Story Title: Way Harsh, Ziyal
Fandom: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/48883444/chapters/123318949
Summary:
When he successfully sets up two of his crewmates with fake love letters, Julian Bashir starts to wonder if he has a flair for matchmaking. He certainly loves the warm feeling he gets from helping others, even outside of his role as the station’s Chief Medical Officer. So when a new arrival makes her way to the station, Julian sees the potential for friendship — and, perhaps, more opportunities to try out his new skills. What better way to help Ziyal fit in on DS9 than find her a partner! Garak thinks he’s acting rather silly. And everyone wonders how Julian can see potential love all around him, but remain oblivious to the desires of his own heart. He’ll get there, bit by bit, with a little help from his friends… and the collected works of Jane Austen.
Emma/Clueless AU of Garashir, set vaguely during season 4. Expect comedy, misunderstandings, and mutual pining all over!
Warnings: Other than that it is M-rated and there’s a brief sensual scene at the beginning of chapter 15, none!
Characters: Julian Bashir, Elim Garak, Tora Ziyal, Jadzia Dax, Kira Nerys, Jake Sisko, Elizabeth Lense, Miles O'Brien, Original Characters, Minor Characters
Pairings: Julian Bashir/Elim Garak, Jake Sisko/Tora Ziyal, Jadzia Dax/Kira Nerys
When I Started:* 2020
How I Lost My Shit:* I got too busy with grad school and now, my job!
How I Finished My Shit: I made a schedule and even as I slipped from it, I managed to get it in before midnight my time on December 31st! I hope it’s not too late to accept it!

My dive back into my old FFnet favorites continues and I'm bringing some more recs here for anyone interested in them. Still giving them my own summaries to convey my own impressions of the fics.
As You Wish by YarningChick - A fusion of The Cat Returns and The Princess Bride. Haru is the fiercely proud daughter of a samurai who has vowed to marry none other than her sweetheart - not even his death at sea could change her mind. Unfortunately, the King has decided he is going to marry Haru, whether she likes this idea or not.
Haru/Baron is the main ship and the fic itself is rated G. The main cast is all characters from The Cat Returns and while Haru is very different from her movie self, it's still a really fun and enjoyable re-imagining of The Princess Bride's plot. YarningChick has written a lot of fics for The Cat Returns - most AUs of some sort - and they're pretty much all enjoyable. So not only does the fic get a recommendataion, the author does too.
It looks so far like all YarningChick's fics are on Ao3, so that's where the links will lead.
The Angel's Knight by Philip S - Sixteen years after her death saving the world from Glory, Buffy is given the chance to return to life to aid Angel in one final Apocalypse to determine the world's future. But the truth of what's really happening is bigger than anyone could have possibly imagined.
I remember this one especially for it's rather fascinating take on what happened the night Eyghon killed Giles' pre-series and helps to explain some of the inconsistencies with his earlier portrayal and retcons made as characterization marched on. It's also got my favorite take on Catherine Madison post-trophy-ification and an interesting interpretation of the Key.
Rated T, has Buffy/Angel as the main ship, and is, unfortunately, not to be found on Ao3 yet.
BtVS: The College Years by Philip S - A Season 4 AU. With the Slayer beyond their control for the moment, the Watcher's Council chooses to reactivate the Slayer's counterpart: the Huntsman. Meanwhile, Buffy's dealing not only with college, but with the arrival of soldiers intending to fight the good fight… and whose presence will unearth more of Sunnydale's bloodstained history.
This one I remember really enjoying for the take on the Slayer that it was one of two powerful, ancient spirits. And also for incorporating Angel's return to being human via the Mohra demon, but not allowing him to roll back time like in canon. It's obvious to the reader what Angel's in store for as the fic goes on, but how he gets there is pretty fascinating.
It is rated M for a non-con encounter between Buffy and the first guy to become the Huntsman. So reader beware. The main ship is Buffy/Angel. And, like the rest of Philip S's work, it's not on Ao3 at this time.
If It's Not One Thing… by Gabrielle Lawson - There's never a dull moment on Deep Space Nine as murder, secretive aliens, and Julian's past collide. An alternate take on Julian Bashir's past written before the reveal of his parents or genetic engineering.
Probably my favorite fic about Julian. His backstory here is really well thought out and really quite tragic and it definitely captures the feel of early seasons DS9, with the tensions between Starfleet and the Bajorans playing an important part of the storyline.
It's rated T and is on Ao3 now, along with Gabrielle Lawson's other works. Lawson's Deep Space Nine fics are all pretty good from what I remember, though this one was my favorite.
The Geek's Field Guide to Arachnids by likethekoschka - A big robot spider, anaphylactic shock, and a number of near-death-experiences… all just another ordinary day on Atlantis for John and Rodney. First in a series staring John Sheppard and Rodney McKay in an established relationship, written by liketheriver and koschka under their combined penname.
While at least one of the writers moved to Ao3, it doesn't look like they brought any of their ffnet stuff - solo or cowritten - with them. Which is a shame, but I can hold out hope these'll get migrated to somewhere safer than ffnet eventually. (Like Ao3…)
All of the fics in this series are rated T and I cannot recommend the series enough for Stargate Atlantis fans. It's incredibly well written and a lot of fun to read. Features what is probably my favorite version of Radek Zelenka.
Atlas by distractedKat - Star Trek Kelvin-verse fic set after the 2009 movie and AU from there. Kirk throws himself into aiding the rebuilding of Starfleet in the wake of the Narada disaster as Starfleet Academy has found itself short staffed. This may not have been such a good idea, as his many talents have caught the eye of a corrupt Admiral…
An eventual Kirk/Spock fic that treats Spock and Uhura's friendship really well. Rated T and is up on Ao3.

