Help! My Doctor is a Twink!

He/They - 28 y/o - Star Trek blog, if you couldn't tell. Art tag is #pal's art - I like to cosplay freaky little guys and draw/write about them kissing :)

had a dream last night that the hot new trek ship taking over tumblr was Julian/Janeway. 90% of the fan works were epistolary fic where Julian gets really into the idea of the doomed mission of voyager and sends Janeway fanmail once they re-establish contact, which rapidly turns into a steamy long-distance romance that brings them both much needed distraction from their respective spirals into depression and gives fans free reign to write Janeway going full cougar. and it was so hugely popular in my dream like every third post on the dash was about them

Chapter 3 of my soulmate fic is here, after a...not unsubstantial wait. Sorry!

Julian does vaguely sci-fi doctor things, Garak is insufferable, what else is new?

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.

[iamthecutestofborg]

I was making general TNG/DS9 memes but so many ended up being about Lwaxana that she just had to have her own post. Iconic. Love that for her.

You don't have to pretend with me.

[enarien]

[garaks-padded-bra]

Not exaggeration to say i think about this persons comment several times a week

Im gonna be so real can yall actually talk about ways we can support trans women in the UK instead of giving all the attention to fucking JKR. I already know that Harry Poter sucks, I wanna know how to actually HELP people. Something something you have to love the oppressed more than you hate the oppressor

[snowonthebeachmp3]

trans actual uk - trans led and run advocacy, education and empowerment organisation

fiveforfive - collective fund for trans women and girls and transfem causes

gendered intelligence - trans led advocacy org

mermaids - supports trans youth

akt - lgbtq youth homelessness charity

loving me - domestic abuse service for trans people in england

not a phase - for trans adults

[matamatoki]

Here's some from Wales

Trans Aid Cymru - supporting trans people in wales

Queer Emporium - hub of queer businesses and events

And ones who operate in Wales but also across the UK

TIN Wadrobe - supplying clothes for trans and gnc people

G(end)er Swap - resources and events for trans style and gender expression

[severalowls]

Adding some from Scotland I have experience with and afaik take donations, some are broader but with good trans inclusion:

Scottish Trans - Trans advocacy, information and social events. Run by the Equality Network, a broader Scottish LGBTQI advocacy group.

LEAP Sports Scotland - Sports charity that advocates for queer inclusion in sports, runs trans sports groups (Trans Active) in at least Glasgow and Edinburgh that I can absolutely recommend.

LGBT Health & Wellbeing - Not trans specific but includes trans specific, trans led and trans inclusive support and social events, and supports a variety of smaller community-run subgroups.

And another couple UK-wide:

Gender Identity Research & Education Society - Trans led charity supporting research on trans matters and education/training on trans inclusion. Does consultancy for public and private sector organisations.

Trans Kids Deserve Better - Trans advocacy and activist group led by and for trans kids. They do good work.

I think that Garak is nonbinary in the way that in his head, he's too old to be nonbinary so he's just kind of a fag

[garaks-padded-bra]

yes exactly and there is no universe in the infinite number of universes where he explores that

[dreamerdrop-deactivated20260528]

What do you mean there's no fic about Garak tied up in a cuck chair watching Miles O'Brien fuck Julian Bashir with wild abandon while both of them are making snide comments about how massive Miles dick is and how Bashir's face twists in pleasure with every thrust because Miles cock is stretching him out so much better than Garak could while Garak is practically shaking from the combined arousal of humiliation and jealousy.

Garak was late to lunch that day because he was building a bomb to destroy his shop. He was eating Delavian chocolates while he made it. He saw an assassin and knew for whom the bell tolled, but he still ate his chocolates, and he still went to lunch, just a little late. Because he was making a bomb to blow himself up with.

[cucumbermoon]

Just to reiterate, Garak’s to-do list that day looked like this:

1. Make bomb

2. Lunch with Dr. Bashir ❤️

3. Explode

[cucumbermoon]

I’m reblogging my own post again because I just remembered that Garak WASN’T HUNGRY. He went to lunch but he didn’t eat anything, because he filled up on chocolates while making his bomb. He also risked his life to go to lunch. There was an assassin loose on the Promenade and he wasn’t hungry. You know every second counted because he blew himself up the exact instant that he walked into his shop. He literally only went to lunch at all so that he could tell Julian how much he hated Julius Caesar.

I…. I can’t get this out of my head. I think I have to write a fic about it.
