Summary:

“Garak” is his public name. Anyone may use it. But “Elim” belongs to him. At least… it used to.

A little thing I wrote once upon a time. Grew out of the many discussions Lady Yate-Xel and I have had about Elim’s name, why he’s private with it, why he prefers Garak, how he might teach it to Julian. I find the concept rather potent.
