DS9 Stories/News: DS9 Slash Couples (6) – Garak & Bashir
by Rinda DILibda
I’m sure I’ve linked to this blog before, but I love it and want to share more of the love. Some great nostalgic stuff in here.
Shooting your boyfriend in the neck: not sure if that’s Cardassian for “I’m breaking up with you” or “I’m on top tonight.”

Tain: I should have killed your mother before you were born. You have always been a weakness I can’t afford.
DS9 5.14 In Purgatory’s Shadow
And behold: the most fucked up way of verbally acknowledging your illegitimate son EVER.
And what’s amazing about this is that Garak gets it. Tain doesn’t come right out and say “you are my son” or anything so direct - he would never do that. So instead he says this awful thing that stabs Garak in the heart but makes him happy too, because he’s being acknowledged as his father’s son at last. (And in front of a witness, no less - even though Tain doesn’t know Bashir is there.)
Also, I love Bashir’s MIND = BLOWN expression when it sinks in that Garak really IS a “son of Tain.”
Doctor, am I making myself clear? I want you to buy a new suit tonight at 20:55. Exactly.
He. Wants. To. Have. Sex. With. Me. OMG. OMG. OMG.
Let me get this straight - I left you alone for like five seconds so I could go liberate my homeworld and you went and hooked up with the new Dax?!
IT WAS NOT A GOOD DECISION
A lot of hasty decisions are made when you think you’re going to die. Some are bound to be bad ones, especially during ‘I wanna feel alive and my boyfriend might be dead’ phases.
In the expanded-verse, Dax thought so, and ends up leaving him and going command.
She saw the writing on the wall when Julian started getting letters from Cardassia and every time he opened one he would go hide away in his study all day to read it over and over again and then mope for the rest of the week.
