Black Bottle
by Angie (Hermit), 2006
It was just a shared meal. Julian and Garak have been doing this for six years, talking over lunch or enjoying each other's company over dinner. This night should have been no different, but six years worth of unspoken words and unexpelled emotions threaten to break out all at once and set the two of them at each other's throats. It's not all cut and dry though. There are reasons for Garak's reticence which Julian will discover, and Garak will discover that there is no predicting when love will drop into your lap.
