I’m suddenly having a lot of feels about an AU Kira and Dax where they’re buddy cops. Dax is gentle and jokey but a stickler for the rules; Kira is tough and passionate and thinks it’s OK to break the stupid rules. Dax is from a very priviledged background, and a long line of cops; Kira hasn’t had the same opportunities as Dax, but she feels like she understands the world much better than Dax does. Dax thinks science and meticulous research are the most important things; Kira likes to work by instinct. They both have a strong sense of morality. Dax thinks Kira needs to lighten up and lay off the local bar-tender; Kira thinks Dax is flakey. They bicker and keep asking Chief Sisko to pair them up with someone else. One day, there’s a huge threat on Kira’s old neighbourhood (maybe there’s a bomb threat from the extremist group, the Cardassians?) and Dax doesn’t think, she just does, and together, breaking all the rules, they save the day.
Then there is kissing.
