From “Hollow Men” by Una McCormack.

Who knew Sisko and Garak twisting each other’s words around could be so much FUN?

I’m on page 25 and I’m already giddy. Garak, you are the best at being the worst, but Sisko can handle you~~!

You're reading Hollow Men! I think you'll like it - I enjoyed it very much, though the B-plot's a little forgettable. As may be obvious Una McCormack is my favourite Garak writer, and I think this is the book where he's most like he is in the show. Not that I don't love post-canon Cardassia to pieces, but there's a lot of character development between the end of DS9 and, say, The Crimson Shadow. Plus it's just a very fun novel and might even inspire some fic~ (said Gabe, not hinting at anything)

Can’t wait. Random page flipping has yielded me a Garak who is in one sentence astonished by swans and in the very next bitching that Starfleet security didn’t break any of his fingers. You know. To show they’re serious.

This is very, very promising~!

Auspicious~~~

Two essays to do and three poems and a saint’s life to translate? The obvious answer is to procrastinate by rereading Hollow Men, and then drawing a shitty comic version of this absolutely brilliant little exchange.

Julian, dear, for all your inhuman intelligence, you really don’t know how to take a hint, do you? Jadzia knows what’s up, though.
