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…?”
Garak: I must tell you I’m disappointed hearing you mouthing the usual platitudes of peace and friendship regarding an implacable foe like the Romulans. But, I live in hope that one day you’ll come to see this universe for what it truly is, rather than what you’d wish it to be.
Bashir: Well, I shall endeavour to become more cynical with each passing day, look gift horses squarely in the mouth and find clouds in every silver lining.
Garak: If only you meant it.
Bashir: I’ll be giving a talk on Dominion biogenic weapons, chairing a seminar on Ketracel white, and attending a meeting on a proposal to transfer twenty five Federation hospital ships over to Romulan control.
Garak: How dull.
Bashir: Sorry to disappoint you. Admiral Ross and his staff will be discussing the exciting military issues.
Garak: I see. I trust that Starfleet Intelligence will be sending someone along to make good use of this opportunity.
Bashir: What do you mean?
Garak: Isn’t it obvious? This is a golden opportunity to gather intelligence on Romulan intentions and military capabilities.
Bashir: They’re our allies, Garak. And with any luck, this could be the beginning of a entirely new friendship between our peoples.
Garak: The eternal optimist.
Bashir: Guilty as charged.
Garak: How sad.
Answering that ask earlier has got me thinking and now I’ve remembered something.
Sid and Andy also wrote a play together called ‘The Dream Box’ that they performed at conventions. I did a lot of searching once in an attempt to learn more about it, but I couldn’t find out…
