If you really think about it Julian’s the one, who has it easy if they ever get married. He won't have to go to Garak’s parents asking for permission to marry their son, and technically Garak doesn’t either, but Garak does have the challenge of trying to convince everyone in ops to let him marry their doctor. Imagine having to go on a bunch of side quests to get each of your partner's coworkers blessing and even after all that The Benjamin Sisko is your final boss. Tougher done than said.
Concept of Julian Bashir on Cardassia working in hospitals and constantly having like 12 Cardassian babies hanging off of him for the heat that he radiates. Then he goes to pick up dinner after work from a local restaurant and the cashier’s hand lingers when handing him back his food and just kinda holds his hand for a long time marvelling at his warmth. Then he goes home to his lizard man husband who attaches himself like an invasive species as they lie in bed to fall asleep together. Julian Bashir is content.
Okay I’m asking the real questions here:
I’m begging everyone to go back and re-visit the s1e15 “If Wishes Were Horses” on ds9 because oh my god-
Julian’s whole part in the episode is his crush on Jadzia but there’s a scene early on at like 10 minutes where everyone’s imaginations come to life and the whole scene is with him and imaginary Jadzia waking him up and kissing him and I cannot listen to the way he’s whining and whimpering into the kiss without imagining a garashir situation swap where Garak’s the one who runs his hands through Julian’s hair and kisses him non-stop and being all seductive and eventually pulling Julian down onto the bed-
And then later the real Garak seeing the imaginary Garak and Julian being very flustered meanwhile he’s just a smug old lizard.
The symbolism of Garak being an assassin who has taken many lives and Bashir forgiving him for it.
Paired with Bashir as a doctor who saves and heals lives and Garak falling in love with him for it.
Hello! I'm hoping you guys could share your favorite Bashir/Garak fics with me, any kind honestly :D
(Fic doesn't have to be centered around them)
Given that this gifset was one of the reasons I made my whole tumblr account, and in light of current beautiful Star Trek events, I’m reblogging this work of art
Andrew Robinson on playing Garak for the first time.
Something something something Andrew Robinson and Alexander Siddig’s convention performances walked so lower decks could run something something
Also damn, spirk and garashir in like a month? We’re eating so good
