This is my song for immediately-post-finale Julian. He and Ezri are together, and it’s lovely. He misses Miles, but they talk often; it’s fine. And Garak…

Garak is gone.

And Julian never expected to miss him this much.

Liar, traitor, cheat, with no one’s best interests at heart but his own… or perhaps Cardassia’s. Committer of acts nearly unforgivable. Keeper of secrets. Listener who gave so little back… hell, every time Julian got near him, he got bruised.

The idea of those bruises fading is… unthinkable.
