the moons on my side
i have no reason to runI HEARD THERE WAS A DEEP DISH NINE ANNIVERSARY, my roots, my history, the original space teenagers
tbh i’m so here for jake sisko going down to garak’s shop and asking him for help with his stories, and garak helping him like legitimately? Garak being super fucking vague about things and making jake figure out what bit of the story he’s criticizing or what he’s telling jake he should do and jake!!! loves it!!!
because garak straight-up criticizes and praises his work in the same fucking breath, and he’s so helpful but so annoying oh my god!!! garak!!
and one night he’s sitting with garak a little after closing, hunkered down over a story he’s editing as garak sews a new dress and listens to him talk, and ziyal comes in to ask if garak would like to have supper with her.
And at the time jake is fetching a new spool of thread from the cupboard for garak, and he comes back to find ziyal is reading through the padd he’d left on the table.
“My dear, i’ve a lot of work to be getting on with,” garak says sweetly, “but I’m sure Mr Sisko will of course accompany you to a meal, such a gentleman as he is.” and jake’s like !!!! ! !! ! UM OKAY!! YEAH!! ZIYAL!! LET’S GO
and ziyal and jake talk about jake’s story, and garak’s like :) yes :) yesssss
It’s him, isn’t it? That despicable tailor. You don’t want to leave because you’re waiting for him? Garak promised me that he would come back.

Here is an art of Jake/Ziyal for @isilannafic for the @trek-rarepair-swap! I think I might have made Ziyal a little too tall? But I think it’s cute!
Author and artist having a bit of story talk! I hope you like it! ^u^
