so garak/bashir is my otp and all and garak/parmak has, er, some problems (cough, three years in a labour camp, cough), but seriously, if you read the crimson shadow and didn’t come away thinking their relationship was absurdly cute, i may need to flail at you until you realise the error of your ways.
Morality Pet: Dr. Parmak is Garak’s Morality Pet. He openly refers to Parmak as his conscience, and seeks his presence when wrestling with awareness of his own personal history (which is questionable).

Summary:
“He sits at his desk in his warm office, brightly lit, his books around him. The scent of perek flowers, stems fresh-cut, drifts through the air. It’s quiet.
He’s fortunate to have this office, so comforting, so well fitted to his needs. He’s grateful for that. It restores him to have a restful place to hide from the rest of the worlds, to steal a moment for himself.
It is, after all, such a tiring business, pretending.”
They say absolute power corrupts absolutely. Elim Garak is rather of the opinion that this is the only thing he doesn’t have to worry about…
Just a vignette, set post-The Crimson Shadow by Una McCormack. There are mild spoilers for this book in this fic.
yeah you know it’s a pretty good read I’d recommend it I guess
