Fandoms collide: I recently realized that Joan/Sherlock and Bashir/Garak are actually the same relationship.

Bashir and Watson:

• Are really excellent doctors
• Have secret pasts that endanger their ability to practice medicine
• Love their parents, but have massive parental approval issues
• Want badly to understand their mysterious counterparts (and are willing to violate patient privacy a bit to do so)
• Are often underestimated
• Are adorable badasses who get shit done

Garak and Holmes:

• Are considered experts, even geniuses, in their specialty
• Have jobs full of danger and death and lies
• Are recovering addicts
• Live in a foreign place
• Are secretive about their pasts
• Sometimes tell emotional truths through lies
• Have cold, manipulative jerks for fathers
• Take delight in annoying their doctors
• Have artistic skills which seem ill-matched to their trade
