Summary
Well, it's a bit of a complex sort of story. I mean, it's hard for a fellow to know where to begin. Was it when Dax finagled me into agreeing to get hitched? Or was it when my man Garak dropped callous words on my astounded ears? Or was it the hungry look in the Lady's eye?
Oh, it's no good: I'll just have to start at the beginning. Brace yourselves, and let Uncle Julian spin for you a tale that'll have your locks porpentinial in about two-and-a-half shakes.
(PG Wodehouse's 'Jeeves and Wooster' meets DS9's 'Garak and Bashir'. Expect ridiculous dialogue, giggle-inducing hijinks, and Garak to make it all right again after Julian's made it all wrong.)
Written by tinsnip. Illustrated by Lady Yate-Xel. (For more of Lady's art in this 'verse, may I suggest perusal of the tumblr tags ds1920s and what ho garak, among others?

Summary
Garak writes to Bashir. Bashir writes to Garak. The letters, and the spaces in between.
(This one got me called the Jane Austen of Outer Space, which I will probably get tattooed on my forehead. It took ten years to write and I’m tremendously proud of it. If you like dialogue, pining, dialogue, flirting, dialogue, and Cardassia, please enjoy!)

Summary
Garak grabs his wrist. Hard.
“Don’t look back. Keep your eyes on me.”
He’s going to have a bruise. He tries to tug away, can’t budge. “Garak! Let me go—”
“Trust me and don’t look back.”

Summary
“So, I’m to understand that you’re upset because — barring further daring heroics in the name of frontier medicine — you may only attain the average human lifespan?”
Julian inspects his own toes. “A bit, yes.”
After a moment, Garak says, conversationally: “The meteoric trajectory of your medical career may have to be compressed, I suppose. Carrington Award rescheduled for, what, forty-five or so? Admission to the Interplanetary Consortium of Physical Medicine bumped up to seventy? Now, don’t scoff, my dear Julian. If anyone can do it, it’s you.”

Julian's actions on Cardassia have bargained-for consequences, and Garak grapples with ghosts.Bookmarked by InnocentAlice

Summary
Garak picked through the detritus that remained of his shop, and considered his options.
It wasn't going to be easy. Of course it wasn't. The Federation had every reason to be exceptionally careful with the artifact the Bajorans had so courteously lent them—and every reason not to let a Cardassian in the same room with it.
(Set during 1.01. Garak receives an unexpected visitor—and is taken to an even more unexpected place.)
