So I have a garashir fic in my head that I will probably never have the energy to write about Lower Decks garashir and what if EMH Julian is not Doctor Garak’s first Julian. Like in the fic Garak meets his universe’s Julian because he stays on the station as a doctor and has to work with Julian who is still the Starfleet appointed CMO. They eventually fall in love and either have only recently gotten together or are on the precipice of getting together (I haven’t decided which) when Julian dies in the dominion war and not long after that Garak gets scooped up to join the multiverse crew. When he meets EMH Julian he sees him as a second chance with the man he loved and lost. Things don’t go as smoothly as he would like because while this Julian is still very much Julian he’s not his Julian, but the get to know each other and he falls in love with all the ways this Julian is different. And that’s the fic. I just keep rotating the idea around in my head and I can only imagine the fic as either a multi chapter maybe even multi fic epic that I very much do not have the time or energy for unfortunately or as a smaller fic of either Garak or Julian or both telling the story to like the Mariner the crew picked up in the episode or someone but that would heavily truncate the fic and not do the story I’m imagining justice so I’ll probably just never actually write the fic.
