hey– who are your favorite garashir/ds9 authors, or favorite fics currently updating? this is a fic rec solicitation post !!
I've got a few saved in my tumblr likes, but always looking to broaden my horizons. i'm still new here so feel free to rec me stuff that's established or niche or anything in between
Interests: cool worldbuilding, weird cardassian anatomy, slow burn, mutual pining. any rating welcome but primarily interested in E ngl, open to multishipping, open to darkfic / dead dove with tags, open to AUs. i'm still acquiring tastes for the ship/fandom, so any wordcount is welcome!
mainly i'm just trying to get a sense for who is regularly putting out cool/interesting work these days so I can jump into the present tense fandom
And another thing I find hilarious about Garak is that - he is such a snob.
Like, Quark's too vulgar and loud for him, close range fighting is "undignified", no one can set a foot on the station without having this middle aged Cardassian criticizing their fashion choice right in front of their Bolinian salads or whatever, he debates epic literature at lunch, he has had Shakespeare for like 5 minutes and he is already quoting it during life or death emergencies.
And it's absolutely hilarious because this man chopped up his countrymen for a living.
I find Garak intriguing because the concept of some one gentle forced to bé violent fucks. Someone who desperately wants to be good through kindness but was taught that isnt for him. That the only good he could do was carving flesh. But instinctually he feels that its wrong, that in becoming the Sword of god (tain) hé has lost something intrinstic and warped himself into something monstrous and it still wasn't enough.
''what if my writing isn't good eno--'' what if it's a reflection of your soul. what if it has a place in this world. what if you write it anyway
My brain every time I hear "Beshear".
Ok but can u imagine being a straight actor vehemently playing a character as gay and spending the next 30 years talking about how the character is gay in every single interview/comicon/video and even writing two plays and a novel about it, to finally get to voice act the character at the ripe age of 82 and canonically make them gay.
This is the life of andrew robinson. Winning out here for all of us.
