The dynamic of the jaded spy with an absolutely wrecked moral compass and no meaningful relationships of any kind, living in exile and staying alive out of pure spite and the naive young doctor playing nonstop hero fantasies in his head and loving everyone even when he annoys them and never seeing a problem he doesn’t jump to fix is just 🤌🤌🤌
I think my favorite thing about the Dr. Julian Bashir/ Garak relationship (so far- I’m in mid season 3) is how genuinely amused Julian is by Garak all the time. Like he just thinks Garak and his Spy thing is the funniest fucking stuff he’s ever dealt with. In Civil Defense when Garak is trying to hack into the Cardassian system and Julian is laughing at him for still pretending to be a “simple tailor,” or literally any time he interacts with him ever. Or at the end of The Wire he ends that conversation with an exasperated smirk on his face of pure amusement.
It’s kind of delightful how, after their first meeting, Julian decides he is simply no longer afraid of this Cardassian super spy and instead thinks he’s just hilarious is such a funny character move.
Not soulmates but it always had to be them and they weren’t destined to be together but they were doomed to be but also it took everything for them to get here and also it was never supposed to happen but also it always was and had to happen this way. Hope this helps
