    Summary

    The drink certainly didn’t taste very strong. The flavor was mild, slightly sweet and minty but not entirely unpleasant, and Garak soon finished off his glass. Quark smiled. “I’ll get you another.”

    Strangely, Garak was already beginning to feel the effects of the alcohol, despite having a higher tolerance to it than most humanoids. Quark had mentioned that it was stronger than it looked, but surely a few sips wasn’t enough to make his clothes suddenly feel much too large? It certainly couldn’t explain why the edge of the bar now seemed to be looming over his head.

    “Quark?” he tried to ask, but… all he heard was a sharp hissing sound. He looked down at himself, but where his hands should have been, there were two reptilian feet, swathed in the blue fabric of what had previously been his shirt.

    “Mr. Garak?” asked Quark, leaning across the bar and looking down at Garak. When he saw whatever Garak was, he let out an undignified yelp.

    Or, Garak is turned into a lizard, and Julian finds out he's a very cuddly lizard.

    Summary

    On Cardassia, Bashir relentlessly pursues Garak, just like Garak once pursued him. Unfortunately, Garak has convinced himself that 'sentiment is the greatest weakness of all', and it takes all of Bashir's powers of persuasion to convince him otherwise.

    (Spoiler alert: he succeeds.)

    A mostly light-hearted piece where their roles are reversed.

    Summary

    "So? What did you think of it?" Dr. Bashir asked, his voice warm with enthusiasm. Between them on the table lay a PADD, which Garak had left there before he went to get his food. At the top of the screen, in a large font, it said Good Omens.

    "Well," Garak said, and then he paused, looking at Julian.

    "Well what?"

    "Well, it was certainly different from the other literature that you've been giving me to read."

    -------

    (Set sometime in late Season 6.

    Familiarity with Good Omens is helpful, but not required.)
