Series: Part 20 of The Travel Collection: Drabbles, Snippets, and Supershorts, Part 1 of A Galaxy Away From Home

Snippets all written in the same AU, with no specific time-frame for when it diverges from canon beyond sometime after Julian and Garak become friends. The Highlander crossover is more drive-by mentioning of Methos than much else.


This is the loosely-connected set of shorts that makes up the bulk of what I have posted for this AU. It was supposed to be an excuse to explore Julian Bashir and Elim Garak and Garak/Bashir in isolation from the rest of DS9, because when I was first writing it, I hadn’t rewatched in probably too long, and didn’t have enough interest from the first watch to remember anyone else clearly.

There is what was supposed to be a longer story that’s mostly unposted, and is where the crossover with Highlander comes from, because my co-author on that doesn’t know DS9 well enough to write anyone from that, and doesn’t do a lot of OC creation, either.

Then I got a prompt for Geordi and Data, and the AU expanded to incorporate them. It’s likely to involve others as I figure out better when the divergence point is, and how things change, and what that means for people.

Highlander Holiday Shortcuts from 2009. Unconnected to other HLH stories of mine.

Series: Part 2 of Stories of the Sea, Part 4 of Sail and Ocean

“It’s not like he dragged an old survivor out of his happy little hidey-hole and into his crusade, however reluctantly.”


The first of the stories I did for Highlander Holiday Shortcuts, back in 2007. I’ll be posting links to them on AO3 all day, nine in all.

Here, Methos just avoids the usual mess of being kidnapped and dropped off on a tiny island somewhere by Alysse, and there is conversation. It’s part of the Sail and Ocean AU (Alysse is a cheerful trouble maker with a romantic streak), and is not connected with other HLH stories of mine.
