Summary:

Post-canon Cardassia vignettes, inspired by The Cure’s “Mint Car.”

Very light, very fluffy, very self-indulgent.

Hey, the world may be half-destroyed, but Cardassia rebuilds, Cardassia survives - and in the meantime, infatuation is a power unto itself. Even survivors fall in love, as Elim Garak is finding out. (Julian Bashir is pleased to assist.)

Fluffy nonsense, as promised. Great fun to write! There’ll be more as I work my way through the song.

And what a fun song it is… ahhhh!

For taejira’s giant prompt list of two weeks ago. Satisfying the ‘Lizard People doing Lizard Things’ prompt a bit, hopefully.

Atrociously fluffy, post-canon, pg-13 for bed-sharing and all things implied therein.

I love Garak/Bashir for many srs important reasons but also for the petty reason that it is secretly a very scandalous Edwardian novel

a lot of fanfic authors acknowledge this by writing it in a style I’d call Edith Wharton Lite, which is a practice I could not approve of more

I mean seriously they are courting over lunch and talking about ~*~literature and it’s all very dignified and hush-hush and Garak could be a former spy OR NOT and !!intrigue!!

not to mention Julian being all flustered and diligently overthinking his sexual orientation and agonizing over Garak’s moral ambiguity

it just makes me feel like I am 12 again reading The House of Mirth and swooning in a very sophisticated intellectual manner — except this time it’s gay and lizardly and in space, and I suppose I should say with less literary merit, though it’s really apples and oranges and ‘The Wire’ is a fucking masterpiece.

Okay, so, apparently there’ll be no porn tonight, but here’s a doodle of Garak tying Julian’s tie for him, because d’aw.

If you see this scene as something other than an awkward first date, you and I are very different people.

Shooting your boyfriend in the neck: not sure if that’s Cardassian for “I’m breaking up with you” or “I’m on top tonight.”

Okay, like - Garak/Bashir is a sweet and sadly tragic OTP, right? With lots of angst and why doesn’t he and why can’t I and just general melancholy.

Right?

So my Garak/Bashir playlist for the car (don’t lie you jerks you have one too) includes–

Avril Lavigne - “Girlfriend”

Anjulie - “You & I”

Ke$ha - “Your Love is My Drug”

Ke$ha - “Die Young”

Avril Lavigne - “Best Damn Thing”

Savage Garden - “I Want You”

among other guilty pleasures about being sexy and over-confident

and, like

am i doing this wrong?
