Summary
Pronouns had never confused Dax like this before. But after a multitude of lifetimes, constant flux seemed to be getting to the symbiont. Lela had been a girl; Tobin hadn’t been fond of gender at all, but didn’t mind traditionally masculine identifiers and never thought about it past that; Emony had also been a girl, Audrid too; Torias was the first host to really feel like a man, and what an experience that had been; Joran and Curzon had also both been men; Jadzia, well she had only ever confessed to Worf that she liked being a woman, but sometimes wished she could be a man too. Even for her, though, it had always been clear at any given moment exactly which gender she wanted to embrace. Ezri however, couldn’t make heads or tails of gender. The Trill would use female identifiers most frequently, but couldn’t shake the unease being called a woman caused. But masculine identifiers were no good either. None of it felt right. None of it made any sense.

Summary
Exposed. Naked. Garak’s soul had been bared to Julian Bashir, and he felt more vulnerable than he could ever remember feeling. The doctor now knew more about him than any other living person. Except perhaps Mila, but Garak often wondered whether the man he had become in his exile would even be recognizable to her. He was now the kind of man who trusted, who was trusted, but only by one man. One Star Fleet doctor.
~~~
After returning from imprisonment in the gamma quadrant, Garak pushes everyone, including Bashir, away. Bashir doesn't let him and once some of the many lies told between them are cleared away, they find themselves closer than ever before. Somehow, this doesn't scare Garak in the slightest.
