Oooohhhh I love this!!

Garashir soulmate fic in which Julian has the words "It's Doctor Bashir, isn't it?" on his wrist, but during the events of The Wire he finds out Garak has "Don't move, I've got you." In Kardasi script down his chest and is quietly a little bit devastated.

Then it all goes to shit years later when the Orb of Time goes haywire on the station and throws Julian back 25 years to occupied Bajor. He's obviously appeared in the middle of something, because there are armed Cardassian guards storming a big important-looking building and someone is yelling about the Gul being assassinated, so Julian decides to beat a hasty retreat down a nearby alley and almost steps on an injured Cardassian in servant's clothes curled up on the floor clutching at their face in pain.

Julian should absolutely leave right now - a human on Bajor in this time period will stick out like a sore thumb - but he's a Doctor, he can't leave someone injured when he can help it, so he grabs his Tricorder that is mercifully still attached to his belt and hovers over the man. "Don't move," he says, in hopefully passable Kardasi. "I've got you."

The man freezes immediately.

Soul marks are the first words your soulmate ever says to you, a fact that gets very confusing when time travel is involved.

Summary:

“I could stay,” Bashir offers quietly. “On Cardassia.”

Garak, turning to exit the room, freezes in the doorway.

Kid AU! I have an entire fic for this in my head that will never see the light of day because I'm not a writer, so here's some fanart instead.

In dreams

I meet you in warm conversation

We both wake, in lonely beds In different cities

And time

Is taking it's sweet time erasing you

I made a bat comic and now you have to look at it

Edit: Apparently it's "not bad" so I changed the phrasing. Um hello thousands of people. You, uh, you really don't need to follow me over this one, uhh, it's not representative of my normal posting habits.

I don't know if I'll ever write it, but I made myself sad this morning thinking about the Garashir age gap. Because of course everyone thinks it won't work out, that as Bashir matures he'll recognize Garak's instability and vulnerability and the appeal will be gone. And that would be unfortunate enough, but the real tragedy is if it works.

Not a passionate affair that burns itself out like a magnesium flare, but something warm and banked and enduring. Something Bashir grows into, around, through. A partnership he relies on and becomes part of him. Then what happens on the day when Garak begins to forget things. To miss a step. How do you weather watching your person diminish. Do you feel all your own future decades spinning out while their final years draw to a close? Do you feel cheated? Does it kill you to be misplaced in their memory? To lose the recognition of the one person in all the universe who knows you as you truly are?

How does he go on alone at only 60? 70? 80? When humans live to 130 or more and Augments perhaps decades longer? How do you survive a loss like that?

If any of their friends had misgivings, I wonder what Dax might have told him. I wonder if she'd have warned him of what was to come or encouraged him to seize every moment he could steal from the time they had.

much to play with wrt the concept of sisko as a food snob and jadzia as someone who will eat literally anything with gusto. they’re going somewhere in the runabout and jadzia pours her shitty replicator coffee over some shitty replicator soft serve like “look it’s the poor woman’s affogato” and sisko is like “it’s killing me is what it is. you’re killing me. i’m dying for real watching you eat that. dax why i thought we were friends”

AI industry groups are urging an appeals court to block what they say is the largest copyright class action ever certified. They’ve warned that a single lawsuit raised by three authors over Anthropic’s AI training now threatens to “financially ruin” the entire AI industry if up to 7 million claimants end up joining the litigation and forcing a settlement.
