Summary
Chris didn’t do the summer reading.
Why would he? FAE 200 was barely a gen ed in his course schedule, which meant easy tests and even easier homework. He planned on sitting in the back of the huge lecture hall, blending in with the hundreds of other students, and getting an easy A.
The professor looked like a pushover too--tall, even for an elf, and thin. His robes were stuffy and academic, covering him from his neck down to his ankles, and he glided along with an in-human grace, barely even bobbing with each step. His long, pointed ears extended over the top of his head, his straight silver hair falling on either side, and they twitched in irritation as he settled in front of the desk at the front of the lecture hall and turned to observe the clamoring crowd of students.

Chris Marshall didn't mean to come to such a diverse university and isn't used to being the only human in a class full of fantasy races. His learning curve becomes much steeper than he anticipated when his first Elven teacher curses a fleshlight to connect to his ass without his knowledge, sharing it with the rest of the faculty and teaching him the hard way how important it is to be open minded.

Summary
"What [Garak] will do, for Julian, later, is find out what those long ago, beloved animals were and use his tailoring skills to make a series of maligned plushies that gain inexplicable popularity across the station."
That quote inspired this art. Various residents of DS9 with their maligned plushies.

Summary
Julian has been working far too hard. Someone needs to ensure he takes a break—even if it breaks him.
There is a whistling snap as Garak tests it in the air, and every primordial instinct in Julian leaps to attention. His hair stands on end and he kicks, pure instinct. “Garak, what—”

Summary
The choices we make, or others make for us, change who we become. Or do they?
Julian Bashir was meant to be a doctor. But when his augment status nearly comes to light at Starfleet Academy, he pivots—quietly, strategically—into engineering, hiding among Starfleet's remote outposts. His latest assignment: a contested Class-P planet, where the days stretch to 27 hours and the company is limited to a handful of observers… including one Garak. Charming. Cryptic. Dangerous?
Cut off from the rest of the galaxy by atmospheric interference, Julian finds himself navigating more than the frigid planet surface. As he and Garak find themselves in close quarters—and closer conversations—the outpost begins to fail. Hidden agendas surface, and a fragile alliance may be the only thing standing between survival and ruin.
A ‘butterfly flaps its wings’ AU where Julian and Garak cross paths years before the events of DS9.
