Oooooh. I’m grinning so hard right now. If you don’t write it, at least share what it would be?

Consider… vengeance.

Garak understands what was done to Julian Bashir. He feels two years in a Terran prison–hardly worthy of the name–is something of an inadequate punishment.

So when he’s introduced to Richard Bashir–formally, perhaps as his son’s partner, perhaps just as a friend–he smiles and shakes his hand, letting the touch linger…

…and when Richard wakes up the next morning, he isn’t quite Richard anymore.

Consider the treatment of mania. Or ADD. Consider sedation. Consider lithium or valproic acid. Consider smoothing out the rough edges… without consent.

Consider Amsha, wrapping her arms around his neck, kissing his cheek. “You’re so much easier to be with these days, habibi… I’m so glad you’ve mellowed a bit in your old age.”

Another teasing kiss, and inside, Richard is screaming.
