Hello! I write a lot of short fanfics, and I have a little tradition of making a big tumblr post about everything I've written so far whenever I reach a total of 10 for one fandom! I was expecting to be making one of these for Star Trek TOS first, but while I'm waiting for my assigned day to post my 10th TOS fic for an upcoming event, DS9 snuck into the lead! The following links are 70% Garashir and 30% shipping Julian with everyone else also, consider checking them out and I hope you enjoy. <3
My Ongoing Garashir Series
Apéritif (~2k words, rated M) - Garak doesn't directly appear in this one, but Julian confides in Jadzia about having a crush on him, and Jadzia basically doms him into heading off to go make a move already by the end of the fic, leading into . . .
After Hours (~3k words, rated E) - . . . some light bondage and other fun activities taking place in the tailor shop!
I have plans to continue this one with more about their relationship developing and also more of Jadzia being extremely helpful, so stay tuned!
Other Garashir One-Shots
The Greatest Adventure (~1k words, rated T) - A cute little missing scene in which Julian reunites with Garak after being presumed dead there for a bit in the season 2 episode "Armageddon Game."
Buy Me Dinner First (~3k words, rated E) - My favourite comment I've received on this fic was a friend of mine just saying "soft cock Garak my beloved."
Nobody Else Could Forgive Me Quite As Often As You (~4k words, rated M) - Some Post-The-Wire angst with a happy ending!
Late-Night Literary Studies (~7k words, rated E) - I put my encyclopedic knowledge of Sherlock Holmes to work in this one featuring their gay little book club.
Lessons in Humanoid Behaviour (~1k words, rated T) - And now for one in which Julian doesn't directly appear! Instead, Odo tries to understand a complex kink dynamic he and Garak apparently have going on, and mostly gets deeply confused by it.
Julian Slutting It Up With Other Members Of Starfleet Instead
Sweet Dreams (Julian/Data, ~2k words, rated E) - Inspired by the absolutely insane chemistry on display in that brief crossover from the TNG episode "Birthright Part 1."
Not in Front of the Klingon (Julian/Miles/Worf, ~3k words, rated E) - What if they fucked while they were in a holding cell overnight because of that bar fight they got into during the Ferengi workers' rights episode?
The Trouble with Time Travel (Julian/that hot lady he thought he might be related to in the tribble episode, ~2k words, rated E) - I thought this would be funny and a good writing exercise, what can I say
Hope anyone who checks any of these out enjoys them! I will be writing a lot more very soon and that is a threat.
The four most interesting parts of time loop are when the person kills themselves for the first time, when they kill someone else for the first time (in a fuck around kind of way, this doesn't count if they already were killing people outside of the loop), how they break the loop, and the weeks afterward where they loose their fucking minds in an entirely different, significantly more damaging to the world around them way. And yet I rarely see anything done with that last one. People leave time loops and are all happy go lucky 'oh boy'. Where's the grappling with people you know who will never know you? Where's the knowledge that the safety of the loop is gone, and you can't fix any mistakes you make? That's the good angst I want
I drew my own version of the "hahaha yes sickos" comic to express how I feel whenever my friends watch something I recommended to them (in this particular example, Lawrence of Arabia)
#mr o'toole's eyes aren't scarily blue enough. they need to sear into my soul
This is part of what I was trying to accomplish with them being one of two details that I coloured at all, but clearly I need to go bigger. I think I need to draw him again with the biggest shiniest anime eyes you've ever seen. And maybe colour them with like, sparkly gel pen
Okay so I made a list of 30 (well, 29 actually) prompts I am releasing into the wild. The point of this is that at least one of the participants are not having a good time.

I'm rewatching In Purgatory's Shadow for the literal 4000th time and the Garak/Worf dynamic is so underrated. I really love when Garak gets kind of annoyed at Worf because he hadn't managed to lose the Jem'Hadar ships and then basically tries to give him orders lmao. He's so annoying, I love him.
