    Summary

    In my original conception of The End of This Day's Business, I intended to narrate in full how Garak and Parmak's relationship emerged, taking into account the vagaries of post-war Cardassian politics, the not-so-small matter of an interrogation, the immutable fact of Enabran Tain, the difficulty of one of them living in Paris, and various other complications, including a beautiful human-shaped one.

    I've ended up writing a few pieces in this space, and I've collected them here. I hope you enjoy.

    Summary

    Julian doesn't think about it much these days. Why should he, when it's been so long?

    But when he does, if he does, well—he considers it part and parcel of Garak, that's all. Disconcerting at first, a little invasive. Awfully close to a line but not quite crossing it, and leaving Julian with absolutely no idea what he's meant to do in response. Garak in microcosm, summarized in a single unexpected gesture.

    (Or: Julian has always thought Garak just had a weird little habit. Until another Cardassian does the same thing to him, and seems to imbue the gesture with a meaning Julian really had not anticipated.)