In a universe where Spock was born female everything changes but some things always stay the same. They are all younger here (picture AOSish) but follows more of a TOS episodic style. When Sarek disowns Spock for joining Starfleet, the amazing Captain Pike steps in as father figure and takes it upon himself (with Number One's help of course) to help Spock find a balance between her two selves, while simultaneously releasing the never ending guilt he feels for never being able to raise his own son. But things never go as planned, what with new worlds to be discovered, crazy bond mates, and a ghost that Chris just knows is George haunting the ship, what could possibly go wrong? Eventually Captain Pike is forced to retire. How will Spock handle her new Captain and CMO? Can they come to grips with the abuse they’ve suffered in the past? How will the crew handle their finicky lady the Starship Enterprise and her ever present ghost? McSpirk is of course the main pairing here but will mention past relationships.

Prompt: Slow Dancing from this list by @aboldclaim
"Mmmm." The hum wedged itself between the soft brass notes from the speaker. "Oranges. Can you synthesize them?" Una turned, juice running down the knife onto her hand. "We had our resupply. Good morning, you." Jack approached, shifting his borrowed robe, barefoot up to his thighs. "Lucky me." He slipped his arms around her waist. Una tensed. "Let me finish this." "Nah." Cheek to hair, chest to back, Jack started swaying. "May I have this dance, Commander?" Una sighed, put the knife down and turned in Jack's arms. He winced when her sticky hands found his neck. "Of course, Commander."

I know "60s housewives who invented slash fanfiction" has taken on a life of its own as a phrase, but Kirk/Spock didn't really exist until the 70s and THOSE WOMEN HAD JOBS. They were teachers and librarians and bookkeepers and scientists and they damn well spent their own money going to conventions, printing zines, buying fanart and making fandom happen. Put some respect on their names.

Things that are going to happen in 2024 according to Star Trek:
1) the absolutely giant homeless-population of the USA (or was is just New York? Idk, I‘m from Europe) is going to start a civil-war fighting against the upper class and police.
2) Ireland is going to get united

I’ll be honest, I’m kind of a fake Trekkie. I haven’t seen ANY of them in full, I just vaguely know the plot lines of all the generations. But whenever I catch my family watching your ready room, I ALWAYS sit down to watch with them. Your enthusiasm for every part of the universe is contagious, and it’s always so nice to share in someone’s passion, even if it’s through a TV screen. Seeing you be so unabashedly excited lifts my own spirits, I guess? Lmao. Anyway, just wanted to say I love watching you in it.
I feel like someone once told you that unless you like Star Trek in this one specific way, you aren't a "real" fan.
I would like to retroactively tell that person to shut up and let you enjoy things.
There are ENORMOUS parts of the Star Trek universe I know nothing about. I still haven't watched a full episode of Enterprise, and haven't seen more than a handful of Voyager.
But you'd be hard pressed to find someone who loves Star Trek more than I do, because the love we feel for things comes from inside us, from a place that an insecure gatekeeper can't touch, unless you let them.
You don't need permission to casually enjoy and love Star Trek, but I'll give you this "Wil Wheaton Says Shut The Fuck Up And He Outranks You" card to play when someone tells you that you aren't a "real" fan, because you can't rattle off the combination to Kirk's safe.
Thank you for watching Ready Room! Live long and prosper.

Leonard McCoy is not, nor has he ever been, human. Jim Kirk can see and communicate across planes of existence. Spock is a touch telepath.

after his death, Thiess's estate auctioned off a lot of these pieces and donated the money to charity. if you ever want to feel insane read the prices some of it sold for. that metallic halter top + cape fit??? $173. are. you. kidding. me.
