After that last DD9 comic, naturally I had to draw something to cheer myself up, yeah? (I … think we’ll be back to your regularly scheduled aliens after this, though. Probably.)
Inspired, of course, by @ladyyatexel’s AU Garak and Bashir, her versions of ~significant (human!)Cardassian hand-holding, and also rather directly by the first chapter of @tinsnip‘s can’t steal happiness (although I moved the interaction to Deep Dish Nine, mostly because I felt the need to put Julian in his uniform).
