    Summary

    Garak?” Julian exclaimed incredulously upon seeing the familiar figure exit the lift, “What are you doing here?”

    “Now really,” Garak made a show of bristling slightly as he made his way into the sterile office space, “I am quite tired of being interrogated at every turn. You’d think the citizens in this facility would be more grateful. I am, after all, the one who authorized its existence.”
    Julian snorted.
    ---
    In a Post-war Cardassian state, Garak has won an extremely rigged election with the help of starfleet, and become the Castellan.
    Determined as he is to enact change for the better on his war-torn planet, Garak is distracted by a certain Starfleet-sent relief worker–and his impending departure.
    Garak tries desperately to woo Julian, fix his planet, and maybe (just maybe) achieve forgiveness.
    Meanwhile, Julian dreads returning to his former assignment aboard a space station that no longer feels like home, and deals with a hospital full of co-workers who are convinced he's shagging the ex-Order Castellan, who they're all utterly terrified of.

    What happens if he wants them to be right?

    Summary

    Genetic augmentation is unpredictable. Sometimes, some combination of genes from some combination of species results in an ability that no one ever expected. Too often, the results are death and destruction.

    Summary

    “The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.” –– Joseph Campbell

     

    --

    The plan seemed simple:

    Julian would go on his first away mission since the camp. He'd explore a planet and avoid triggering his newly minted and (mostly) under control PSTD, while trying not to worry about Garak too much.

    Garak, left behind on DS9, would attempt to do something healthy and proactive about his own recovery, even if he knew it would never work, so as to delay Julian from inevitably deciding to leave him.

    Spoiler: Nothing goes according to plan.
