Title: Crossed Wires
Fandom: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Genre: Crack
Rating & Warnings: PG (references to sex)
Words: 2014
Disclaimer: I don't own Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
Summary: Sisko is not having a good day. When a drunken Dukat turns up in his quarters, things only get worse.
Author's Notes: This fic is all Ben and Sora's fault, and they are entirely to blame for enabling my terrible two-in-the-morning fanfic ideas. (And by that I mean I love them very much, but I despair at my own brain.)

I don't even know what to say about this. Maybe someday I will write Dukat as the serious, actually threatening villain he is. I have no idea.

Also, what is Julian doing in ops in the latter half of this fic? Ask the writers of DS9. :|

Title: Morning Curiosity
Fandom: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Genre: Fluff
Rating & Warnings: PG-ish for brief references to sex
Words: 471
Disclaimer: I don't own Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
Summary: This is, hands down, the oddest morning-after conversation Julian has ever had.
Author's Notes: Basically this is me having fun with species differences...again. There's a lot of Julian finding Garak's scales/ridges/etc. really neat (Lady Yate-Xel recentlyish did a super-cute picture involving just that), but I don't often see the reverse, so I thought it would be fun to change that around a little.

There actually has been a Cardassian with facial hair--the first one seen onscreen in TNG had this really weird-ass beard thing, but no other one has since. I don't think there's ever been an official explanation for it, but if there has been...whoops. Oh well.

Title: Addendum - 01. 4x17 "Accession"
Fandom: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Genre: Gen
Rating & Warnings: G this part, PG-13 overall. No warnings this part.
Words: 982 this part, ?? overall
Disclaimer: I don't own Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
Summary: Additions, expansions, and rewrites to various DS9 episodes. 4x17 "Accession": In trying to find a substitute for Chief O'Brien's company now that the Chief's family has returned from Bajor, Bashir turns to his other friends and thereby learns exactly how irreplaceable O'Brien really is.
Author's Notes: DS9 being written in a 45-minute format and being subject to budgets, actor availability, and so forth, there's a lot of stuff that the writers couldn't do that I feel would've made many of its episodes stronger. It's totally understandable--but that doesn't mean I don't want to play with the loose ends all the same.

This one comes from a scene in the episode where, as it says above, Chief O'Brien's family returns from Bajor, meaning he can no longer live a bachelor's life with Bashir. The original scene had Bashir playing darts with Morn the barfly for humour (and probably to give Morn's actor his required appearance in the show), and it was pretty funny, but it also had the unfortunate side effect of making poor Bashir look very friendless. So, I rewrote the scene to include his friends.

...Bashir probably would have been happier if I had left well enough alone. XD

Title: The Death of Dignity
Fandom: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Genre: Fluff
Rating & Warnings: PG (for fail!seduction oh Julian)
Words: 1768
Disclaimer: I don't own Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
Summary: Dr. Bashir and Garak learn that the ideals of masculine beauty are not standard across their species and experience the loss of the illusion of constant attractiveness.
Author's Notes: I've been reading A Stich In Time by Andrew Robinson lately--the post-series book that Garak's actor wrote to tie up his character's loose ends. Seeing that it's as heartbreaking as hell, I've been writing fluff for these two pretty much nonstop.

This is just a bit of silliness flavoured with my fascination with species differences, the way politics affect fashion, and how certain words and expressions hang on long after they're obsolete ("batten down the hatches," anyone?). Someday, I'll actually post one of my serious projects for DS9, but that day is not today.

Additional disclaimer: I am not an artist. I just couldn't get the image of my head (it actually turned up first and the fic came after), so have an illustrated fanfic à la Lady Yate-Xel.



( Right now, 'dishevelled' barely did justice to the state of Garak's hair. )
