Summary
Captain Sisko makes a chatroom for the DS9 officers to discuss important station matters. It is immediately misused.
Or:
A series of unrelated, hopefully comedic vignettes told in a chatroom style I wrote ages ago when I was trying to get to grips with writing the DS9 characters.

Red tulips (and their correct application) by ellethinthewoods
Fandoms: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
15 Sep 2016

Summary
After the incident with Gilora, the O'Briens have a dinner, and Miles gripes about argumentative Cardassian flirting. They have had a lot of wine, which is probably why he's telling this story, and probably why another Cardassian gets mentioned, and Julian too, and most definitely why Miles forgets himself and mentions all the times he's seen them arguing.
“They...argue?” Keiko's voice is very quiet.
“Yes, I was just saying…” Oh. Oh no. “You don’t think?”
And suddenly the two of them are involved in his best friend's love life, which Miles is most definitely (not) regretting.

Summary
Fourteen years after the end of the Dominion War, Bajor and Cardassia are finally poised to enter the United Federation of Planets, together. But when Castellan Garak and Military Minister Kira find the body of Julian Bashir—with a heavily encrypted datarod containing the last fifty years of covert operations by Section 31 in his hand—on the eve of the treaty signing on Deep Space Nine, negotiations fall apart.
There is some nuance to it, of course, but what is nuance when your friend’s dead body has been found in a stasis container in Cargo Bay Four?
Or, Julian dies in the name of service to the Alpha Quadrant, but does a poor job staying dead. It does get his friends back together in one place, though.

Summary
“I just wanted to report that due to the revelations of your genetic modifications, you have been withdrawn from consideration for the LMH program,” Zimmerman announces, rocking on his heels.
“Yes, thank you, I gathered as much,” Julian says.
“As such, there’s no reason for me to keep this,” Doctor Zimmerman says, and produces a datarod. “Character interviews; completely worthless now. You might as well have them.”
Julian blinks, thrown off balance. “Thank you?” he tries, taking the datarod.
Zimmerman just shrugs. “There’s nothing to thank me for,” he says. “They’re simply of no use to me.” And without another word, he continues onto his transport.
—
Reeling from the revelation of his genetic enhancements, Julian is presented with a temptation: the unfiltered opinions of his friends and coworkers. Of course he's going to look - and in so doing, he discovers an interview he wasn't expecting: one Elim Garak. The only thing even more surprising is what Garak has to say.

Summary
Reviews
dutifulcitizen43: An excellent depiction of how even in the face of adversity, we cannot (indeed, we must not) forget our duty to the state.
riveted-reader7: A satisfying conclusion to an entertaining plot.
lost-inthe-yamoksauce: Serving the state is always good, but I really appreciated the arguments between Melrok and Dira, if you know what I mean ;)
Reply from gul-smoothmoves: Want to re-enact them in DMs?
kukalaka69: While learning about some of the intricacies of the Cardassian tax system was certainly fascinating, I definitely wanted to know more about the characters and their motivations beyond their jobs. Melrok and Dira had some fun repartee, and I would have liked to read more about their friendship. More importantly, there was no consideration of Esgatt’s moral reason for embezzling government funds, which made the ending rather rushed and predictable.

Or, Julian is introduced to Cardassia's version of Goodreads, and he and Garak get to talking.

The House That Omnipotence Built by celestialwarzone
Fandoms: Star Trek: The Next Generation
25 Sep 2019
Tags
Summary
In the grand scheme of things, when one considers its owners, the modern house that occupies a suspiciously quiet hillside of the densely populated city really isn’t overly impressive... but, then, that's never been the point.
It's difficult, when one's spent their entire life as a deeply principled mortal, to consider the possibilities of being anything else; two centuries into forever, a former captain begins to wonder if he can ever be truly happy as a being so very far from human.
(My [exceedingly late and somewhat eccentric] entry into the Qcard Big Bang 2019, wherein the author attempts to answer our little corner of the internet's eternal dilemma: just how do we merge the humanity of Jean-Luc with the capacities and lifespan of the Q?)

Summary
Sometimes it feels impossible to compare the Q described in Starfleet records to the one that pops on and off the ship at his own leisure. It really shouldn’t be, especially given that Jean-Luc has provided almost all the information, but reading Q’s description on paper is vastly different to enduring his presence.
For example, Q’s file now states that he is averse to touch with physical beings. Words that Jean-Luc himself wrote stare back at him from the screen, but he cannot bring himself to believe them.
Jean-Luc can recall a hundred casual touches: a mouth next to his temple, an arm around his shoulder, a finger tracing his ear, a hand reaching for his across his desk. These were not the behaviours of a touch-averse creature.

“Brian’s about to start us off!” Mason said happily. “So, Brian, what will it be? Would you rather electrocute yourself, or electrocute Antony?”
Will was prepared to play a bored rich man's game in order to save Abigail's life. He was not prepared for the innocent children's game to turn into a sadistic test to determine who will survive the night — and he certainly wasn't prepared for Hannibal Lecter.
