Summary
After a medical conference, Julian returns to his home on Cardassia Prime to find a mysterious message waiting for him. One of the planet's most popular novelists reached out to ask for his help ... and is now lying unconscious in a hospital bed.
Julian is not the sort of man to let a plea for help from a damsel in distress go unanswered, or a medical mystery go unsolved.
And Garak is not the sort of man to let his spouse go running off into danger alone.
Their search for answers will take them to a distant planet, where they'll search for clues among legends, ghost stories, and tales told in the aftermath of a revolution. And the stakes are higher than they could ever have imagined.

Summary
Julian had always longed for adventure. More than that, he’d longed for a desperate adventure, the kind where all the odds were stacked against you, and every step was a struggle, and every breath a victory. He probably would have come to Cardassia even if he hadn’t missed Garak. He hoped that was true. He couldn’t touch it, really, couldn’t scrape the dust away from his thoughts enough to name it, but Garak was different.

Summary
Really, the conflict starts when Julian gets back from his second involuntary trip to the mirror universe. It was a perfectly reasonable decision to help that universe’s Garak gain political asylum in Julian’s universe. He’d helped him escape… broadly. Well, it was more self-interest than altruism, but everyone deserved a chance to better themselves and staying in his own universe would likely have gotten him killed. Definitely Julian’s being objective and his intimate relationship with his universe’s Garak isn’t influencing his decisions at all.
The only thing that stops the two Garaks from killing one another when they first meet is the fact that Julian is literally standing between them and refuses to back down. The Garaks share three things: mutual distrust, the same taste in stubborn and hopelessly optimistic doctors, and an unshakeable conviction that they are in fact the same person.
