Ship asks for @loathsome-aesthete , who had a lot of fine questions for me <3
I decided to answer them all in separate posts instead of all in one. I feel better, when I post the finished asks immediately, makes me feel like I accomplished something.
So here is ship post Nr. 1/8 for you! <3
Ship that needs more love
Damar x Weyoun
SUCH A MISSED OPPORTUNITY
Their dynamic could’ve developed in so
many different interesting ways, based on their common ground, but
it’s never used in the show and the ship doesn’t appear in fan works
often enough. Both is a shame.
Some thoughts:
Damar and Weyoun 5/7 are enemies with benefits. They are on the same side, but they hate each other but they bang each other. Until Damar defects just to meet Weyoun 6 on the other side (and with other side I mean the federation, not afterlife, since none of them died, of course.)
Naturally, they are not fond of each other at the beginning. But they are bonded by the fact, that they both defected. They don’t want that bond, but they have it. And it allows them to talk with each other in a way they can’t with anybody else. Probably they start from spite, just to end up realizing that they have more in common with ‘that awful person’ than they want to admit.
Imagine Damar coming dangerously close to relapse into alcoholism, after hundreds of Cardassians die in a battle against the federation, the side he’s on now. He goes into a bar (Quark’s probably, since everyone’s always hanging out on DS9), just to meet Weyoun 6, who has the opposite problem. He’s searching for a substance, that eases his feelings of guilt and pain, but nothing has any effect on his body.
They notice each other, start to make fun of the other’s problem and kinda slide into a more serious, less spiteful conversation about addiction and reasons for it. They learn things they never wanted to know about someone they despise. But now they do and they can’t help but start to feel sympathy.
Also I want Weyoun to ask Bashir for some handy hints on how to please your scaly boyfriend in bed. Before Bashir gets a chance to answer, Garak appears out of nowhere (we all know he has that ability) and suggests, that 'Showing and learning by doing would be way more effective than talk’.
And then they have a foursome. C:
