Story: So the past week or so I’ve been thinking of doing a ds9 rewrite of sorts…Basically it’s just me shouting at Lemon about all of the things I WISH happened in ds9.

The biggest and most significant change would have been unjoined trill Ensign Ezri Tigan was reassigned from her position on the USS Destiny to be counselor on Deep Space Nine somewhere mid-season 5. Even though she had not quite yet completed her training (six months to go), Starfleet deemed her prepared enough to handle the individuals on DS9. And seeing how they were in the middle of a war, and DS9 is on the front lines- the mental health of everyone on board is of high importance and a counselor was desperately needed there.

Ensign Ezri Tigan finds out that DS9 has another trill, joined, Dax at that- and is surprised when Jadzia comes up to her wanting to be friends with this newcomer. Over the next year and a half the station’s two trills, despite their differences, they end up becoming almost inseparable…practically siblings in every way but blood
