See, that’s what the app is perfect for.

Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

listen I played myself. “A Good Omens-based garashir AU practically writes itself,” I said. 

Now I’m deeply invested in this and I can’t decide which one of them is the angel and which is the demon.

Although actually, considering the spirit of the source material, that’s probably a good sign.

points for Bashir as the angel and Garak as the demon:

  • Bashir is from the Federation, and the Federation can be very Good Omens heaven tbh.
  • he can be, uhh… preachy. He heals things for a living.
  • Garak is from the Obsidian Order. They uh. Are kind of. “Love, bad. Kill people, good.” Funny old world, if Obsidian Order agents went around trusting each other.
  • He. Literally. Is a scaly reptile creature in vaguely human form and the place he hails from is dark and hot.

On the other hand!

Points for Garak as the angel and Bashir as the demon:

  • Garak owns a shop. He has a public identity that is extremely equated with his shop. There’s a lot of other stuff behind that, but the public identity is important to him.
  • Books! Food! Alcohol! Richly detailed, warm and comfortable-looking clothing!
  • Speaks in a slightly more formal mode. Sometimes even slightly stiff.
  • Bashir… saunters.
  • He’s the one who makes an effort to be suave, and the one who seeks out speed and excitement. He’s the one who’s always up on the latest tech. He likes to think that he is Cool.

Anyway

if I did write this I would probably go for angel!Bashir and demon!Garak because those are more logistics points and the second list is more about personality

so I sort of picture it being more like a “what if there was an angel like Crowley and a demon like Aziraphale” AU

I probably won’t write it though, I have very little time and energy to spare!

@tinsnip would you like to contribute ideas, write this, or attempt to convince me to write this?

tinsnip

oh my gosh, it’s perfect

and like? at first i was completely on the Angel!Bashir kick, like, it seemed obvious, but oh no, of the two of them Garak is absolutely the Aziraphale

this is charming

if there were two of me i would write this

as it is i will thoroughly enjoy its existence and hope that you fiddle more with it

tinsnip

okay, you know what you could do

you could do angel!garak watching demon!bashir flail pathetically around, trying to tempt people and failing miserably

like, he can’t seduce, he can’t insinuate, he straight up says “hey, instead of being such a goody-goody, how about you do something bad instead” and waggles his eyebrows and it’s just embarrassing

angel!garak is like, listen

if you’re going to be my adversary

here’s how to do it properly

(he’s been around a while. he’s never fallen. because he’s smart. he always stops short of actually saying anything problematic. he just smiles and watches. he’s seen a lot of demons come and ago. he’s thwarted them all. he is, after all, on the side of the angels.)

(gabriel is terrified of him.)

fuck. I was literally just thinking that you could do this with Londo and G’Kar???

I want Q to turn up on some Federation ship or station to bait the captain, only to find the captain literally does not care about anything Q does for attention.

Q doesn’t leave because he’s desperate for some attention and needs to prove a point by forcing the captain to pay him attention.

Eventually he settles into a pattern of tricks and annoyances to get attention but the captain ignores him so hard he only tries harder.

Everyone else puts up with snow on the bridge / conn or emus in the turbolift, an elephant manning the ops terminal and mariachi bands blaring a hello when they hail anyone.

Q begins to enjoy it. The captain continues to give no shits. The crew begin to look forward to the next weird thing that gives their day some fun.

The captain may or may not be Emperor Pippa
