Notes: For each character, we've listed a character tag as well as all ship tags that involve that character (sometimes none). Characters are alphabetized by surname, when known. Ships for a given character are alphabetized by the surnames of the other character(s) in the ship. A tag for the character's "miscellaneous" ships (that is, character/non-ds9 character ships, character/OC ships, and ships which only have one fic) is always given at the top of the list of ships for that character.

General gripes about DS9 and gender (some spoilers) (content notes: some references to sexual abuse/trauma, and specifically spiritual abuse/sexual misconduct in religious leaders, also death/murder):

I swear to fuck these people do not know how to write female characters without shoehorning them into romance plotlines. (Or weird fucked up stuff, like when that Cardassian serial murderer kidnaps Kira.) Especially noticeable with Ziyal -- when Kira takes her to DS9, the writers apparently can't think of a single thing to do with a young woman other than ship her with a much older Cardassian. Then, she's starting to get her own life and make a name for her as an artist, and they fucking refridgerator her. The fuck. (And: the focus is on how her death affects Dukat, that fucker. Which, obviously sure it's going to affect him...but it's also going to affect Kira, who sees Ziyal as like a younger version of herself and was trying to protect her. And then Ziyal dies. That should have some sort of effect on Kira! And did no one else on the station make any sort of connection with her when she was there?) This is arguably not primarily a gender thing, but it is partly a gender thing: the show keeps demanding Kira find sympathy for her oppressors, over and over again. (This is a gripe fest: of course there's a lot of things about Kira's character that are done really well.) She keeps getting thrown in situations that show (some) Cardassians in more nuanced lights and that more or less force her into relationships with them, while meanwhile her old resistance cell friends all get killed off, her parents are dead, if she has any other family we don't hear about it, and she's basically left with no Bajoran friends even, as far as we know. She gets Bajoran lovers who... OK, about that. First, Vedek Bareil. Now, Bajorans are shown to have a pretty relaxed attitude towards their clergy (eg Kira is frequently rude to Winn even after she becomes Kai with apparently no consequences) -- but still. Vedek is roughly equivalent to, what, cardinal? He's high up in the heirarchy. And, he's put himself in a role of spiritual authority relative to Kira: she gets access to one of the Orbs through him. They've got a power imbalance and one that's connected to Kira's ability to do her religion. I don't care what the social norms are on Bajor that is 100% sexual misconduct on Bareil's part. If something went wrong in their relationship, it could fuck up Kira's connection to her faith. And in the show it's presented as no big deal.

(Star Trek seems to be aware of this when it comes to ship's captains! For all that Kirk notoriously fucks everyone, he never voluntarily (/outside of the mirror universe, outside of odd transporter malfunctions that split him into two parts, etc) came on to a crew member. But it's no less important for religious authorities.) (Also: this has nothing to do with celebacy. I'm fine with Bajoran religious figures being allowed to have sex and being allowed to have sex outside of marriage. But: a religious leader having a sexual relationship with someone who they're in a pastoral relationship to is wrong, and while Bareil isn't exactly Kira's pastor I think there is some level of, he's providing spiritual guidance to her. That means she's off limits to him, or should be. In the same way that bosses shouldn't fuck their direct reports, college professors shouldn't fuck their students, therapists definitely shouldn't fuck their patients, etc. Regardless of how they handle their sex life outside of those restrictions. And regardless of whether there's love involved or not -- romantic love absolutely does not make it better.) And then there's Shakaar, the former leader of her resistance cell. That she joined as a teenager. It's...yeah, it's been many years, yeah she's not directly under him any more, and yeah goodness knows a band of resistance fighters is probably not going to have a clearly written up sexual harassment policy so it's not necessarily unrealistic...it's not as blatantly "oh god no" as Bareil, but it's got some...is anyone thinking of potential abuse of power issues here? Anyone?

