"Where's Julian? He's usually the first one here!"
"Oh, him," O'Brien said. "He's probably still working on planning that party for Garak. He's a little obsessed."
Near-simultaneously, Kira said, "I'll say"; Odo said, "And what if he is?"; Dax said "Ah, it's cute"; and Worf said, "It is unbecoming."

I had a blast writing this yuletide treat for![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
elegantpi, which I wrote most of while waiting for assignments to go out, totally randomly because the prompt caught my eye and I kept coming up with different slice-of-life scenes in my head that had been in the prompt, and finally I was all, oh, what the heck, I'm just going to sit down and write all these things down. I... never saw myself as a slash writer, ever, and ElegantPi didn't even request it (though said it would be fine), but I have trouble writing Garak even though he is my favorite character (...perhaps these two things are related, actually), and he demanded something to take the attention off the fact that I can't really write him well, and he seemed happy with Julian to do that, so. Sneaky bastard, is Garak!
So so many thanks to my beta,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
infinimato, who graciously agreed to beta for a complete stranger, and who besides making the overall writing much stronger also articulated exactly what was wrong with the last scene and how to fix it, thank you! Also thanks to the Misses Clause Challenge, without which Kira and Jadzia would not have known about Portal.
