For a while I was following the reading regimen described in this entry, which is what led to my recent post about awkward moments in revisiting past fandoms. I read Smallville for a while too; I just ran out of it before the others and was reduced to just DS9 and DS. A couple of days ago I ran out of DS9 as well. I'm pretty sure that a lot of this is due to a lower percentage of early works in Smallville and DS9 having been imported to AO3 over the years. I'm not saying I would necessarily have enjoyed rereading them all or wanted to bookmark them, but I do feel like I didn't see all the ones I've read in the pre-AO3 era. So there's only a couple of Smallville bookmarks, but I have a bunch of the others. This is just a first batch.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Julian felt brave enough to say, "Garak, I'd like to see you in the infirmary at your earliest convenience."

Series: Part 1 of To Tell the Truth
Summary:

After Julian's past catches up with him, Garak is even more intrigued.

Bookmarker's Notes:

The hypocritical reactions of his fellow officers provided no end of amusement for me. They told themselves and him that they were upset with him and that he'd have to "earn their trust" over again because he'd never told them--utterly ignoring that he didn't dare jeopardize himself and his family by revealing himself as a recipient of illegal bio-engineering--when, in truth, they were obviously afraid of what he was. They enjoyed "diversity" until it meant that someone they once thought they knew might be physically and mentally superior to them. If what little I heard of his mental faculties was true, the structure of his thoughts and memories was nearly Cardassian.
