Title: Addendum: 5x14 "In Purgatory's Shadow"
Fandom: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Genre: Gen
Rating & Warnings: PG (references to slavery, death)
Words: 824

Summary: Ziyal has many reasons to stay on DS9.
Author's Notes: This is a rewrite of the scene where Dukat and Ziyal part. Originally, the only reason given for Ziyal wanting to stay on DS9 was that she was waiting for Garak. That really didn't jive with me, though (and it was pretty damn sexist): surely Ziyal would have all kinds of reasons behind her decision. And so this is what came out of that thought.

Tora Ziyal had done many difficult things in the course of her life. )

Title: Addendum: 2x23 "Crossover," Part 3
Fandom: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Genre: Angst
Rating & Warnings: PG
Words: 966 this part, 8547 overall
Disclaimer: I don't own Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
Summary: Julian and Kira return from the Mirrorverse physically in one piece. Their mental and emotional recoveries, however, aren't so straightforward. This part: A much-needed conversation for both.
Author's Notes: The concluding part of my three-part series about Episode 2x23 "Crossover," and the one I most strongly wish had been a part of the show. I particularly would have liked to see a change in the relationship between Julian and Kira in later episodes after sharing such a terrible experience, but sadly it was not to be. Oh well--what can you do?

The next chapter to this fic will be completely unrelated to the preceding parts, so keep an eye out for it...eventually.

Title: Addendum: 2x23 "Crossover," Part 1

Genre: Angst
Rating & Warnings: PG (references to torture, death, slavery)

Summary: Julian and Kira return from the Mirrorverse physically in one piece. Their mental and emotional recoveries, however, aren't so straightforward. This part: Julian reconciles the roles the different versions of his friends play and comes to terms with one Mirrorverse death in particular.
Author's Notes: So this got long. Really long, which is why I haven't updated this fic since it was posted. Originally, this was supposed to be a single chapter, but there was just so much awful thrown at Julian and Kira in this episode that I ended up just writing and writing and writing the fallout. So it's now in three parts, one of which is very short, but, well, it made more thematic sense to divide it up that way.

This three-parter brought to you by "Have You Ever" by The Offspring, which turned up on my mp3 player the moment I began my planning.

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
