Summary
He asked Julian about them, that first time. The only time. ‘You know how Klingons are,’ Julian shrugged. And certainly Klingons lived rough. They ate rough, celebrated rough, fought rough with bat'leths and fists, and boasted rough in whatever vigorous physical activities they considered recreational.
And when Julian moved and tried to hide his stiffness... well.
Klingons were an enthusiastic people. Everyone knew that.
A story of bad communication that asks the age-old question of: ‘is it cheating when you don’t ask your husband to stop sleeping with his Klingon Warrior Bond buddy because you don’t think you have the right to ask, he doesn’t stop because he assumes you’d tell him to stop if it really bothered you, and then you both communicate about it badly for years?’

Summary
"You're not Jules Bashir,” it says it gently, like Julian might spook. “He died on an operating table when he was six years old. They scooped him out and poured you in, and you've been pretending ever since." It moves closer, and Julian notices its footsteps don't quite make the right sound against the floor. "Can you remember being Jules, Beautiful Thing? Really remember?"
Julian can't.
Or: Julian has always known he's built, not born. How can The Stranger— master of things pretending to be human— resist such a perfect offering?
(DS9 setting with TMA fear entities. TMA knowledge not strictly needed to read/understand. If anything, it'll read like a particularly trippy 'planet of the week' episode)

Summary
There are places in town where the air feels wrong now. Yoshiki notices it first near the train station, a prickling unease that makes him want to cross to the other side of the street. Then by the convenience store. Then near the old shrine path.
‘Hikaru’ notices him noticing. "You can feel ‘em," he says, pleased with that childlike wonder.
"Feel what?"
"The ones I've caught for ya." ‘Hikaru’ takes his hand, and it feels like Hikaru. "Wanna see?"
Is it cruel for a cat to play with its prey? For a shrike to build its larder? Some gifts cannot be assigned morality, as intertwined with instinct as they are.
Hikaru gives a gift to Yoshiki. How can Yoshiki do anything but love him?

Summary
Captain Tomis Andelic,
Robertson informs me I should begin this letter with pleasantries and household updates, but to hell with that that. The household is a disaster and I'm miserable, so there's your damn update.
A general and his aide-de-camp correspond over distance. They do actually miss each other.

Summary
There were no tears in Mitrev's eyes. That was without doubt, because Mitrev did not cry. He hadn’t cried since… well, he couldn’t remember when, which meant it was long enough to define him. He was not a man who cried. He was a man who had been called a name he had not heard in years by a medic in a military hospital while a razor moved under his jaw, and there was moisture at the corner of his eye, and therefore Talvela had cut him.
That was the only explanation.
Mitrev receives better care than he expects as a prisoner of war, but does not know what to do with unexpected tenderness.

Summary
Virginia looked at the stacks of food that consumed their kitchen. "Wolf. What is this?"
"Food that won't make you sick!" His grin was bright with pride. "I went to seven stores. Seven! The man at the bodega said crackers, the woman at the deli said bread, the boy stocking shelves said bananas, so I got all of it. Everything!" He cast his arms out at the bounty. "Now you can eat!"
Virginia navigates home with Wolf and the rapid approach of their baby.

Summary
Julian scrolled through another batch of reports from Cardassian space, processing information at speeds that would make a lesser man’s head ache.
Finding the Cardassian was a statistical improbability bordering on fantasy. A needle in a planetary haystack had a better chance of being found. It was impossible, by any reasonable standard.
But Julian had never been particularly reasonable when determined.
Agent Bashir is determined to find the Cardassian. His Cardassian. He just might have stumbled upon the right needle.

Summary
I understand your decision regarding our relationship. These things happen, and I don't harbor any ill feelings about it. However, I was wondering if you might be willing to continue our correspondence anyway. I realize that might seem like an odd request given the circumstances, but the truth is that receiving letters helps quite a bit over here.
Utivich doesn't begrudge his (ex) girlfriend. Only, could they keep up their correspondence chess?

