Summary
The only thing that truly surprised him was that Julian had asked, or rather, that he hadn’t simply written that he needed an annulment and had taken the liberty of filling out his half of the requisite form, and was just sending it over to be completed. Instead: “I think we should get a divorce.” As if it were a suggestion; as if it would be perfectly acceptable for Garak to refuse.
—
At the end of the Dominion War, Elim Garak and Julian Bashir were married in order for the doctor to immediately begin helping with Cardassia’s recovery. Now, after several years spent apart, Julian has apparently met someone else and is looking for a divorce, a good enough excuse to get him back to Prime for one last visit… but Garak finds himself at something of a loss for how to deal with the strange distance Julian brings with him.

Summary
The son of the man who lost the Eagle of the Ninth would never be allowed a first command of his very own fort, would he?
Marcus is posted not to Isca Dumnoniorum, but to a wretched and run-down garrison north of the Wall. There he finds that he is the new centurion of a group of scouts and spies, all of them British. He has few supplies and no experience. His men distrust him. His superiors despise him. His second-in-command is an incompetent drunkard. And the local tribes are determined to kill all of them.
But the worst thing of all is one of Marcus' soldiers. He is an enigmatic, dangerous, and insubordinate man by the name of Esca, who makes Marcus yearn for terrifying things he has never before wanted and can never, ever let himself have...

Summary
“You didn’t suspect?” Bashir said, barely above a whisper. It would have been hard for Garak to hear, were there any other sounds in the room. But there was nothing else and his words hung there, complete in their damning.

Summary
“At least it was just a kiss,” repeats Lois.
Just a kiss. Clark can still envision the photograph clearly: one of his arms wrapped around Lex’s shoulder, the other around his waist, pulling him close. Lex’s hand pressed against his cheek, fingers splayed, obscuring his face just enough that he might have been anonymous if only he hadn’t been wearing the most recognizable costume on earth.

Summary
The next message is an image, obviously snapped from a phone camera. It shows the symbols that Clark had been unable to translate on his own alongside modern Western musical notation. The page is scribbled over with endless comments, but he can still read the important parts easily.
I cannot believe you had such an egregious gap in your database, says Lex.
Clark smiles at his phone. I think the database was compiled in quite a hurry. Can I send you more?
