This is fantastic ✨ thank you for sharing it ❤️
Girl help, I made eyes at a twink and then he maneuvered his way around literally all my self-destructive mechanisms to find out how to treat my deadly withdrawal symptoms and then flew out to enemy territory with no safety precautions and interacted with my murderous father in order to get the data he needed to save my life.

I feel like knowing that Bashir is a super genius kind of changes the context of these earlier episodes a little bit. Like perhaps one of the reasons why Bashir was so beguiled and drawn to Garak is because he was a complicated mystery. While everyone else sort of was easy and made sense and didn’t challenge him Garak presented him with a puzzle to play with every time they spoke. I imagine that must have been delightful and stimulating for Bashir. Undoubtedly wildly attractive too. What is more attractive than someone who relates to you on your level or facinates you intellectually.
Just finished reading Enigma Tales and while it is an absolutely banging read (the best Star Trek book I’ve read) I was left with a renewed Garashir hunger. I don’t know why the top half of Bashir’s onesie star fleet uniform is wrapped around his waist so that his upper body is exposed. Don’t ask me. (Probably working in a garden for Garak or something whombst to know)
Based on the delicious @captaincrusher manip. We all know that moment in that med bay when Bashir was unzipped to half mast and Garak was just daring him to take it to full.
