Summary:
Julian Bashir has been on Cardassia for six months. He thinks he’s adapted pretty well. But when it’s time to learn the language, he realizes he’s nowhere near as clever as he thought.
Set post-canon, about a year and a half after the series ends. Light stuff, with occasional dips into darker territory.
This is my favorite thing I’ve read in a minute.
This is awesome. Stunningly detailed world and culture building, with Garak and Bashir wonderfully in character and struggling to find effective compromise in their new life.
