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.
