Summary
He asked Julian about them, that first time. The only time. ‘You know how Klingons are,’ Julian shrugged. And certainly Klingons lived rough. They ate rough, celebrated rough, fought rough with bat'leths and fists, and boasted rough in whatever vigorous physical activities they considered recreational.
And when Julian moved and tried to hide his stiffness... well.
Klingons were an enthusiastic people. Everyone knew that.
A story of bad communication that asks the age-old question of: ‘is it cheating when you don’t ask your husband to stop sleeping with his Klingon Warrior Bond buddy because you don’t think you have the right to ask, he doesn’t stop because he assumes you’d tell him to stop if it really bothered you, and then you both communicate about it badly for years?’

Summary
"You're not Jules Bashir,” it says it gently, like Julian might spook. “He died on an operating table when he was six years old. They scooped him out and poured you in, and you've been pretending ever since." It moves closer, and Julian notices its footsteps don't quite make the right sound against the floor. "Can you remember being Jules, Beautiful Thing? Really remember?"
Julian can't.
Or: Julian has always known he's built, not born. How can The Stranger— master of things pretending to be human— resist such a perfect offering?
(DS9 setting with TMA fear entities. TMA knowledge not strictly needed to read/understand. If anything, it'll read like a particularly trippy 'planet of the week' episode)

Summary
There are places in town where the air feels wrong now. Yoshiki notices it first near the train station, a prickling unease that makes him want to cross to the other side of the street. Then by the convenience store. Then near the old shrine path.
‘Hikaru’ notices him noticing. "You can feel ‘em," he says, pleased with that childlike wonder.
"Feel what?"
"The ones I've caught for ya." ‘Hikaru’ takes his hand, and it feels like Hikaru. "Wanna see?"
Is it cruel for a cat to play with its prey? For a shrike to build its larder? Some gifts cannot be assigned morality, as intertwined with instinct as they are.
Hikaru gives a gift to Yoshiki. How can Yoshiki do anything but love him?

Summary
Julian scoffed. As if he could make Garak do anything and Julian certainly did not force him to finish that cream pie. “But you didn’t agree to that offer. You know, I could have you arrested for breaking into my holosuite.”
“If you insist. Though…,” said Garak, his voice trailing off as he grabbed the tennis ball paused and floating mid-air. Julian watched his fingers flex as he bounced the ball up and down against the clay ground. Catch and release. “That wouldn’t be very fun for either of us, would it, Doctor?”
“I was fine and having fun. If I’d wanted company, I would have extended an invitation.”
“Hm. I suppose. But I can replace the computer. Or would you really prefer to play by yourself?”
---
It's Julian's birthday. He should be excited to be alive and turning thirty yet he can't stop thinking about what happened in his mind only a few days prior. He can't stop thinking of Garak.

Summary
Post-canon Cardassia vignettes, inspired by The Cure's "Mint Car."
Very light, very fluffy, very self-indulgent.
Hey, the world may be half-destroyed, but Cardassia rebuilds, Cardassia survives - and in the meantime, infatuation is a power unto itself. Even survivors fall in love, as Elim Garak is finding out. (Julian Bashir is pleased to assist.)

Summary
After spending five long months in a holding cell for a crime he failed to commit, Garak is ready to spend the first night back in his quarters alone. He's not looking forward to it, but at least he has his own blankets to keep him warm.
Julian, of course, has other ideas.
