Summary
Garak absolutely does not have time for the flu. There are peace summits to plan and plots to foil, and no matter what Julian says, there is definitely something fishy afoot.
Or: It’s the classic Parks and Rec episode “Flu Season” except Leslie is Garak and Pawnee is Cardassia and the Harvest Festival is a peace summit to renew the treaty with Bajor. What could possibly go wrong?

“Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.…” – Winston Churchill

Summary
“Is this about the choking thing?” Shane asks. “I only said no to that because I’m not letting you compromise my fucking airway during sex.”
“But it is not compromising your airway when my dick is in your throat?”
“No. This is why you lost today, because that’d be my esophagus, not my trachea,” Shane corrects. He’s such an asshole sometimes, Ilya loves it. “Anyways, I don’t think we do anything kinky?”
Ilya abruptly feels like he’s lost the plot. “Hollander, I am pretty sure we do.”
shane has a bad call. afterwards, ilya makes sure he gets what he needs.

Summary
“You are not broken, Ilya,” Terry says, sounding a little stern now. “I told you to keep an eye on the side effects. How long have you been experiencing this?”
“Since last night.”
“What?”
“Since last night,” Ilya repeats. “Or afternoon, technically.”
And Terry…Terry fucking laughs.
Ilya is going to die, and Shane will be sad forever and Terry fucking laughs.
“It hasn’t even been a day?” Terry clarifies, still chuckling. “Well, this could have nothing to do with the medication. It could just be an off day—”
“Off day?” Ilya repeats incredulously. “Have you seen my husband? There are no off days with an ass like that.”
OR: Ilya starts taking antidepressants only to realise it's fucking up his sex life. And, he acts totally very chill about it.

Bookmarker's Notes
I love fics that explore, “what if Ilya had to deal with libido loss as a side effect of his antidepressants” because I do genuinely think that would fuck him up. This fic in particular nails it.

Ilya, meanwhile, mistakes every tender gesture for the kind prelude to an inevitable goodbye.
Or: Shane is living in a romcom. Ilya is living in a Russian tragedy.

Summary

Just Shane casually assuming he'll always have to share and never be enough for Ilya and Ilya horrified to realize just how resigned Shane is to assuming Ilya will never be satisfied with him the way Shane is with Ilya.

Summary
There’s a sign in front of Shane. It says Welcome to Scott Hunter and Kip Grady’s Happily Ever After in a cursive font that makes Shane think of Etsy. Shane’s stomach churns. He briefly squeezes his empty ring finger. He feels, all at once, like he might cry. Instead, he swallows, and breathes, and pastes a smile on his face, and marches his ass down to Scott and Kip’s fucking wedding of the century.
