Gotta ask: How do you think Julian would connect with Jake in siskoshir context? I think that could be very cute and powerful and sweet dynamic to explore?
absolutely! i love the episode where jake and julian are stranded in that war torn hospital; julian treats jake as a mature, fully formed individual. he never patronizes jake, but he’s still protective of him in a subtle, quiet way. i think for siskoshir it would depend on when they got together - but in any scenario i think jake and julian would have a beautiful bond. @nerdy-flower and i came up with the headcanon that jake and julian would become huge crossword puzzle nerds together and compete in sector wide contests. i also think they would bond over their uncertainty/wariness/concern for ben’s relationship with the prophets and how that relationship sometimes impacts his health. basically, there’s lots of avenues to explore!
Jake and Julian are such a good dynamic!! idk if i’ve mentioned this before or just put it in a wip but there’s a beta canon story that shows that Bashir is the one who suggested writing to Jake as a way to cope with the difficult stuff life throws at him - I’m just gonna put a quote here bc I love that idea so much (the story takes place shortly after Emissary on Bajor, Ben is trapped underground and Jake is understandably worried)
Bashir stopped and turned, offering him a small smile. “Yes, I know.” Then, as if an idea had occurred to him, the doctor opened his medical kit and took out a padd. He held it out to Jake. “I brought this along with me on this trip because I thought I might have some time to work on a medical paper. Why don’t you take it?” “What for?” Jake asked. “For you to write your feelings down,” answered Bashir. “Maybe it will help you to sort things out.” At Jake’s skeptical expression, Bashir added, “You don’t have to use it. Just keep it in case you change your mind.” Jake accepted the padd, murmuring an insincere “thanks.” The doctor nodded and walked away. Alone again, Jake resumed his vigil. His thoughts wandered aimlessly, taking him through a tangle of conflicting emotions. After a few minutes, he looked down at the padd in his hand and slowly, hesitantly at first, he began to write.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this has my ENTIRE heart bless you! this also makes me think of the siskos and neurodivergence and how maybe julian recognized a bit of himself in jake and encouraged him to write down his feelings because maybe it helped him in the past ;A;
(also, 2 more things: 1: if that photo has multiple fictional characters, all of the fictional characters in that photo will be your roommates. 2: for characters that can only live in certain conditions, those conditions will be ignored, and they’ll still be able to live.)
(sorry if you don’t like this content, I just saw one of those “fictional character in photo roll” posts and thought I would make one.)