There was one episode where Jake and Nog were double-dating and it goes badly due to Ferengi, uh, gender roles not meshing well with Federation egalatarianism. And, then the rest of the episode is all about how they're going to repair their friendship. And I was thinking: we didn't see either female character either before or after, and why is a sexism issue being shown from the lens of "how can I, a nice guy, stay friends with my male friend who has sexism issues" and not "how am I, a young woman, going to deal with this affront to my basic personhood" or "how am I, a young woman, going to repair my friendship now that I talked my friend into a double date so I could date the guy I liked but his friend turned out to be garbage?" Like...out of all the potential relationships there, why is Jake's friendship with a guy with sexism issues (who's made it clear he's not going to change, at least as far as dating goes) the one presented as being in most need of preservation? I know, it's because Jake and Nog are more central characters and their friendship has been significant in the show for seasons now. But...that just brings up more questions. Like why does this show have a significant bro friendship between two teenage boys, but there's no friendship between two women (or between a woman and a man for that matter) that's given as much weight? There's some bonding between Kira and Dax, but it doesn't have the same presence and significance as Jake and Nog or, say, Miles and Julian. (I'm having first name/last name inconsistencies here. Ah well.) Keiko has no on-camera friendships. Kira has no on-camera friendships that have Jake & Nog or Julian & Miles weight. Dax maybe does with her Klingon buddies from Curzon's lifetime. (Benjamin Sisko also doesn't.) Ziyal could have, but doesn't. Molly could have, but doesn't. Miles doesn't seem to have any (on-camera or otherwise acknowledged) parent friends (like...there's one couple mentioned who can babysit Molly at times? That's it? We never even see them?), which is weird because fuck knows parenthood can make it hard to have any friends who aren't parents. Odo's got his weird frenemy thing with Quark. Garak has his standing lunch with Julian (if you read that as platonic, which ... yeah, there's not a lot of arguments for seeing it as platonic beyond "they're both men.") I am, don't get me wrong, extremely for showing male friendships. Very much for it. It's just...I want friendships that aren't between two guys also. And I want them to be shown as significant and meaningful and worth overcoming obstacles for. Friendships between women, friendships between people of the same race or culture (or alien species, since we are talking Star Trek here), friendships between men and women that aren't just a precursor to romance. And...parenting that isn't just...I want to see Keiko have problems with parenting that she overcomes with help from other people. I want to explore the emotional ramifications of Kira being a surrogate mom to Kirayoshi or being a semi adopted mom to Ziyal and then having her die. I want Kira to talk about how her own upbringing in times of famine and war and occupation affects her sense of her ability to potentially be a parent. I want a female character to calmly talk about her decision to not become a mother and have that decision be treated with the utmost respect. I want the sort of struggles that male characters have with parenting on the show, like Worf's difficulty connecting with his son or Benjamin's conflict over watching his son grow up and get less interested in spending time with his dad, be shown for female characters as well. And the joys, like when Benjamin remembers holding Jake as an infant, like when they reunite after Jake gets caught in a war zone. Rather than parenting be this thing that mom characters apparently do on autopilot without any internal conflict or feeling out of their depth or particular moments of joy and amazement. There's so many plot lines and moments and bits and pieces that could be amazing moments that give

mother characters balance and nuance and characterization, but they only ever get shown for fathers. (And this is not just Star Trek either...look at all the kids movies that are about father/son or father/daughter bonding, and somehow the moms...just aren't there. It's so good when there are single father storylines, just...where are all the mom storylines that could be like that?) And why do teenage boys get focus and their own stories (especially with Jake in DS9, but also TNG has Wesley Crusher and Alexander, and TOS had one story centering on a teenage boy) but girls either aren't there at all or don't get to have stories that are about them? Ziyal's stories aren't about her, she doesn't get to form her own friendships and only barely gets to develop an interest of her own before her life is taken away from her. Molly doesn't get stories that are about her. (And yeah, Molly's a lot younger than Jake, but those are still choices: DS9 could have been set when Molly was a teenager, or the show could have introduced a different teenage girl as a significant character, or Jake could have been a girl rather than a boy, or Benjamin could have had two children...)

Sisko Fic Prompts

Let’s get something clear. There is not enough Benjamin Sisko fic. Here’s some completely up for grabs plotbunnies. Feel free to pile on more.

A l l the post canon fic

Sisko and Kasidy chilling on post-canon Bajor with their baby.

Sisko rejoining Starfleet to fight the borg invasion (novel canon, but tbh you can do better by Sisko)

Sisko feeling compelled to go to Cardassia for the relief efforts for a few months or a year.

