Story: So the past week or so I’ve been thinking of doing a ds9 rewrite of sorts…Basically it’s just me shouting at Lemon about all of the things I WISH happened in ds9.
The biggest and most significant change would have been unjoined trill Ensign Ezri Tigan was reassigned from her position on the USS Destiny to be counselor on Deep Space Nine somewhere mid-season 5. Even though she had not quite yet completed her training (six months to go), Starfleet deemed her prepared enough to handle the individuals on DS9. And seeing how they were in the middle of a war, and DS9 is on the front lines- the mental health of everyone on board is of high importance and a counselor was desperately needed there.
Ensign Ezri Tigan finds out that DS9 has another trill, joined, Dax at that- and is surprised when Jadzia comes up to her wanting to be friends with this newcomer. Over the next year and a half the station’s two trills, despite their differences, they end up becoming almost inseparable…practically siblings in every way but blood
and then ezri has a glorious year and a half becoming friends with everyone and theN ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE WHEN SHE BECOMES DAX that scary klingon that jadzia married? SUDDENLY SUPER HOT that doctor she's kind of dating? SUDDENLY A /CHILD/ that captain....did WHAT WITH CURZON?!?!! but then when she DOES become dax she does it not only because she's the only trill who can take the symbiont but mostly because she respects and loves Jadzia and does not want for her and Dax to die so Ezri's whole joining would be a tribute to Jadzia to respect her memory .....and then Jadzia's memories would pay her back by letting her know that all of these people she ever ignored were SUPER HOT that's fair right?
