Shout out to that one ensign on deep space nine who we never see on screen, but ever time they mention him its because he just gave birth, and they make sure to put his pronouns in that conversation as many times as possible.
At long last! Behold the sequel to “We Are Beginning” and the second longest piece of writing I have ever finished!
Summary: Julian returns to DS-9 after promising Garak he would return to help Cardassia no matter what. Garak begins to pick up the pieces of his shattered homeland never expecting to see Julian again.
Will Julian follow through and can he accept his choices?
🎶
Let’s go in the garden You’ll find something waiting Right there where you left it lying upside down When you finally find it, you’ll see how it’s faded The underside is lighter when you turn it around
🎶
Picard- No but he’ll recommend you a wine pairing.
Riker- He believes he can but NO. Also he takes the tray out of the oven with his bare hands.
Geordi- He can if he tries really hard but he thinks cooking works like mathematics and ends up creating the weirdest Frankenstein food accidents. “It just doesn’t add up, my calculations were accurate…”
Data- Yea he just downloads the Gordon Ramsay DLC cookbook pack for robots and creates perfect meals every time, is forced to stop after he calls someone a “fucking donut”
Crusher- She makes the worlds healthiest meal and it tastes like paper. She can’t tell how bad it tastes and doesn’t understand why nobody likes her “fun pizza”
Troi- She has never touched an oven or washed a dish in her entire life and you know it.
Worf- Can cook somewhat but he gets too worked up over it. He spends hours trying to get it perfect and then trips and drops his omelette on the floor.
Tasha Yar- No and that’s okay. I love you Tasha Yar.
Sisko- Best cook around and everyone knows it. Some random people make excuses to walk by his quarters after hours because there’s ALWAYS a different great food smell coming from there. If only they knew that he’d happily invite them in for a bite.
Kira- She understands basic food science better than her actual ability to make it. She’s got the life skills to get nutrition out of a rock and two pieces of string but let’s just say it needs salt.
Bashir- Yes but it’s a hit or miss. He has a good understanding of how cooking works but there’s a 3/10 chance he’ll get distracted and burn the pizza to a crisp.
Jadzia- She’s lived 7 lifetimes so she really should know how to cook. And technically does, but at this point she does not care and is just fucking around. She will make spaghetti and M&Ms jello just to mess with Benjamin and he will cry.
Quank- Hell yeah and he always adds a personal twist. His food is not always for everyone since he uses lots of Ferengi cooking techniques, but he secretly loves to personalise meals for each person and watch as they enjoy it.
O’Brien- He can cook one meal. But only ONE. He sticks to it because it’s safe.
Odo- If you give him a couple of weeks to study the art, he will cook the most elaborate meal you ever had in your life. IF you are patient.
Garak- Yes because don’t you know he used to be a professional chef? True story!
Jake- With his dad around, who needs to cook?
Every other child on the show- If they work together, they can put dinosaur nuggets in the oven. Wesley gets extra credit because he can make ramen noodles.
Q- He’s been alive for billions of years and refused to cook for that entire time. But he can turn into a giant croissant.
