      Wise, wise decision.

      I swear it is true, though probably not the first search result. Citation available upon request.

      I’m sorry that this is only tangentially related, but I’m 30 years late to a fandom and I’m itching to bitch.

      I’ve been trying to look up fanfiction for DS9, and it’s fucking astounding how much quark/Odo porn there is. I get that they’ve got vibes, but it’s just too big a leap for me. Quark’s getting some serious character development lately (I’m in the 7th season) though, so maybe something changes soon.

        I didn’t see any vibes between odo and quark. Certainly not to the level of Bashir and garack. Or Bashir and O’Brien. Or O’Brien and kira. Or O’Brien and anyone but his wife.

          Not sexy vibes, but friendship vibes. They each do favors for the other and then get bashful about having positive feelings for each other. Fanfiction writers can pretty easily use that as a jumping off point for modeling how the characters would act if they did have romantic feelings for each other.

          Yes on bashir and Garak though. I resisted it at first, but I’ve fully given in and have read exclusively that for the last week.
