NO OFFENSE BUT I WANT FANFIC WHERE KIRA AND GARAK GO ON A FISHING TRIP AND CHAT ABOUT HOW THEIR RESPECTIVE CULTURES/STRUGGLES HAVE SHAPED THEM AS PEOPLE okay like where is it
maybe the fishing trip part isnt necessary but you get what im saying
The fishing trip is disgustinglyΒ necessary, and they need wacky fishing hats with a bunch of lures hanging off of them.
β¦.shit youβre right, what was i thinking
Of course, by the time they get back to the station, Garakβs telling stories about the 50 kg Andorian Trout he had to throw back, for fear that itβs absence would upset the local ecosystem.
Those loony Christian signs listing all the types of sinners who will go to Hell (ABORTIONISTS SATANISTS GAMBLERS FORNICATORS) always make me feel bad because I know I’d fall under a lot more categories if I just got out more. It’s introvert shaming, that’s what it is.
In my head Iβm always like β!!!! Daforge and Garashir double date !!!!!β But then I really think about it and it would just be Julian and Data talking on and on about everything under the sun and then Geordi sweating nervously, desperately trying to stay in tune with their conversation as Garak does that βIβm trying to creep you outβ smile at him the whole time
I can also see it the other way around. Julian and Geordi talk nerdy the entire time while Garak tries, and fails, to creep out Data who insists on trying to run his βsmall talk subroutine.β
data is way too open and unguileless with garak. garak starts getting veryΨ very, uncomfortable
After hours of innuendo and blatant hint dropping, things finally come to a head. Data: βHow are you finding the fashion industry aboard DS9 in comparison to back on Cardassia Prime?β Garak: βIβVE KILLED PEOPLE, YOU KNOW.β The entire restaurant: ββ¦β Garak: ββ¦β Data: βI am very sorry to hear thatβ¦ . Would you say that catering to a Bajoran clientele is vastly different than catering to a Cardassian one?β
Garak: βEspecially the liesβ
Data: βThat assertion appears to be paradoxical in nature. Would you mind elaborating?β