I love when Garak goes on and on about wanting Worf to write him a reference letter to get into Starfleet Academy before eventually telling him he was just lying to him for fun

“everyone is mad at me and they just won’t tell me” —> “no one has said anything about being mad at me and i haven’t done anything to warrant being mad at so if someone is silently fuming about me and not saying anything that’s their problem and actually quite weird of them and i can effortlessly move on with my life”
this took SUCH a huge deal of unlearning because, like so many of you, i came out of a home where being quietly in trouble WAS the default state, and i DID grow up not just with the assumption but borderline religious conviction that Everyone Is Mad At Me, I Am Bad, I Must Exist In A Constant State of Attempting to Pacify The Natural Rage I Inspire In Everyone. and no it actually turns out that my family are the freaks . and yours are too
“this isn’t true because i DEFINITELY silently fume at people in the hopes they’ll figure out what they did and apologize” that’s not good. you shouldn’t do that
“this isn’t true because the ex-friendship that traumatized me ended explosively after they were mad at me and never told me why” that’s not good. they shouldn’t be doing that
“i don’t think this is true because my current friend group is constantly icing me out until i figure out what ive done to upset them and properly apologized without being told” hey thats not good. they should not be doing that
if the peacefulness of your relationship with someone (familial, romantic, friendly, anything) can be destroyed by effective communication/asking them for effective communication, you have got to get out of there. if you can’t get out of there, you’ve got to throw away any ideas about what that person thinks of you because they have their own shit to figure out before they can accurately read anyone else
The summer between the end of high school and the start of college, I wrote a ridiculous play about pirates and put on a staged reading with some friends at an amphitheatre at a local park before a small audience of friends and family. It was never published or staged again. But I just got a message from an old high school friend I haven’t seen in years. He accidentally quoted the play in a conversation with friends, was asked what he was quoting, he couldn’t remember either, and wracked his brain until he finally remembered it was that silly play reading that we did one day in the park over 10 years ago. It made me happy. (The line was, “Huzzah for mercantilism!” by the way.)
A very tiny percentage of creators go on to be famous, but that doesn’t mean that people don’t remember little things you did for years and years. Who came up with most of the world’s most famous jump rope rhymes? Who coined some of the famous idioms we use in daily speech? Who made up ‘Jingle Bells, Batman Smells?” Somehow, all of these things stuck and spread around.
When I was a small child, I saw a high school put on a production of the musical HONK. In one song, the mother duck describes various dangers that her baby should avoid in the water, including fishing line, which could strangle him. A member of the ensemble played the role of fishing line, doing a maniacal laugh and over-the-top strangling motions, and I found it hilarious– and to this day, that’s an example I often think of when talking about how ensemble members can still stand out in theatre. The guy who played the role might not even remember that he did that, but I do.
I took Suzuki violin lessons as a kid. The teacher made up lyrics to some of the songs, and she let her students make some up, too. Now whenever I hear the instrumental of one of those pieces, I always remember these ridiculous lyrics about a skunk that we sang in violin class. I don’t even know which student invented them!
In middle school, I found a video about atoms parodying Bill Nye made by some kids for a school product. It probably had less than 1,000 views, but I think of quotes from that video all the time. They had a parody of “We Will Rock You” with the chorus, “Protons, neutrons, electrons” that I think about a lot.
I just love that this is part of human life. Our memories don’t just pick up quotes from great art, literature, and music, but little things, too.
"yesterday. the youth. they'd rather go to the JAPAN🇯🇵 expo. rather than celebrate our national holiday. our great and beautiful country. they buy. yaoi. yes you heard me right. yaoi. on the 14th of july our great nation's national holiday. on that day they buy yaoi."
The Brothers Karamazov Abridged, Part II, Book V, Chapter 5
Ivan Fyodorovich Karamazov: My dear brother Alyosha, you're the most pure and perfect boy in the world, do you want to hear a poem I wrote?
Alexei Fyodorovich Karamazov: Uh, sure?
Ivan Fyodorovich Karamazov: Okay check this out. The second coming of Jesus already happened, right? But it was during the time of the Spanish Inquisition. And the Inquisition said get the fuck out of here Jesus, we don't like you anymore. We serve the devil now.
Alexei Fyodorovich Karamazov: What? Vanya, what are you talking about? I don't think that even counts as a poem?
The devil Ivan is constantly hallucinating: Kill your father, Ivan
