I'm not sure how much anybody cares about wips but it kind of helps me to keep going with things till I finish so there you go.Trying to advance this little by little during breaks from inking. These are not really the definitive colours but I'm trying to stablish some basic tones :)

☕️Kelas Parmak’s relationship with Garak 👀

Ohhhhhhhhh well foremost my heart makes that sound XD

Kelas and Elim. My beloveds. My absolute hearts.

I love them together. I think they balance well. Their story is so heart-wrenching and beautiful! Kelas is literally like the sweetest person but also the sort of kind that is strong and forged through fire. They are kind on purpose. And they see the best in Elim. They believe in Elim when he doesn't believe in himself 😭😭 And you know I think Elim gives Kelas hope. Elim IS Kelas' Cardassia. Bloody and painful but beautiful and deeply good, able to change, to grow, to transform and learn from past sins. Elim decides every day to turn his back on his upbringing and to do the best for Cardassia and Kelas loves him for it. They both hold that deep love for Cardassia and her people. In Crimson Shadow, Elim calls Kelas his "conscience". They really are a rock that Elim leans on and learns from. Elim is shamelessly attracted to kindness and competence and Kelas has both in spades.

Elim gives Kelas hope and love and a sanctuary, I think, in a way. Someone to come home to, someone to love, actively, on purpose. And someone to give them love in return, to remind them they are precious, and there is love and pleasure in the world.

Kelas gives Elim steadiness. A foundation. A sounding board. Someone he trusts to pull back on the reigns. Elim does not always trust himself, but he trusts Kelas. Kelas is kind and forgiving. Kelas is a good, a goal, to strive for. Kelas loves and forgives and accepts. Kelas also pushes back. They call Elim out and don't let him lie. They have infinite patience but also will not pull punches. It is beautiful to see and it is so good for Elim to have that. He needs that.

The first way Kelas knew Elim was in the worst way. Elim could never truly lie to them because they saw underneath everything. And still they fell in love. Still they gave Elim a chance! A second chance as he had been offered so few times before.

Their love is just so goddam beautiful, okay?? Please read ASIT and Crimson Shadow. I still need to read Enigma Tales.

Look what I finally finished!! This has been a wip since I finished Crimson Shadow and it finally decided to get finished tonight.

Relationship: Elim Garak/Kelas Parmak

Rating: E (tho it's maybe only a hard M tbh?)

Summary: When they are finally alone after being reunited, Garak and Kelas reconnect through sex, love, and forgiveness.

Mild Spoilers for Crimson Shadow, I guess. This is unbetaed, bc I couldn't wait XD

Another fic concept I will never write:

Based on Taylor Swift's "Seven"

Kelas and Elim were friends as small children. Kelas fondly remembers the girl they used to play with but cannot recall her name or her face.

Years and years go by until Kelas finds themself in an Order interrogation cell staring at hauntingly familiar eyes. They finally break, after four hours, when they remember where they've seen those eyes before.

Elim never forgot the kind sweet child he played with all those years ago. Upon seeing them again, he cannot bring himself to do more than stare.

Anyway Taylor Swift's "Peace" is Elim&Kelas' song

AU in which Julian breaks up with Ezri for Garak. But he can't leave immediately for Cardassia, because he has commitments on the station. He and Garak exchange letters and video calls. Meanwhile, Garak and Kelas are together. Julian listens to all the things they get up to together and he's happy Garak has Kelas but god it hurts to not be there.

Finally when Julian has concrete plans to visit Cardassia, a plague breaks out on Ds9 and he can't travel. He feels like he is slowly losing Garak until finally Garak tells him he doesn't love him anymore. They break up and Julian never goes to Cardassia.

I'm just going to say, the way McCormack keeps calling Elim and Kelas "friends" just smacks of "You have been, and always shall be, my friend" ykwim??

They are Star Trek friends.
