DS9 Fic, The Ubiquitous Red

[aseret_kitsune]

It had been a hard morning, and Doctor Julian Bashir knew it was just going to be rougher from here on out. The war was taking its toll, physically and in people’s spirits. Even he, a usually optimistic man, was feeling the strain.

Grateful that he at least had a few minutes to grab a quick lunch, Julian went up to the replicator. He ordered a

Very creepy, and dare I say more hopeful than your last two fics on this theme? (At least nobody actually died/got mutilated, except of course Kukalaka... and there's an implication that Julian's going to get better now...)

Well done! :)

Thanks for the comment! I surprised myself with an almost happy ending in this one. I hadn't meant for it to turn out like this, but Garak demanded to have it his way, I suppose.

This is dark, but hopeful. I wonder will there be a sequel? More of Garak taking care of Julian. For some reason I can't get enough of this pair, especially when one is taking care of the other.

Thanks for reading and commenting. I don't think this one will have a sequel, but I have a few other fics in the works with this pairing. I love the hurt/comfort myself. :)

Always glad to see more fics for G/B. :-)

KUKALAKA'S MOUTH IS STITCHED UPWARDS IN A GHOULISH SMILE.

You really nail that creepy bear! This was great, gave me shivers in places, Kukalaka, and Richard's face on the screen in A's and O's.

:) I'm glad this story has done it's job. Thanks!

I really enjoyed this look into a descent into madness, with the hope of overcoming it through the comfort of friends. I did wonder, since things were worse in his quarters, or when he'd been sleeping in his quarters, if Julian was deliberately or accidentally been exposed to something in his room.
My only nitpick is 'staid' when I think you mean 'stayed' which threw me out of the flow of the story a couple of times.
Overall a very well done and creepy fic :D

Thanks for taking the time to comment.^^ I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, I always get confused with to use 'staid' and when to use 'stayed' instead. I'll have to go back and edit. Thanks for pointing it out.^^

I just dug this out of my "bookmarked for later" pile and, oooh, creepy.

I wonder what Kukalaka will do now. He is one spooky mofo. But he'll never get the drop on Garak. Mwahahaaa!
