Another public entry, because I understand that now some people are watching for my G/B who may not want to subscribe.
This story can be read as a sequel of sorts to "A Strange Thing", since it mentions Garak's acts of torture and murder in that fic.
Title: The Fall From Shadows
Pairing: Garak/Bashir
Rating/Warnings: PG-13, but very dark
Word Count: 1660
Summary: Garak watches Bashir sleep and contemplates how his life has been changed forever.
Notes: (1) Set in the "When the Farsei Blooms" universe. "WtFB" is told entirely from the perspective of Julian Bashir. This is a glimpse into Elim Garak's mind on one particular night during their time on the wilderness planet. (2) The term a'latli, as established in "WtFB", is a High Kardasi word which roughly translates into Terran as One who strikes sparks from me, as blade against blade, and whose gaze sheathes itself in my heart. Bashir first read the word in an excerpt from a volume of Cardassian poetry, The Fall From Shadows.
( His mind, Obsidian Order trained, automatically estimated the amount of force it would take to break that fragile neck, to crush that slender throat, to put out the light in those dark eyes forever. )
