I was wondering... Do you know of any other well made Garashir fics centered around raising children? More along the lines of the one fic where Julian takes in the Cardassian orphans from Bajor. I really enjoyed that one because of the humor (poor Julian, people assuming he's courting his new daughter), the pacing, and because I felt it was in character and not super mushy-- which I feel sometimes happens when writers tackle the ship. It felt believable to me.

Yes, I do know of few. Of the ones I have in my spreadsheet/database so far, here’s what I have:

Garak Bashir Mysteries

This EPIC series (over 300,000 words) includes, among many other elements, adoption as well as an orphanage. It’s so long, though, I warn you, you may want to pace yourself :) And it’s while before you hit the kids, but definitely they are built out characters. (Eventually I will post a review of this.)

There are definitely more, some sentimental, some not. I am building my list and as I do, posting review. It’s going to be a long time until I post even the ones before I started this blog.
