Summary
After his resounding success in securing Doctor Bashir as a means of passing information along to the new station owners, Garak is considering how best to secure him for more personal matters. The way it will play out is hardly clear-cut. Yes, Doctor Bashir is a military officer, and Garak is a disgraced and stateless exile, but the doctor is young and has an air of innocent naivety about him. The situation is clearly on a knife’s edge. Unexpected resolution comes in the form of Bashir’s visit to his quarters late in the evening and a rather blunt proposition. Or, so it seems to Garak in any case.

Summary
Beyond the far reaching fingers of the Federation Julian Bashir survives on the kindness of strangers and reciprocal gifts. A place to sleep in exchange for the care of a sick child. A meal for a healed bone. Passage to the next station for sex. Introductions get easier as he travels further, and despite the ever lingering sadness of dreams dashed, Julian finds that he doesn’t mind his life. He rather likes being an intergalactic man of mystery, leaving questions, broken hearts, and healed strangers in his path.

Summary
Sequel to "When You Go Away." Julian's research project in speculative reproductive xenobiology is turning out to be a little more complicated than he'd hoped...
Silly and fun and very light. Highlights: second-season Bashir; flirtatious, fascinated Garak; Cardassian manners; lack of sleep; too much coffee; when when when can I see him again??
Note: this is a sequel, but can easily be read on its own.

Summary
The chaos of the conclave forces Thomas into a stress rut the day of the final vote. He retreats to his room to ride it out on his own as he has handled every other rut in his life. Vincent has a better solution.
Also known as: "I make Vincent 'the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end' because that quote is being painfully under-utilized by this fandom's a/b/o section!" fic. Not sorry.

Summary
Through an unfortunate sequence of events, Thomas Lawrence exposes his smoking hot body to Vincent and the paparazzi. Vincent.exe has stopped working.
This fic is directly the result of a Tumblr post by topaz-witch-tea, where Thomas is secretly ripped and ends up having to take his robes off in front of the paparazzi, and they all find out how buff and he is. It started a fierce urge in me to write this fic. Hope you enjoy.
