Loves and stratagems

irresistible-revolution:

instead of the expedition to empok nor, the crew gets wind of a high-budget beauty contest in the quadrant where the winner is gifted priceless tech that o’brien absolutely needs in order to revitalize ds9′s operating systems. it’s an all gender beauty contest obviously, because this is the future. jadzia dax seems like the obvious choice but curzon was banned from attending and the ban extends to all future dax persons. cue the ops crew looking through their roster to see if they have anyone else who’d stand a chance (yes, this is the plot of miss congeniality, starring sandra bullock, dir. donald petrie, why do you ask?) and deciding julian is their best shot. julian, flattered, agrees - until he realizes (thanks to rom and leeta) how bad he is at walking in platforms/posing/ everything really. o’brien is the motivational coach, assisted by keiko. garak is roped in to make julian’s wardrobe. he’s reluctant at first until he’s won over when sisko and o’brien promise him “full creative freedom” with the outfits, and also when o’brien reminds him that the newly refurbished replicators will have a slate of kanar and zabu stew patterns. hijinks ensue.

[Transcript: Given the love of Star Trek by scientist-fans, it is unsurprising that many have dedicated elements of their work to characters in the series. Some examples include:

• A wasp whose individuals vary greatly in appearance named Phanuromyia odo, inspired by shape-changing character Odo in DS9;
• A beetle named Agra dax after the character Jadzia Dax in DS9 and dedicated to the actress who played her
• A hermit crab with a wrinkled belly area named Annutidiogenes worfi after the TNG/DS9 character Worf, who bore a wrinkled forehead;
• A clam named Ledella spocki named after TOS character Spock and having valves shaped like the pointed ears that Spock possessed in the series;
• Two DNA sequences that have the ability to copy themselves to other locations in the genome named Worf and Spock;
• A popular software package used for analysis of DNA sequences named Picard, after the captain in TNG.

Garak on Earth fics

conceptadecency:

Seeking Garak on Earth fics, Garashir or other. I can think of only a few off the top of my head:

HOA and The Missionary by @eilupt, two very cute vignettes of married garashir living in an insufferable Earth suburb.

The Accident by @zaan-zaan has some scenes on Earth in later chapters, with expectant parents Julian and Garak living with the Bashirs.

My own The Park, featuring Garak following Julian to Earth post-canon instead of the usual reverse situation.

I’m sure there are others. If you know of any could you please add to the list? Would also appreciate re-blogs a ton to help spread this around! 

My fic Homeward Journey has Garak staying with the O’Briens in Dublin.

Sometimes a family is you, your wife, your daughter, your alternate timeline cavewoman daughter, your baby, the woman who carried your baby, the woman who carried your baby’s gelatinous boyfriend, your boyfriend, your boyfriend’s lizard boyfriend, and the cat you adopted from a space mobster.