Sisko negotiating Bajor’s entrance to the Federation

Sisko interacting with the new Kai

Gamma Quadrant exploration fic (also sort of novel canon, but once again, you can do it different)

Sisko meeting up with any of the Voyager crew post-canon

SISKO WITH THE PROPHETS C’MON THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO WAX PHILOSOPHICAL AND WRITE NON-LINEAR VIGNETTES AND ALTERNATE UNIVERSES AND RETURN TO FAR BEYOND THE STARS OKAY GIVE ME THIS

Tired post-canon, post-celestial temple Sisko alternating between being the world’s best stay at home dad on Bajor and joining Kasidy on her ship.

Sisko meets Picard again.

Sisko and Ro Laren (DS9′s post canon security officer in the novels)

Benjamin/Kasidy/Jadzia OT3

Ben getting therapy after Wolf 359 & Jennifer’s death

Ben introducing Jennifer to Curzon

Ben/Curzon fic or alternatively, Ben & Curzon inebriated shenanigans

Any interactions whatsoever between Benjamin and Curzon

In a deleted scene in The Wire, Ben mentions trying to step in on behalf of a Romulan cook who was taken in by the Tal Shiar. He’s real ambiguous about how well that turned out.

Ben and Jake throughout the years

Romantic fluff with Ben’s canon love interests.

Kasidy is trying to propose. Ben is trying to propose. The entire cast is giving them helpful advice.

Academy fic. Remember, Ben is an engineering student and meets Jennifer at the academy.

5+1 style fics about what a massive n e r d Ben is. This man built a spaceship with his bare hands to prove a point.

Mirrorverse fic that’s actually Sisko centric, of which my trashy mirrorverse loving self has seen none.

Mirror!Sisko deserves a lot more analysis. He’s a rather dark version of our Sisko in the sense that he’s largely cut himself off from his caring nature (a fundamental part of Sisko), but he’s ready to care again with hardly any prompting and he still has a crew he cares deeply about. Also, no matter how mirror!Sisko would frame it, his “relationship” with the Intendent is repeated sexual assault.

Fics about all the times Sisko clashed with Starfleet Command.

Character studies and Sisko POV fics about his relationships with Quark, Dukat, Nog, and Ezri.

Sisko mourning Curzon (however that works for joined Trills) and Jennifer. 

See that dropped plot-point? Pick it right up.

Remember when we discovered that Sisko’s birth was prearranged by the Prophets? Do something not cringe-worthy with that.

So how did Sisko feel about Kasidy being Maquis? Alternatively, a Kasidy fic about her assisting the Maquis where Ben plays an important role.

Canon-rewrite/canon-compliant fic about DS9′s first season from Ben’s perspective. Show him recovering from his grief, developing a friendship with Kira, etc.

Notice how Sisko has to send one of his least experienced crew members to infiltrate a dangerous amoral intelligence organization and the very next episode he becomes an accessory to murder? How does he deal with that?

A l l the AUs

Mirror!Sisko lives AU

Sisko meets Lady Q AU/lost episode

AU where the borg win Wolf 359, assimilate most of the Federation, and Sisko is on one of the surviving Federation rebellion vessels (that is inevitably forced to team up with the Cardassian Union).

AU where Sisko leaves Starfleet before meeting the Prophets or AU where he leaves right after the pilot but somehow the prophets keep calling him back. (Maybe he leaves on this lovely civilian freighter?)

Mirror!Sisko meets the Prophets AU

AU where Sisko joins the Maquis. AU where Kira joins and Sisko helps from within the system because his loyalties are torn.

AU where Wolf 359 happens ten years before the Cardassian Occupation ends and Sisko is assigned to post that involves interaction with Cardassians before the Occupation is over.

AU where section 31 does not contact Julian Bashir and contacts Sisko after the end of In the Pale Moonlight

AU where Sisko is in command of a space ship that undergoes Voyager’s plot. (Bonus if Kira is Maquis and Julian is a hologram).

Ben’s morality is a very central part of his character. Use plots from other shows (like Enterprise’s cogenitor or TNG’s Measure of a Man) to show how Sisko would react.
