Summary
“Garak’s primary mission, at least in this moment, is to tap into a somewhat baser motivation— the ten percent generally reserved for beautiful women, and occasionally, him. Thankfully, he knows exactly how to tug the threads that will make Julian Bashir abandon all intellectual and moral pretense, and take without consideration. He knows what hides in Julian’s center: pure selfish need. ”
When Garak picks up a coded transmission referencing a mysterious weapon being developed by the Cardassian Union and the Dominion, he and Bashir are tasked with infiltrating a (supposedly) decommissioned kemocite refinery to discover more.
Their mission starts to fall apart when it becomes apparent that the Dominion aren’t involved at all... and that Cardassia’s best chance at freedom lies in Julian Bashir’s unmaking.

Summary
Bashir is everywhere, and it should be suffocating. He’s above him, against him, inside him. His body lines Garak’s; he is utterly pinned from toe to fingertip. Even his face is pressed against his as to block from everything from his view except the small gap between the mattress and the plane of Bashir. His cheek, absent of that curious scratch that had taken residence upon his face at the camp muffles the world and puts it at a distant remove. The world has narrowed to the small, dark space carved out between body and mattress and blanket; to muffled breaths and the steady, unyielding press of flesh.
