Deep Space Nine: A Year and a Day (Bashir/O’Brien | PG | 707 words | 04/25/07)

It was months before anyone even found out she wasn’t coming back.

Author’s Note: This is the B/OB plot bunny that’s been biting me ever since I saw the episode where O’Brien was getting so jealous over Keiko’s time on Bajor (and her male friends) that she considered leaving him. Thanks so much to tinheart ( Read more... )

Aww, that made me wibble quite a lot.

And who was he to argue with a comfortable teddy bear?
Loved that line, I can so see Julian trying to blame it Kukalaka.

Wonderful fic.

Aww, thanks! Especially glad to hear that part worked :)

Oh, I liked this one very much.

Thanks!

And I quite like your icon ^_^

yes, you should never argue with a comfortable teddy bear as you will loose, every time.

Love the fic.

And in this case, losing was really winning, just as it should be XD

Thank you!

Very nice! Any B/O'B that can work in Kukalaka is tops in my book. I particularly like the line about knowing when not to treat a patient.

Honestly, Kukalaka was the man. Or, bear, rather, but still. I regard him as a major character. *g*

Oh, and so glad you liked that line-I think so far it's at the top of my favorite "introspective Julian lines."

Thanks so much the comment! ^_^

Aw, this was wonderful and quiet and heartbreakingly realistic.

It wasn’t simple. These things rarely are, especially when all one half of the equation can say is I don’t hate you and all the other side can say is I need to get to surgery.

Mmm. One of the absolute best things about reading your stories is that you always know when ornate language is best and when simplicity is called for, and switch back and forth between registers with such alacrity and grace. It's always a joy to follow along and see when you're going to stop and deliver something so simple like this line like a stone into a deep well. *grin*

...and switch back and forth between registers with such alacrity and grace.
I... er... *flails helplessly as she attempts to come up with something graceful and dignified to say to such an amazing compliment*

*flails more*

I'm going to have to steal something lyrstzha once said to me: if you listen very closely, you'll hear the sound of my toes curling up in delight. :) In other words: thank you! And I'm so happy that you found this realistic--a lot of times I'm not shooting for realism in fic, but in this instance I was, so that's really wonderful to hear :)
