Summary
The choices we make, or others make for us, change who we become. Or do they?
Julian Bashir was meant to be a doctor. But when his augment status nearly comes to light at Starfleet Academy, he pivots—quietly, strategically—into engineering, hiding among Starfleet's remote outposts. His latest assignment: a contested Class-P planet, where the days stretch to 27 hours and the company is limited to a handful of observers… including one Garak. Charming. Cryptic. Dangerous?
Cut off from the rest of the galaxy by atmospheric interference, Julian finds himself navigating more than the frigid planet surface. As he and Garak find themselves in close quarters—and closer conversations—the outpost begins to fail. Hidden agendas surface, and a fragile alliance may be the only thing standing between survival and ruin.
A ‘butterfly flaps its wings’ AU where Julian and Garak cross paths years before the events of DS9.

Summary
Perception, Garak knew, was everything. It mattered far more than truth, however one defined that slippery concept.
For example, the perception that the room was moving around him. Spinning, endlessly. It was not the truth. There was nothing wrong with the station’s gravitational orbit. He knew this, and yet the perception of it kept him pinned to the floor.
For another example, the perception that Julian had abandoned him here.
***
Garak's implant starts leaking pergium into his brain while Julian is off saving lives on Teplan. Fortunately, he has more friends than he realizes.

Summary
Garak had always felt that, in more cases than not, there was a greater pleasure in the wanting of the thing than in actually having it. Julian Bashir was certainly testing the limits of this belief.
