A cutesy DD9GB for the frequent high-scorer on my list of favorite humans, @tinsnip, on the occasion of her getting older. We met because of these two, so this always feels appropriate.
Cross stitch themed overall, but also includes a few other things she enjoys (like unicorn tears lipstick)~
much love and many tildes my dear~~ <3
Just a few thoughts. Not going to focus on the Kira storyline, but the Odo storyline.
-The baby changeling is instead a young child abandoned in a box outside Quark’s bar
-Quark finds the child and lets Odo know
-The child has pneumonia or something and Odo takes them to Julian while he’s on his training shift at the hospital, where the child is treated.
-Odo takes the child under his wing while they recover, and develops a fondness for the child, putting in an adoption file or something.
-Dr. Mora is a social worker who investigates whether Odo would be a fit parent, ironic because he was a terrible caretaker for Odo when Odo was stuck in the foster care system.
-Of course they butt heads, each insisting they know what’s best for the child.
-The child’s condition takes a turn for the worse when Dr. Mora is watching them while Odo’s at Quark’s after work, and is taken back to the hospital.
-Julian tells Odo the child will have to stay in hospital care for a while until they recover, but Dr. Mora agrees that Odo may take custody of the child after they’ve recovered.
-Odo doesn’t have to get depressed!! And the child doesn’t have to die!!

After that last DD9 comic, naturally I had to draw something to cheer myself up, yeah? (I … think we’ll be back to your regularly scheduled aliens after this, though. Probably.)
Inspired, of course, by @ladyyatexel’s AU Garak and Bashir, her versions of ~significant (human!)Cardassian hand-holding, and also rather directly by the first chapter of @tinsnip‘s can’t steal happiness (although I moved the interaction to Deep Dish Nine, mostly because I felt the need to put Julian in his uniform).

Oops.
Writing was like pulling teeth yesterday, so I took a break and got completely sucked into the Deep Dish Nine pizza parlor AU. Which I surprised myself by loving immensely (I’m usually not terribly into non-canon/human!AUs, it’s a thing … but then, very few of those have such an intriguing commitment to reinterpreting alien cultures as human/immigrant ones). So here’s a small scene from @ladyyatexel’s Deep Dish Nine (and @tinsnip’s Inconvenient Fireworks, for that matter), because that particular human!Cardassian hand gesture is totally irresistible.

“Why Constable! You’re here an awful lot for a man who doesn’t eat pizza.”
“And you, Garak, run a surprisingly successful business for a tailor who spends so little time in his own shop.”
“You wound me, Constable. Care for a drink?”
“Please.”
Sisko Week - Day Seven
AU - Deep Dish Nine
Benjamin Sisko is a widower raising alone his son, Jake. They lead a normal life, until Sisko decides that it’s time to bring a change into their lives.
He buys an establishment on the frontier between the Alpha and the Gamma cities, and decides to dedicate his life to an old passion: cooking.
With this in mind, Sisko opens Deep Dish Nine, a cozy and modest pizza place. Helped at first by his son and his old friends, the Dax sisters, Sisko soon starts to employ a very different range of people, who includes a med student, a wonderful but stubborn Bajoran woman and a family man trying to obtain a second income.
What seemed to be an unambitious investment soon turns into one of the most popular places in the Quadrant, and the ragtag group of employees Sisko hired turned into a second family for him. Even Sisko’s father is impressed… even if he would rather his son had made use of his college degree and had become an astronaut.
Deep Dish Nine Anyone?
