Summary
“You want to have sex,” Geordi had repeated, slowly and hesitantly. Data had in fact just explained this to him in detail, but he still felt he could be getting it wrong, staring up at Data’s wide, polite eyes, his hands clasped behind his back. There was cat hair on his shirt.
“Yes,” Data had said, nodding.
“With me.”
“Yes.”
“More than once?”Or: friendship, scientific experimentation and honest intentions have a funny way of paving the road to love.

Summary
He was no one’s choice of nurse, Garak reflected, even if Bashir seemed to tolerate him more than anyone else on the station did. Garak had been trained to inflict pain, not to ease it; to terrify, not to comfort. Bashir had shown Garak more tenderness and care than anyone had in many, many years, and the idea of trying to play that same role for the good doctor now was, frankly, a little intimidating.
Not trying at all, however, simply was not an option.

Summary
Escaping from Interment Camp 371 back to the Alpha Quadrant, Garak and Doctor Julian Bashir find themselves temporarily stranded on Brax, waiting for repairs. Their hosts are friendly, even if the universal translator struggles with their language, and it seems only polite to participate in a charming local festival.
***
"Well," Garak said brightly, keeping his smile on his face, even though Bashir couldn't see it, thinking of the jar Bashir had dipped his finger into. "This is awkward."
"I should've been more careful," said Bashir. "Oh, well, it's not too bad. It's not as if this isn't something that happens all the time. We had a seminar on it first year of Academy. You've accidentally married someone in an alien ceremony, what next? It's not like we intend to stay here." Bashir flopped back on the bed, damp tunic and all, and looked up at him. "I feel less worried about getting back in time than I should. I don't know if I'm just too tired, or it's something about this place. Oh, well. Let's discuss it in the morning." He pulled his long bare legs up and shuffled around into a more comfortable position, facing away from Garak. "Go to sleep."

Summary
"I tried," Father added, hoarse. "Tried to fix it."
Garak swallowed. It was unreasonably difficult to do it. His heart was hammering in his chest; his mind was oddly blank. He felt excruciatingly aware of Julian, unmoving, leaning against the far wall—of the weight of Julian's eyes on him. But he'd told Father they were alone. He could not tell him to stop, could offer him no excuse for failing to respond as he must expect—
"Is that what you were doing," Garak said, very softly.

Summary
Beyond the far reaching fingers of the Federation Julian Bashir survives on the kindness of strangers and reciprocal gifts. A place to sleep in exchange for the care of a sick child. A meal for a healed bone. Passage to the next station for sex. Introductions get easier as he travels further, and despite the ever lingering sadness of dreams dashed, Julian finds that he doesn’t mind his life. He rather likes being an intergalactic man of mystery, leaving questions, broken hearts, and healed strangers in his path.

Summary
Long, long before the events of Deep Space Nine...
Locked away and forgotten in a desolate Cardassian prison after a deal gone wrong, betrayed by anyone he considered an ally, friendless, hopeless, and what's worse profitless, Quark is starting to think the stars aren't made of latinum after all.
One day, solitary confinement ends early when the guards drop off a monstrous new roommate.
If this strange creature is half as dangerous as the rumors proclaim, this might be the end of Quark... or his biggest opportunity yet.
