Summary
The choices we make, or others make for us, change who we become. Or do they?
Julian Bashir was meant to be a doctor. But when his augment status nearly comes to light at Starfleet Academy, he pivots—quietly, strategically—into engineering, hiding among Starfleet's remote outposts. His latest assignment: a contested Class-P planet, where the days stretch to 27 hours and the company is limited to a handful of observers… including one Garak. Charming. Cryptic. Dangerous?
Cut off from the rest of the galaxy by atmospheric interference, Julian finds himself navigating more than the frigid planet surface. As he and Garak find themselves in close quarters—and closer conversations—the outpost begins to fail. Hidden agendas surface, and a fragile alliance may be the only thing standing between survival and ruin.
A ‘butterfly flaps its wings’ AU where Julian and Garak cross paths years before the events of DS9.

"So," Garak said. "You're a much better liar than I gave you credit for."
"And that bothers you?"
"Oh, not at all." There was a familiar gleam in his eye. "No, I'm just curious how you managed it."Or, the cybernetics AU

Summary
It’s a poor pretense, stepping out onto the terrace to get some air. It’s a poor pretense, but it works, because Julian follows him outside not five minutes later. He looks handsome in his abominable Starfleet dress whites, tugging at the bottom of his jacket, a touch of silver hair at his temples. He moves differently now, a kind of surety in his long limbs that didn’t exist before.
It’s been a long time.
