“This choice was thematically appropriate but it makes me sad,” a memoir

I know this character had to die but what if they didn’t: the squeakwel

ofhouseadama:

the way. the WAY that tekeny ghemor refused to allow kira-as-iliana and then kira herself suffer from his “sins” against cardassia and her people versus tain using garak’s fear of him and fear of him killing mila against him to keep him loyal to tain’s very real sins against cardassia and her people. tekeny ghemor who believes fiercely that kira nerys deserves love and softness and to be whole and live a life not consumed by violence and war, because he has all this paternal love for iliana and his wife nowhere to put it. enabran tain who uses the lifetime of fear and obligation and guilt he’s built up to control garak in order to shape him into a weapon over and over and over again. kira’s devout loyalty to her mother’s memory. garak’s loyalty to mila and how she is used against him to keep him in line. will i ever recover

Tekeny adopts Kira. Kira and Garak co-adopt Ziyal. Tekeny is Garak’s adoptive-father-in-law(?). Garak finally has a Cardassian father figure who doesn’t suck absolute ass

decepti-geek:

listen i know Tekeny Ghemor canonically hates garak’s guts but like. he IS still the father of an obsidian order operative whilst himself being a dissident, presumably he and Iliana actually had some pretty significant ideological differences, and ultimately he didn’t give a shit bc he’s A Dad™. 

and the fact that he is A Dad keeps making part of me think about. some contrivance where he SOMEHOW discovers the circumstances of why garak was in the order in the first place (idk like, a Ghemor Lives au or something so post Inferno’s Light) and from then on it’s basically “kira, this is your new brother, i found him in the trash”. both garak and kira are horrified by this development.
