Summary
“I’m dreaming, and dreaming about you, that’s all,” Cliopher informed me. “For one, I don’t believe in fate, or destiny. Second of all, you’re dressed like Fitzroy Angursell, and that’s clearly not right.” Oh, but this really was dangerous, for you and for me. “Third of all, if this is real I’m probably going to get executed tomorrow for the really very egregious etiquette violations I’ve already committed, and I would prefer not to be.”
“Nobody’s executing you,” you said sharply. You were not going to let anyone. Not Cliopher Mdang, your competent, intrepid, unpolished secretary. (Your soulmate.)
“You see?” Cliopher said. “Unrealistic. Definitely a dream.”

Summary
Kip Mdang returns to Solaara, hardly confident that the Imperial Service will take him back but sure that there is no place for him in the Vangavaye-ve.
The City of Cities is still expanding from the backwater village it was before the Fall; the work of reconstruction continues but it is no longer a simple crisis. In the Palace the big political beasts are circling for position under the newly awakened Emperor.
Despondent and determined to bury himself in work, Cliopher finds his former patron disapproving and the new Master of Offices openly hostile. But he is still a fifth degree secretary, and some problems are easier to solve when you feel that you have little left to lose... and don't care which enemies you make along the way.

Summary
“So, I’m to understand that you’re upset because — barring further daring heroics in the name of frontier medicine — you may only attain the average human lifespan?”
Julian inspects his own toes. “A bit, yes.”
After a moment, Garak says, conversationally: “The meteoric trajectory of your medical career may have to be compressed, I suppose. Carrington Award rescheduled for, what, forty-five or so? Admission to the Interplanetary Consortium of Physical Medicine bumped up to seventy? Now, don’t scoff, my dear Julian. If anyone can do it, it’s you.”
--
Julian's actions on Cardassia have bargained-for consequences, and Garak grapples with ghosts.Bookmarked by CountingNothings

Til They Retire Your Number by technicallyverycowboy

Summary
They lapse back into a comfortable silence. Shane looks at Ilya as he is and thinks about Ilya as he was at seventeen, smoking in the back of a Saskatchewan parking lot. The image is almost unbearably tender for Shane, where his own seventeen year old thrill at seeing Ilya Rozanov meets all the things Shane knows about that lonely boy now.
Shane thinks: Do you love number 81 more than you love this man?
"Hey," Ilya says, brushing his knuckles over Shane's cheek. "Whatever I do, I will be there when you come home."
Ilya decides to retire. Shane is very normal about it.

Summary
They’d considered it—Shane being gay. It’d been an option. But Ilya Rozanov and the way Shane looks at him like he’s the love of his life has blindsided them. Blindsided both of them, and there’s almost nothing Yuna likes less than being blindsided.
She’s not mad, David wants to say. We’re so proud of you. We’re so happy for you. We just didn’t know.
Somehow we missed it, you falling in love.
or, what David Hollander and Ilya Rozanov talk about while Shane and Yuna are outside in episode six.

Summary
“It’s Rozanov, they’re bringing on Rozanov,” he said in a rush.
For a long moment, Shane couldn’t hear or process anything. The world had narrowed then expanded too fast, like he was falling. At some point Hayden started talking again, but he couldn’t understand him. There was only the darkness overhead and the ringing in his ears.
“Shane? Shane, you still there?”
The words filtered through slow and muddy, echoing. Shane’s mouth was dry, his tongue thick, but he managed, “Yeah. I’m here.”
“Okay. You’re not gonna have a panic attack, right? Cause that would be bad probably, for your head I mean, and I just think—”
Shane stopped listening again.
Rozanov was coming to Montreal. He’d be in the same locker room, skating on the same ice, living in the same fucking city.Three years after Shane broke it off (not that there was anything to break off), he gets a concussion and the Metros bring in Ilya to fill in for him. A breakup and makeup fic inspired by Jane Austen's Persuasion.

Summary
Fourteen years after the end of the Dominion War, Bajor and Cardassia are finally poised to enter the United Federation of Planets, together. But when Castellan Garak and Military Minister Kira find the body of Julian Bashir—with a heavily encrypted datarod containing the last fifty years of covert operations by Section 31 in his hand—on the eve of the treaty signing on Deep Space Nine, negotiations fall apart.
There is some nuance to it, of course, but what is nuance when your friend’s dead body has been found in a stasis container in Cargo Bay Four?
Or, Julian dies in the name of service to the Alpha Quadrant, but does a poor job staying dead. It does get his friends back together in one place, though.

Summary
Shiro could get himself un-lost on his own, but there's a comforting familiarity to Keith's teasing about rescues past and present - and, after so many decades of adventures, there are few places he'd rather be than tramping down his favourite mountain with his best friend. Even if that best friend is still carrying a torch that Shiro wishes he'd finally let go of.

Hospital Ball (Jamie Tartt's Adventures in Matchmaking) by dannyPURO

Summary
Jamie's the best matchmaker ever--Roy and Keeley are gonna be back together before they even realize what's hit them. He's also, maybe, possibly fucking Roy on the side, but that's just until Roy gets back with Keeley and everything goes back to normal. Yente shit, like. (Note: This is not what anybody else thinks is going on, like, at all.)
In which Roy tries to be a good boyfriend to someone who doesn't know he has a boyfriend, Keeley and Jamie can't figure out who's stealing Roy from whom, and Jamie ponders the ethics of plagiarizing a blowjob for the greater good and learns to cook in the meantime. A comedy of errors.

Summary
The amenities listed on the windmill's Airbnb page include a washing machine and tumble dryer, which Jamie finds a bit ridiculous (it's a fucking windmill) but he's grateful for it, because he really needs a shower and he wasn't looking forward to putting those sweaty pants back on. The amenities do not include spare clothes, and washing them takes a lot longer than the shower does, so Jamie just wraps a towel around his hips. It's not like Roy hasn't seen him in less.

Summary
Whenever he says he's not feeling anything, that's when Dr. Sharon pulls out the fucking cards.
Roy can't fucking stand the fucking cards. They're plain white with plain black text, each displaying the name of a different emotion, and he's supposed to go through them and decide whether he's feeling each thing or not. It's fucking stupid, it makes him feel like a fucking toddler, and worst of all, it fucking works.