Summary
"—and she would grab me just here," Courfeyrac was saying, recounting some tale of his nursemaid that Enjolras had only been half attending to, "and drag me back to my room so I thought my scalp would come clean off my skull—"
To demonstrate, he reached over to where Grantaire lay nearest him and took hold of a section of his curls, giving it a firm tug as his nursemaid presumably had done to him decades prior.
The sound that emerged from Grantaire was… unexpected.
Enjolras discovers something that Grantaire... likes. He explores this, to its natural conclusion.

Summary
Actually, shit, don't tell Mom I said any of that. Don't tell her any of this. She doesn't need to be thinking about me and bullets in the same sentence. Just tell her I'm fine and making her proud and I'm thinking about her.
Omar offers advice to his baby brother about the corner store, Mom, and swimming. Some of these weigh on his mind more heavily than others.

Summary
"Suppose I owe you a bit of an apology," Aldo said another hour later, and Utivich blinked a few times, shaking himself out of his meditative state. "Bout not keeping my promise ‘n all."
"Wasn't a promise to me."
A slight tilt of his head, shrug. A sign of guilt on a lesser man, except Aldo Raine was not a lesser man. "Thing is, I got busy. Earl let my roof go to shit while I was gone."
Six years after the war, Aldo shows up and asks a favor of Utivich he really has no right to ask. Utivich hops into Aldo's truck anyway. They'll talk, or they wont. Either way, it's a long drive to Nantucket Island.

Summary
Perhaps when this is all finished, I will be able to explain. Though if I am honest with you, Liebste, I am not certain I would want to explain even if I could. I have worry it would change how you see me. I know you would tell me that nothing could change your love. But I would prefer not to test this.
The sights of Occupied France bring back difficult memories for Wicki. There is only one person who can understand.

Summary
Julian's heart pounded. Garak's eyes searched his face, and then his lips parted and a rumble emerged.
His eyes were too wild, too unfocused. His weight pressed Julian into the hard ground, and Julian felt every sharp edge of rock beneath his shoulder blades, his spine. A piece of gravel bit into his hip, and when he shifted to ease the pressure, Garak's grip tightened. A low sound built in his chest—a primal growl Julian had never heard from him before.
Oh God, Julian thought, his pulse thundering in his ears. What have I done?
The DS9 crew crash-lands on a planetoid that has a strange effect on Garak, reverting him back to a feral state. Thankfully, after all their holosuite hunts, Julian knows what to do.
... Julian hopes he knows what to do.
(Can be read standalone, but if you like Cardassian hunt/chase sex games, this is the series for you)

Summary
Bashir is everywhere, and it should be suffocating. He’s above him, against him, inside him. His body lines Garak’s; he is utterly pinned from toe to fingertip. Even his face is pressed against his as to block from everything from his view except the small gap between the mattress and the plane of Bashir. His cheek, absent of that curious scratch that had taken residence upon his face at the camp muffles the world and puts it at a distant remove. The world has narrowed to the small, dark space carved out between body and mattress and blanket; to muffled breaths and the steady, unyielding press of flesh.
-
Or: After Internment Camp 371 Garak is cold. Bashir warms him. It would be nice; only it’s a pity Garak was never meant to be granted anything. -

I expect the county fair's comin up again round about now. You tell Darlene — and I mean it this time — do not put so much damn clove in that peach pie. I know she's gonna do it. She does it every single year.

Summary
"Oh, Jesus Christ," Miles said.
"Oh my," Kira managed. Sisko had only heard that tone from her a half-dozen times.
"What?" Sisko took a step forward. "Is Doctor Bashir injured?"
"Not... exactly.”
"Could someone please—" Julian's voice was tight. "If you could just remove the blindfold. I can't… reach it."

A unknown vessel's approach results in the DS9 senior crew getting emergency beamed to Ops in the middle of the night. Perhaps a notification system would be of value moving forward.
