Summary
"You would think that once you’ve been the coldest you’ll ever be, the rest of the world would seem warmer. And you’ve been cold, very cold. You’ve looked up at the stars glittering icy in the night sky and felt the blood in your cheeks freezing, literally freezing, the air so cold that each breath you take into your warm, wet lungs feels like it will collapse your chest."
Natasha learns about the science of heat, and Clint starts a water balloon fight. (Natasha ends it.)

Summary
Steve’s a better friend than a messed-up ex-junkie like Bucky deserves. After they got back from Afghanistan, Bucky was willing to let the world wash him away, but Steve found him and dragged him back out. Now they’re working at this coffee shop by the university where Steve studies art and the college kids make Bucky feel about ninety years old.
Well, all of them except for Steve’s new friend Natasha — hazelnut cappuccino, for here — who sits by the back table poring over thick poli sci books. She’s got a wicked little smile that makes him think there’s more to her than cardigans and crossword puzzles, but what does he have to offer that she couldn’t get somewhere else?
(It's a coffee shop AU. Because I wanted one.)

Julian could only be glad, later, that the conversation happened over dinner and kanar in his quarters, and not in the Replimat.

Summary
Post-canon Cardassia vignettes, inspired by The Cure's "Mint Car."
Very light, very fluffy, very self-indulgent.
Hey, the world may be half-destroyed, but Cardassia rebuilds, Cardassia survives - and in the meantime, infatuation is a power unto itself. Even survivors fall in love, as Elim Garak is finding out. (Julian Bashir is pleased to assist.)

It's not the pebble, it's the Cardassian by KannaOphelia for cherryontop

Summary
Escaping from Interment Camp 371 back to the Alpha Quadrant, Garak and Doctor Julian Bashir find themselves temporarily stranded on Brax, waiting for repairs. Their hosts are friendly, even if the universal translator struggles with their language, and it seems only polite to participate in a charming local festival.
***
"Well," Garak said brightly, keeping his smile on his face, even though Bashir couldn't see it, thinking of the jar Bashir had dipped his finger into. "This is awkward."
"I should've been more careful," said Bashir. "Oh, well, it's not too bad. It's not as if this isn't something that happens all the time. We had a seminar on it first year of Academy. You've accidentally married someone in an alien ceremony, what next? It's not like we intend to stay here." Bashir flopped back on the bed, damp tunic and all, and looked up at him. "I feel less worried about getting back in time than I should. I don't know if I'm just too tired, or it's something about this place. Oh, well. Let's discuss it in the morning." He pulled his long bare legs up and shuffled around into a more comfortable position, facing away from Garak. "Go to sleep."

Summary
For a moment, Garak’s heart leapt. He imagined a tall, thin figure emerging, perhaps dressed in Starfleet Medical gray and blue, or perhaps wearing civilian clothing. He imagined him saying, I got your letter, and I couldn’t stay away any longer. Did you mean what you said?
The door opened. The figure that emerged was short and clad in the red of the Bajoran militia, with a bag slung across her shoulder.
“Colonel Kira,” Garak said. “This is an unexpected surprise. To what do I owe the pleasure?”
Kira didn’t return his smile. “We need to talk, Garak. It’s about Julian.”
***
After the war, Section 31 comes after Julian. Someone really should have alerted Garak sooner, but now that he knows, he's not letting him go without a fight. Neither is Miles, Kira, or Jake, for that matter.

When he finally catches her eye, Garak is sent to intervene to save Cardassia. The spy gets more than he bargained for while trying to distract the doctor.
