Doctor Julian Bashir x Elim Garak
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine“I’ll admit that it is archaic, but it does have its uses, dear doctor.”
Garak: We had a rich and ancient culture. Our literature, music, art were second to none. And now, so much of it is lost. So many of our best people, our most gifted minds.
Bashir: I’m sorry, Garak. I didn’t mean…
Garak: Oh, it’s quite all right, Doctor. You’ve been such a good friend. I’m going to miss our lunches together.
Deep Dish Nine this week features Lady And Tinsnip’s Serious Love For And/Or Obsession With Garak’s Reading Glasses.
GARAK
ELIM. GARAK.
TAKE NOTE.

1920’s Garak and Bashir, by vague request/suggestion!
Thanks to tinsnip for keeping me company during a livestream of this!

what if in this scene Bashir kissed Garak before he died
and then when the Dominion releases everyone from the simulation, nobody says anything to him about it at first but then finally Dax or O’Brien or someone is like “you thought that was real life and you acted on your feelings” and Bashir’s like “nope” and O’Brien’s like “look dude you gotta go after him in this lifetime before you lose him for real”
and then that’s how they get together and tumblr’s favorite DS9 ship becomes canon, the end
THAT WOULD BE GREAT YES PLEASE
*crying* SO MANY DISAPPOINTMENTS
that ship is basically canon already.. it’s just not a ship that was allowed to leave port T__T
btw O’Brien would never be the one to give that advice, it’d be Dax. Definitely Dax.
yeah o’brien would be like
“but it didn’t actually happen, julian, so you don’t need to worry about it.
if garak’s ever actually dying and the pair of you actually kiss…i guess that might mean there’s something for you to think about…but obsessing over holograms is just what the dominion wants us to do! come on…a few rounds of the battle of britain will take your mind off of it.”
he might be a good friend…but he doesn’t strike me as the type to give good man advice at all.
keiko’s the one to go to for that.
“i got miles, didn’t i…?”
