kill any of the characters borrowing their friends’ likeness. — @the-last-dillpickle
y’know how its sometimes done that when a young mother is unwed, her parents raise the kid instead and everyone pretends they’re siblings? AU where that’s commonly done on Cardassia, and Garak was raised by his grandparents. Perhaps Tain still takes an interest? — @the-last-dillpickle
Fic idea: Some of the nonhuman crew members hear Miles playing bed, wed, behead with Julian (just for fun) at Quark’s and some of their alien friends are now more than a little concerned. — @thevanillahorizon
Bodyguard AU (very loosely based on the Whitney Houston film) Former agent Elim Garak is (reluctantly) hired as bodyguard to a Alpha Quadrant rising (tennis? pop? dance? film? ) star Julian Bashir. Someone is stalking/ sending threatening letters to Bashir (can be Sloan, or an OC) and Garak is convinced the young celebrity's manager, Richard Bashir, is involved in some shady backroom deals. Bashir's also hiding a secret: he was augmented as a child by his avaricious father and groomed as a child star (how dark you want to make this is up to you); we can even draw in Jack, Lauren and Sarina as former augmented child stars who were later institutionalized while their families pocketed all their money (think Britney Spears' conservatorship). Requisite scenes of Garak being bewitched by Bashir's beauty etc. They form a bond, start falling in love, shit hits the fan re: Sloan/ Richard Bashir's criminal activities. Garak takes Bashir to a safehouse on Cardassia for a short stint and it's very idyllic; Bashir meets Mila etc. Pining and angst and UST, with an eventual happy ending <3 — @irresistible-revolution
Soulmate AU idea: Bashir freaking out because he has two soulmate marks, he assumes one for Jules and one for Julian, but they each look different and he doesn’t think he’s poly… and he is afraid it might mean either that one of his soulmates will die, or that it’s an issue caused by his enhancements and one or both isn’t “real." It turns out one is for the exiled tailor Garak and the other for the good son and patriot Elim. — @icykalisartblog
Fic idea: Set in a Dungeons and Dragons based universe, there's a Deep Space Nine AU. — @thevanillahorizon
I had an idea for a fic where Bashir is searching alien porn and a new account pops up with Cardassian pics. None of them show the face, but he gets into it and starts making donations or supporting it or whatever, but his money keeps getting refunded.
He discovers it's Garak and becomes worried that he's been doing it for extra money (and is kind of jealous about all the other people viewing it), but it turns out he's the only one who actually ever had access to the pics, and it was just Garak being sneaky.
There's no way I'll ever have time to write this, so feel free to steal the idea!
Fic idea: Quark recently came into the possession of a bunch of seemingly ancient audio file recordings from Earth long before they were warp capable. A majority of them are songs from the early 2000's which he now plays at random in his bar all throughout the week (so he can charge an entertainment fee) — @thevanillahorizon
Fic idea: Julian ends up taking care of a puppy that mysteriously appeared on the station. — @thevanillahorizon
Julian had gotten so used to stealing little moments of tenderness that he had gotten sloppy. He’d kissed Garak in front of everyone in the Defiant mess hall, forgetting that they had to hide their love, forgetting that they weren’t alone.
As he looked around the table at the raktajino mugs frozen halfway up to gaping mouths, Julian knew what he had to do. He had to kiss the rest of them, too. And he had to somehow play it off as a casual, friendly thing. All right, Julian Bashir, secret agent. Time for your trickiest mission yet…
A fic inspired by this post from @irresistible-revolution : "garashir version of that episode where chandler had to kiss all his friends to cover up the fact he and monica are sleeping together.“ (Specifically, in the mess hall of the Defiant, during the war.)
things-renew-themselves
so this is the funniest thing i have ever seen in my life
since you asked for other sitcom ideas - maybe something like this from parks and rec, with julian as leslie, jadzia or miles as ann, garak as ben, and idk maybe sisko as chris? lol
Aww, thank you! I’m so glad you thought it was funny! <3
Hmmmm, intriguing!!! That’s a great scene, I love me some Parks and Rec! Okay, @things-renew-themselves here is how I’d outline a Garashir fic based on that scene (it continues below the cut, because it’s LONG). Also, I’m gonna submit this concept to @free-ds9-fic-ideas for anyone to use in part or in its entirety, bc I don’t feel like writing it up as a fic or working out the finer details, lol!
All right, so obviously the setup is they are out to eat at the Replimat, bantering about literature as usual. In the process of discussing the book they just read, Garak keeps saying how much he loves [whatever he is using as an indirect analogy for Julian]. It’s very Not Subtle, but it still takes a little while for it to click with Julian that yes, Garak definitely loves him.
