2x18 - Profit And Loss

(cw suicidal thoughts)

Headcanon that Julian's parents moved to San Francisco while he was at the Academy to keep an eye on him/ "support" him and he was invited round to theirs at least once a week and they would randomly show up at his dorm with some dinner ("we know you're working so hard, Jules") (half the time it's something he doesn't even like that much) and while he is enjoying his time at the Academy - and it's still better than living with his parents and he gets actual time away from them now - his post at DS9 is the first time he's ever been able to properly distance himself from them.

This is also partly why he became such a ladies' man - his mum turned up once when he was entertaining a girl and she quickly apologised for interrupting and then the next week when they were eating together all his parents' questions were about the girl and they were saying "if you don't have as much time for us, do let us know, we wouldn't want to get in the way of true love future grandchildren 😉😉" and Julian gets kind of used to having a girlfriend as a sort-of form of, like, self-defense? Which is an awful reason to have a girlfriend and is not a mindset that particularly serves him well, but at some points when his parents are being particularly intense, it becomes literally about survival.

(Also, a reason why he's so weird about turning 30 - he's kind of freaking out because there were lots of times when he never really thought he'd make it, but it's a lot easier to stick to the socially acceptable line of "I feel so old :/" rather than telling people "I only stopped being actively suicidal sometime after I left Earth and still can't quite believe I ever escaped")

No-nuance Garashir head-to-head poll 😈

Garashir but it doesn't work because Julian's in love/lust with the idea that Garak will treat him like an enemy spy and Garak's in love/lust with the idea that Julian will treat him as gently as a patient and neither of them actually want to bring their jobs into bed/a relationship.

Because I love these two but I also enjoy the idea that they could be in love with the other's public persona, but actually that which attracts the other to them is what they want to relinquish in private.

The irony is that with Star Trek not directly talking about the genitals of aliens to stay family-friendly, they inadvertently left the door open to our imaginations
