Exile was certainly dark, but in Julian Bashir's case, it was warm and humid instead of numbingly cold.

Summary
“Garak,” Julian said sternly. “Chut’s just arrived and you’re already quarreling?”
“I have to do something to assert my authority,” Garak said, walking in and putting a hand on Julian’s shoulder. “The number of subjects under my command in this house has been dwindling.”

Summary
Imprisoned at Dominion Internment Camp 371, Doctor Julian Bashir struggles to adapt.

But even if Julian does get home, what will follow 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
"No, it's fine," Julian said automatically. "But, Garak, is everything all right?"
"Captain Sisko wanted to see me," Garak said—which was so conspicuous a refusal to answer the question Julian had asked that it almost didn't qualify as an evasion. He pulled out the chair opposite Julian, and sat.
"Captain Sisko? Why?"
"Well, apparently," Garak said, "Cardassia has lodged a formal request with the Federation for my extradition."
(Or: Garak has a problem. Julian marries him to fix it. Except that means Julian also has a problem, albeit of a very different kind.)

Summary
Julian is kicked out of Starfleet as Section 31's revenge, while Garak leaves Cardassia for reasons known only to himself but undoubtedly related to sacrifice for the good of the state. They both start over on a remote Federation moon, Vadari VII.
A different post-canon path for these two.

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
Garak, Bashir writes. I’m sorry for the delay in my reply. As I imagine it has been for you, the past eight months have been an exercise in survival for me. An exercise in which I have questioned myself what it means to do more than just survive. What it would mean for me to actually, really live. And I think I’ve finally figured it out. Or at least, figured myself out.
Please see attached.
