Another Garashir Fanfic Dump
A couple of people comment that they liked the format I used last time, once again, in lieu of doing a single post or separate posts with a lot of detailed reviews, here are a bunch of the Garak/Bashir from my trusty Google Sheets doc. Most of these are quite old but that just means they might not have been read by some newer fans. Several of these I thought I had rec’d already, but my sheet doesn’t show them ticked off, so I guess I missed them.
From Shadows to Sunlight
by Jade_Waters
Starting off as a secret relationship sexytimes-with-angst fic, it moves eventually into post-Canon territory. Jade is talented writer,
Give Sorrow Words
by Jade_Waters
really love this one, which is set after Garak thinks Tain and the Order has died in the ill-fated attack on the Founders’ home world. Plot-started is Garak, sleepness for days, wandering by Julian’s quarters. Julian offers solace that Garak needs. (Note: I actually did a podcast version of this one, if anyone is interested.”
Gift

AMAZING fic, with one of the best evocations of Garak’s beloved Cardassia I have ever read, but I warn while first half is lovely, there is a major WHUMP in this story. I won’t spoil it, but… it’s pretty heavy.
Flexibility

Porn-without-plot with Garak in charge.
Do You Really Need More Books?
by LadyVean
Short post-Canon Cardassia fic involving Garak’s quest to gather up the tattered pieces of Cardassian culture.
A Second Chance At A First Impression
By Olivia Monteith
Ancient (90s) fic set at Quark’s. Julian is striking out trying to pick up women, and Garak gives him some tips. One of my fav bits is Quark comparing Garak to Odo.
Triangulation
by Muriel_Perun
I read this one a few years ago, but as I recall, the basic plot is that O’Brien, Bashir, and Garak are captured by Klingons and kept in some kind of camp. They are there quite some time and in close quarters, begin to adapt. I -think- they end up in a love/sex triangle, though as I said, it’s been awhile.
Weight Worth Bearing

One of my all-time favorite Garashir stories and also one of the best hurt-comfort stories and LOVE stories in the fandom. If it doesn’t make you cry at some point, you are emotionally stunted, he he. (The short follow-up Cookies is also good, but it’s definitely something to read after.)
And Yet Content

Quiet Revelations

Touching hurt-comfort story set sometime in the last couple of seasons. I asked the author if I might record a podfic of it but they said it was too “personal.” It’s excellent.
Enjoy reading!

Really good stuff here.
Oh, I haven’t read some of these in ages. Some absolute classics.
As always, thank you for including some of my work on the list. <3
