And goes into really nice chewy detail about how he figured out all the dimensions, too. <3

Summary:
O’Brien and Bashir are caught up in the events of In The Pale Moonlight. And there’s nothing they can do about it.
Somewhere, Sisko is losing sleep over the finer points of morality. Somewhere, someone is telling Garak he can have a data-rod but only for eight-five litres of bio-memetic gel. And far beyond all that… Benny Russell is dreaming about what people do when time rolls on, but change never comes.
Absolutely, bar none, without question one of the best fics I’ve ever read.
Analysis of being a background character, a supporting role, fulfilling a function… and what does that mean, morally? Does one have a moral obligation when one can’t make choices?
Good God.
Oh, wow, a) it’s Garak being all hey I’m gonna shoot you and Quark being all exasperated about it, and then it’s b) Garak being all hey now I’m not going to shoot you! and Quark is happy and totally forgets it was even a thing?? and ALSO c) the comments on this video are fucking hysterical, like–
