The Image Series

Afterimage [Bashir] After Miles O'Brien's ordeal in the DS9 episode "Hard Time", we find his recovery's progress has hit another serious snag. Dr. Julian Bashir undertakes to find out what it might be. PG-13

Graven Image [Bashir] Miles is a little rocked by his experience of mutual attraction with Major Kira, who is carrying his and Keiko's baby. He'd been feeling a bit...unsettled by it all to begin with--natural enough, of course--but when his nightmares of Argratha start recurring--with a not-entirely-unexpected- twist--Keiko comes to see Julian. Miles, after all the progress he's made, seems, in some ways, to be relapsing into his Argrathi-provoked condition. R-NC-17

In Another Life [Bashir, Keiko] This one can actually be read alone; there are only a few references to "Afterimage" and "Graven Image" in it, and they're self-explanatory. This is the first of these M/Js I've tried writing from Miles's point of view, or in this case more than one Miles, so be warned. Our favorite DS9 engineer is exposed to a quantum filament similar to the one that had Worf bouncing all over the realm of quantum possibility in the TNG episode "Parallels"; but this one, being artificially generated, closes before the solution that returned Worf and his parallel counterparts to their own realities can be implemented. PG-13

Shattered Image [Bashir] Julian is a little rocked himself due to his unexpected and widespread reputation as a genetically engineered human. Miles and Keiko, and their entire family, up to and including Yoshi and Major Kira, undertake to help him over the worst of the transition. R

Sleep [Bashir] This is a somewhat melancholy canon-oriented short dealing with how incredibly affected and upset Julian was during "A Time to Stand", the second of the "Call to Arms" triple ep when we lost something like ninety-five percent of the Seventh Fleet to the Dominion. I'm thinking that despite their own worries, his closest friends might have been concerned enough for him to step in and help... G

Breathe [Bashir] This, like the above two, is a stand-alone, a much more straight-ahead hurt/comfort than is usually my wont. Very dark, but no explicit scary scenes. Julian, for no reason Miles can fathom, has taken off in an attempt to rescue Mila from Dukat's people--and wound up in a situation even Garak wouldn't try to take on. Miles would, though--and, with a ship loaded with enough armament and equipment to wage war against an entire primitive- warp-capability civilization, takes off, sans any sort of permission, to break Julian out of the Cardassian base at Alur Six. PG-13

The Pride of Lions [Bashir, Keiko] Here goes: The Intendant has kidnapped Ezri from our universe for several nefarious purposes; Julian convinces Sisko to let him be the one to try and retrieve her, since Julian has an in with Smiley, having been the one whose pep talk convinced Smiley to try escaping his tame-theta position. While there, Julian meets Captain Bashir, who assists him in the rescue attempt due to the fact that Ezri carries Jadzia's memories--and Capt. B. can't abide the thought of leaving even so little of Jadzia in the hands of the Intendant. Julian assumes that his double was never genetically enhanced, which turns out to be untrue; he was not, however, enhanced in the same areas Julian was, and our Julian undertakes to help him cope in such a way that he won't have to be quite such a stone bastard to everybody, eventually bringing him home for concentrated medical attention. Mirror Keiko, a former friend, then associate, of Capt. B., comes too. Owing to the severity with which Fleet frowns on traffic between quantum universes-- Worf's disastrous trip being the worst-known example, after Data finished writing his paper about it--Julian and his counterpart are forced to settle on an improbable, maybe impossible, course of action...when they fall solidly and completely in love.
