    Summary

    It’s a surprise when a Federation Starfleet officer turns up in the Dominion prison camp that has, to date, mostly contained Cardassian and Romulan intelligence operatives. Everyone knows what they say about Federation types, and about humans in particular. Martok has laughed along with all the usual jokes and never once expected it to become… relevant.

    Maybe all that Starfleet ingenuity and, well, ““creativity””, could be focused on solving the problem of how to get laid when you’re surrounded by enemies and can’t afford the normal, wholesome injuries that are an inevitable by-product of healthy, respectable Klingon sex.

    or

    One man’s extremely transgressively kinky sex is another man’s gentle life-affirming vanilla sex.

    Summary

    At the tail end of the Federation-Cardassian Wars, the Obsidian Order agent Garak is captured by Section 31 during a mission on Romulus. Their director offers Garak a chance to continue working to destabilise the Romulans – a mutually beneficial arrangement for both Cardassia and the Federation, wouldn’t you agree? And a far better option than rotting away in a cell for the rest of the war.

    The recruitment spiel is interrupted by an excitable junior science lieutenant babbling about how he just needs a few more super-heating plasma coils for his project, he only blew the lab up once, and the results are really, really going to be worth it, he promises. There is definitely something off about him, and he clearly doesn’t understand that he’s interrupting a highly delicate… interview.

    He is also the most beautiful human that Garak has ever seen.

    Summary

    Tekeny Ghemor is dead and Kira doesn’t regret attending his shri-tal and his final moments, despite everything. She’s nursing a drink at Quark’s when Ziyal decides that now is a good time to continue her increasingly clumsy and aggressive attempts at flirting.

    Kira’s gaze flicks between the crest on her head, the ridges on her nose. The pattern refuses to resolve itself. Cardassian. Bajoran. Cardassian. Both. Crest. Ridges. Kira accepts the offer of some ‘comfort’ and not once does her gaze come to rest between to meet Ziyal’s eyes.

    Summary

    Really, the conflict starts when Julian gets back from his second involuntary trip to the mirror universe. It was a perfectly reasonable decision to help that universe’s Garak gain political asylum in Julian’s universe. He’d helped him escape… broadly. Well, it was more self-interest than altruism, but everyone deserved a chance to better themselves and staying in his own universe would likely have gotten him killed. Definitely Julian’s being objective and his intimate relationship with his universe’s Garak isn’t influencing his decisions at all.

    The only thing that stops the two Garaks from killing one another when they first meet is the fact that Julian is literally standing between them and refuses to back down. The Garaks share three things: mutual distrust, the same taste in stubborn and hopelessly optimistic doctors, and an unshakeable conviction that they are in fact the same person.

    Summary

    Won’t somebody help me chase the shadows away…

    As much as Artemy wants to spend the night with his colleague, after the man makes an offer that they might take pleasure from each other if they're so inclined, when a butcher lays at last with his lover what will he see? A body to be caressed, or harvested? Haunted by visions of his place being to cut along the Lines, haunted by guilt over past choices, the Haruspex fears he won't be much of a close, intimate friend to Daniil Dankovsky after all...
