Stuff and Things

shranstan:

the reason garak/parmak/bashir works is that it has the potential for 3-way mutual pining

garak: julian and kelas are able to get married.. they belong in the same profession/social class.. 

bashir: elim and kelas are probably going to marry each other.. after all, they are both cardassians, unlike me, and they have a prior relationship from all those ages ago..

parmak: elim and julian are probably already secretly married.. they’ve connected so much when living on ds9.. they shared so many intense events together, won a war together..

Did you read A Stitch in Time and have a lot of questions love it?

I wrote a sequel for it called Notions, which you can read here.  It’s complete, and addresses:

• Julian’s response.
  
• The point at which Parmak and Garak are legitimately living together.
• Garak using the modified holodeck technology to relive past events.
• Kel Lokar.
• Different and less depressing ways Garak learns to build memorials.
• Reasons Pythas could not stay in contact, and why Garak never went looking for him. 
• Also, just how in love Garak was with Pythas (and everyone else at the Institute)
• Gul Madred’s determination to make everyone (more) miserable. 
• Self-healing vs. having a support system. 

And then some other things I threw in just because:

• trans Julian, gnc Parmak
  
• thinly-veiled threats at the Cardassian science/military binary (mostly at the hands of Garak and Parmak.)
• Cardassia as a whole coming to terms with the idea of poly relationships instead of all continuing to be unfaithful to each other, like it’s a universal issue over there or something (Parmak has the solution, bless him)
• war orphans
• themes fit for a repetitive epic
