Title: An Evening With Schoenberg
Fandom: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Genre: AU/romance/humour
Rating & Warnings: PG (kissing, language, slight internalised homophobia)
Words: 5867
Disclaimer: I don't own Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
Summary: Garak invites Julian to a concert of music by the "dangerous" Arnold Schoenberg. Julian has no idea what to expect, but he's about to find out.
Author's Notes: Another of my installments in the DS9 pizza shop AU, Deep Dish Nine. This one is significantly more serious in tone than my previous outing. I was inspired by the fics and discussions of tinsnip and Lady Yate-Xel into trying my hand at Julian and Garak's relationship in this 'verse, though I more or less went off in my own direction to a degree. So, for example, I ended up loosely basing Cardassian dating on turn-of-the-previous-century courting to give it some of that different flavour that's present in DS9, rather than stealing any thunder.
Jane Bond is the idea of humon, whose take I love rather a lot.
Dedicated to tinsnip, who not only is a fantastic beta (posting this ahead of schedule is my very small way of thanking her for all her help), but a lovely person and friend. The DS9 fandom is lucky as hell to have you. ♥
( 'Well then,' Garak began in that rehearsed casual tone that signaled many of his suggestions, 'perhaps you'd be willing to accompany me to a concert later this weekâonce either your assignment is handed in or is a pile of ash on the floor of your apartment.' )
( The concert. )
