General Fics

Stories focused on the family and the friendly relationships of the cast. Plot-focused stories or light day-in-the-life stories. Pretty much anything that isn't focused on romance.

The Brave Little Tailor in the Pale Moonlight by Cardie (a.k.a. Henrietta Wotton)

• Recommended by Maso Tey
• Synopsis: "In the Pale Moonlight" from Garak's perspective (and as a fairy tale!).

Scorched Earth by Una McCormack

• Recommended by Troper Jysella
• Synopsis: AU – Enabran Tain's plan to eliminate the Founder homeworld is successful, and Garak joins the newly-ascended Obsidian Order as it takes over Cardassia... and has some serious doubts while doing it. It's of the "long and plotty" AU variety, and utilizes original characters very well. It's also one of the few fics where a canon character has kids that didn't make me want to kick things. If the author's name looks familiar it's because she's written professional Star Trek novels, including The Never Ending Sacrifice.).

Standardized by Babel (aka Dilly R)

• Recommended by Troper Jysella
• Synopsis: Snapshots from Julian Bashir's life, from three to thirty-two.

Internment Camp 317 by Jewels

• Recommended by Troper Jysella
• Synopsis: Bashir's time in the Dominion prison camp.

Shipping Fics

Stories focused on the romantic relationships between the cast.

Sacrifice by prelocandkanar

• Part OnePart TwoPart ThreePart Four
• Recommended by Blossom Morphine
• Pairings: Garak/Bashir
• Synopsis: Takes place immediately after "Broken Link;" Garak deals with the consequences of his attempted genocide of the Founders, and must consider what is worth great personal sacrifice for a greater good. Rating: PG-13/R for implied slash.

Letters From the Northern Continent by The Hoyden

• Recommended by Orn
• Pairings: Garak/Bashir
• Synopsis: It just figured that the first time Julian Bashir set foot on Cardassia after the war, it would be halfway around the world from Elim Garak.
