Mr “never let get sentiment get in the way of your work” garak and Dr “let’s sentiment get in the way of his work so much it leads to multiple counts of malpractice” bashir

unrealromance:

Just occurred to me, that scene when the station is trying to kill them-

Garak stands up, realizing that the targeting won’t hit him, as it won’t hit Gul Dukat, because they’re both Cardassians.

Julian says his name and Garak doesn’t even have to look, he puts out a hand and says, ‘easy, Doctor!’.

The fact that he KNOWS, without even having to LOOK, that Doctor Julian Sabutoi Bashir is about to throw his skinny ass into the fray because he thinks Garak is about to get shot– that this is ENTIRELY the kind of thing he would do, that he doesn’t even have to look to MAKE SURE that Julian is trying to scramble out from under/behind cover.

‘Yes, that seems the sort of thing the Doctor would do’. Just. From the damn get-go, he is aware of the kind of person Julian is and that his principles would extend to him risking his life for Garak.

The fact that Garak just rolls with it, shows that he KNOWS it’s a foregone conclusion that if a shot were coming at him, Julian would jump for him.

And god that’s ruining my brain rn.

So like once again this isn’t serious headcanon time I’m mostly goofin here but given the kind of disproportionate number of times we see Garak collapse. What if Cardassians have like, an involuntary Survival Thing leftover from being lizards where they sort of. Play dead. There are irl reptiles that do that when they’re stressed

Reptiles will be like “ok we are rolling over onto our back and lying there until it goes away” and he has no choice in the matter

Julian freaking out the first time, until he checks on him a bit better (because he kinda calmed down in between).

if you step on a cardassian’s tail they just fall over

charle1515:

I like how Garak really had the audacity to approach one of the Founders and go “Hey! Remember how my people tried to wipe out your people you a few weeks ago? By bombing your homeworld? Were there any survivors from the attacking fleet? : )”

god i love Garak so much. he can be such a dick sometimes, but all while maintaining that same polite and helpful smile he has when plainly serving customers as a tailor

starbashir:

once again thinking about how GOOD the damar kira and garak dynamic was and how their season 7 arcs were the best out of everyone imo

the-last-dillpickle:

To his deep horror, Julian discovers Garak’s cussy juice has the same taste and consistency as pureed beet.
