*wiping eyes*

That was knock-down drag out hysterical. Quark and Odo both somewhere between exasperated and aroused and...bored, and Quark oo-moxing himself, and -- *dies.*

Thank you so much for this!

Hee! I am so very glad you like it. XD

My brain, my brain! But, seriously, good job. I don't suppose I could coax a Julian/Garak romance, with a side dish of angst? At least the romance. :-P

bethos June 21 2004, 10:10:40 UTC

My brain, too. ;-) I think it's permanently warped. I think I may never be able to stop slashing these two now.

Although I don't think they're going to make me write the follow-up, despite the fact that I think Odo wants it because it'd mean he'd *won*. Because yeah.

But Quark is happy with the mounds and mounds of Quark/Dax I've bribed him with in exchange for this.

I do have a Bashir/Garak planned, containing elements of Jadzia/Worf, Julian/Jadzia UST, and Garak being very amused by the whole thing. I dunno how romantic it is ... I have a hard time being romantic with Garak. In honesty I have a hard time being Garak - I'm terrified of him, he's so complex, I don't wanna get him wrong. Which is why I write Bashir/O'Brien. Those boys are both *easy*. Well, relatively. I mean, Julian is all, "Being friends with you is such fun, I love to flirt, I am much more available than your wife and also I don't yell at you at all, please have sex with me," and Miles is all "I love my wife, but oh, you kid."

Holy crap, that was hilarious! Well done!

Thank you very much, I'm glad you liked it! XD

Guh. Brilliant. Hysterical and also hot and very in-character for both of them. Love it. :D

bethos June 21 2004, 10:29:48 UTC

Hee! Thank you very much! :D I had a lot of fun writing it, although I have to admit it did take some doing to get them both to agree to it in the first place ... this seemed the perfect time, canonically, to have their 'first' be at, since it was the first (and only, really) time canonically that Odo really showed Quark his vulnerability.

Oh. My. Word. This is wonderful. The dialogue feels absolutely canonical. This may just be the best and most convincing piece of Odo/Quark slash that I've ever read--and I say that as one of only three people (that I know of) who also write this pairing. I am green with envy at your writing skill.

I love the attention given here to the details of shapeshifting, which definitely helps to ground the story; your suggestions about Quark's background--which are both funny and believable; but above all the character voices really make this work for me. You just nailed them. Kudos! I really hope you will post this piece to ASCEM or one of the other main Trek story forums.

Thank you *so* much! And here I was worried that it was totally wrong and no one would like it. ;-) I am much relieved. And also, like ... dancing around my house refusing to explain my glee to anybody.

As for posting it to a forum ... I have like an inexplicable fear of forums, hence my never posting anything there, but maybe I will attempt to overcome it for this.
