Lost my drawing mojo this week - so just a quick imperfect sketch - otherwise I try too hard and fail the trick is not to try too hard … it’s called “hello Garak”
I’m here to tell you that I’ve posted a 27k fic entitled Kukalaka POV, in which Julian is trying to reconnect with his abandoned Muslim heritage. He’s secretly fasting for Ramadan, and Garak WANTS TO KNOW WHY JULIAN’S SKIPPING THEIR LUNCHES. They then talk about theology and cook for each other. It’s cute and nothing bad happens.
Oh, and the whole thing is from Kukalaka’s perspective. (Pictured above: outer space’s best teddy bear gets a fancy new outfit.)
You don’t need to know a single thing about Islam to read this fic. It’s for everyone!
biggest takeaway after purgatory’s shadow/inferno’s light rewatch is if garak had seen julian stab that jem'hadar in the fucking jugular he would not have been able to control his horny levels. they’re fucking in the runabout as soon as autopilot goes on. everyone else just awkwardly backs out of the cockpit and never speaks of it
“I let him mold me, let him turn me into a mirror image of himself, and how did he repay me? With exile. But I forgave him. And here, in the end, I thought maybe, just maybe, he could forgive me”
no but remember how miles said the changeling was “easier to get along with?” this is garak trauma dumping and julian being like actually that’s stupid :) unconditional love is good actually :) and garak is like oh my god it’s really him. that’s really him. that’s my doctor. that’s my julian arguing with me like he used to 🥹 and that’s why he looks like he’s about to kiss him before martok walks in
underrated garashir moment in 6.01 a time to fuck stand when sisko is getting migraines from that google glass thing he’s wearing on the jem hadar ship and garak is offering to wear it instead since it might be more compatible with cardassian physiology but sisko is like “just speak quietly” and garak starts talking and julian looks at him and goes “shhhh” finger to the lips and everything. very cute
