Summary
Elim spoke quietly, as if not to wake him, "Of all the mercies I have been granted, it is your presence I feel I deserve the least."
Julian didn't stir, but looked over towards the high-set windows filtered in red darkness, feigning sleep as he lay facing away from his partner, solely cloaked by the wet heat of a summers night."And when they ask, how I betrayed her for you, I see you here, bathed in her light. I ask if your enjoinment to her betrays me, for you are not derelict of duty to her sands, nor do you shy away from her love." Julian let his eyes shut, let the words wash over him.
He had three hours before he had to be up for work, anyhow.
"You wrench out all the emotions I can give, and yet you deserve more. A pity."

Summary
Coming off of the Wire, Elim Garak does his best to stay sober. But while his eidetic mind thrashes all of his memories into a tailspin, he grapples with his ability to be completely sober.
Who is he without a person to do everything for? Can he be himself without addiction, without the silent praise of a lord? Without Enabran, without Julian?
He's not addicted to his friends presence in his life, he can go without him, and will. After all, he can't stop hallucinating him, therefore Julian isn't gone between their lunches.
Can he truly be sober when he cannot measurably consume anything?
And how many hours until the next lunch, 128, no no, it's 124.7 now. When, when, when can I see him again?

Summary
Many losses did indeed lay at Tain's feet, but Tain never asked him to do such directly. The rift between him and Kelas was his to sit in, was carved by his own hands. If he hadn't—
No.
Thinking like that wouldn't do.
Two beautiful men with greyed hair stood in front of him, past and present loves. And yet, all he could feel was pain. Was this the pretty, 'young thing' Bashir fancied? He couldn't blame either of them for finding a suitable, kind, attractive partner. They worked together, and there definitely had been ample time for such attachments to grow.
Julian turned to him, and Elim caught the look in his eyes, the redness in his scleras. Doctor Bashir had been crying, was this because of him? Elim felt lost, thrown into the abyss without a rope.
And then it hit him.

I Want a Man With a Short Skant and a Long Jacket (A Post-Canon Cardassia Fic) by CodenameCarrot

Summary
Doctor Julian Subatoi Bashir, Lieutenant, shouldn’t have been in charge of the Federation Relief Effort. But here he was: briefing volunteers, dispensing energy credits, arranging marriages, and trying to meet up with Garak for a literary flirtation over a private meal. (There was no such thing as a private meal with Garak but Julian was getting used to the security drones and the paparazzi.)
He had everything under control - for most definitions of control - when Admiral Jellico arrived to relieve him. And while Jellico’s leadership style might not have been a great fit for the relief effort, it was 100% what Julian needed to enact an over-the-top bid to get his lizard.
Or: the the one where...
Julian accidentally encouraged a generation to take up recreational swimming, forced a planet-wide revision of the public decency laws, and then made it up to Garak by recreating the most famous scene from the Cardassian Union’s most pirated porn as a public declaration of love.

Summary
Deep Space Nine is hosting its fifth annual Peldor Festival. Garak, still struggling to accept the loss of his own home, despises the sound of joy and celebration. All he wants is to be alone.
He fails to notice how thoroughly the changeling that replaces Bashir deceives him.

The Federation reached its long limbs across the ink of space, unendingly planting itself with shallow roots in a thousand worlds. A Cardassian needed nothing outside of the nourishment of the homeland. They sustained the motherland, and in turn, she sustained them. Humans could not truly know isolation, for should they try hard enough, it seemed they could create a home anywhere, fickle creatures that they were.Bookmarked by GreenVVITCH

An Argument About First Principles by NeurotropicAgentX

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.
