Summary:
Julian Bashir wasn’t undamaged by his genetic enhancements- he was just far better at hiding it. The Lethean’s attack is the catalyst for the old darkness to resurface and Julian decides to play a dangerous game with one Elim Garak. Julian’s ambitions are far more than he can handle but will he realize it before it’s too late? Garak/Bashir with side bits of Bashir/Leeta and others. Alternate Reality diverging from 3x18.
This is a) really weird, b) really disturbing, c) really REALLY GOOD. I’ve always wondered what Julian might be like if he realized what he could be, if he wasn’t quite so moral… Apparently so has he.
There’s some dubcon in this story. Here’s the thing that apparently makes it palatable: both Garak and Bashir are playing each other. Each of them is tricking the other into doing the thing that they both desperately want to consent to. It’s a fascinating dynamic.
Fair warning: unfinished! (and i am so thirsty now omg)
