TW for pregnancy, childbirth, PPD, generally rough circumstances for a pregnant character
Ok so I read your post talking about an AU where Julian taking on the pregnancy for Miles and Keiko’s baby and it made me think of the long-term implications of Julian carrying the O’Briens’ baby in terms of the timing; specifically, if he still got abducted and replaced by a Changeling in the final months of pregnancy (idk if a Changeling could simulate a fake baby but shhh let me cook).
So he still gets abducted and imprisoned while heavily pregnant, and greatly fears what will happen to the baby if the Jem’Hadar get their hands on him. Assuming he’s cis/didn’t surgically give himself the right parts for a natural birth, maybe he convinces Martok to help him break into a medical facility to perform his own c-section? Otherwise he’d have to give birth as quietly as possible in a prison cell, and then prioritize keeping the baby quiet and hidden (in the walls probably). Everyone finally makes it back to DS9, Miles and Keiko finally get to meet their actual son, and Julian gets the worst case of PPD after fighting for so long to keep the baby safe (which is probably exacerbated by the arrival of his parents shortly afterwards).
Oooooh, that's sure a heap of trauma to dump on him - I am so here for it 👀👀
You've got me thinking about how hard that would be though, to possibly be able to give birth without the Jem'Hadar noticing... What if he wasn't able to conceal it, and the baby's safety was held over him as a condition for good behaviour... What if the baby was taken and he didn't truly know if it was safe until Garak manages to lock onto the only other human lifesign in the camp and beam it up with them to the runabout...
Ah man, there's so many possibilities with this - thank you for sharing this idea with me! (And I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get to!)
[Also, if you're interested, here's a different concept of how Julian-being-pregnant-when-kidnapped could go, that I wrote a while back ;) ]
Just something that recently crossed my mind when thinking about Julian and his relationship with his parents.
Do you remember season 1 all-eager-to-please-puppy-Julian? Just imagine what an argument between Richard and season 1 Julian would have looked like. They did have a lot of differences in the past ever since Julian found out about his enhancements at the age of 15. But somehow I cant‘t really picture season 1 Julian opposing his father in more than a teenager kind of way. He might argue with his father over something but in the end he complies with whatever his parents tell him because he‘s so desperate to measure up to everyone’s expectations because he thinks that it’s the only way to earn their love.
Then take season 5 all-mature-and-grown-up Julian who knows exactly how to step up for himself and defend himself. He’s no longer willing to do as his father tells him. You can see in Sisko‘s office how much he‘s uncomfortable with his parents showing their affection for him. While season 1 Julian would have quietly endured the whole thing, probably feeling even guilty for not being the perfect son, season 5 Julian is ready to defend his newly made home against his parent’s intrusion.
And I just wonder when exactly that change in Julian’s attitude toward his parents might have happened. I mean, of course he grows up a lot during his time on DS9 but I can‘t help but wonder if there was something, a particular event that caused it.
If we take Julian’s statement in Dr. Bashir, I presume? where he says that he hasn‘t been home for three years that would mean that the last time he visited home must have been somewhere around season 2. It’s only my guess but Armageddon Game is set in season 2 where Julian is believed dead and Sisko passes on the news of Julian’s death to his parents. Most likely Julian visited his parents after the events. My guess is that that was the turning point in their relationship.

Richard: We thought you were dead. I’m so glad you’re here. Just imagine, all that talent gone for good. All that knowledge and all those skills.
Julian: We’re talking about my life! I nearly DIED. And all you’re concerned about is that my talent could have been wasted?
Again, it’s only my guess but it would make sense…
he's fine

Presenting! Fanart of the one and only super freaky Avra! Inspired by an idea from @kieranfae in the discord server! They mentioned it and I immediately set out to make it a reality, unable to resist. If you don’t already know, this chaotic disaster is the protagonist of Alexandra Rowland’s (@ariaste) upcoming fantasy comedy pirate novel Running Close to the Wind. It’s coming out in June and you should totally keep an eye out for it! You can read an excerpt of it below! I’ll be posting art of him and other characters from their other novel A Taste of Gold and Iron, which you should also read if you haven’t yet as it is absolutely fabulous.
