ladydraceI had a dream yesterday... suffice to say it was creepy. BUT! The thought alone started off a chain reaction, that lead to the birth of a magnificent plot bunny! I'm SO tempted to start writing it, but seriously, I know myself well enough to know it'll simply end up lying around in my WIP folder gathering dust. And this bunny is simply TOO GOOD!
The raw image that conjured this bunny, was that in my dream (I refuse to go into detail), Garak slept with Major Kira, simply to piss off Dukat. But when I woke up and thought it over, Garak was snarling in the back of my head: "Why the hell would I sleep with the woman, if the mere rumor that I had, would do the job just as nicely??!" And that set it off! Think of it! Garak is finally sick of Dukat's shit and decides to have a little fun at his expence! Wonderful way to relieve boredom. And the way gossip works on DS9, his own contribution only had to be very minor and then the chatterboxes *cough*Dax*cough* on the station would do the rest.
In my mind it went something like this: Garak stops at Quark's and in passing mentions that Kira looks lovely (or even compliments the major herself in front of Quark.) followed by a comment about how all cardassians seem to find her irresistable. Quark of course being the nosy parker of the galaxy asks in an (attempted) off hand way if that attraction extends to Garak. And Garak's reply... he whispered this one in my ear himself! "Oh no, I wouldn't go down that road twice..." Just imagine what Quark will make of a comment like that. Garak will of course deny ever having said anything at all, thereby fuelling the rumor immensely in its infancy.
So, the ball is rolling, and before long, the gossip is rampant about how the reason Kira dislikes Garak so much is because he dumped her or something. Imagine the conversation between Dax and Kira when the poor major finally finds out why everybody looks at her with so much sympathy! Gawd. So, of course, she goes to rip off Garak's head. He sends her to Quark, who sends her back to Garak with the exact words of "never going down that road again". And this is where his plan gets brilliant. When Kira threatens to get really violent, Garak explains to her that by 'never again' he had simply meant with another bajoran, because his last fling had ended badly. AND is she wants proof, she can go ask Odo.
Cue next player! Odo! He is of course horrified at the thought that Garak could have been with Kira, and more than happily digs out any interaction he's ever had with Garak regarding bajorans. But considering how many Bajorans on the station have probably been harrassing Garak through the years, the odds are good that a few of them ended up having restraining orders on them. But of course, Garak refuses to confirm the identity of any one of them as his old flame - thus not solving anything.
Cue next player: Dukat! Coming to DS9 probably with the excuse of coming to see his daughter or something. Only a matter of time before the rumor hits him. "Garak and MY Kira??? First my daughter and now my next intended bajoran conquest!!!" Dukat goes to kill Garak, Kira (and half the station) overhears the argument/fight to the death on the promenade and gawd does she throw a fit when she hears Dukat calling her 'his' anything! Not to mention Odo... the harrumphs alone would probably make him hoarse.
And here I can't decide if I should toss in the good doctor to put a little G/B spin on it... I dunno. Would make a wonderfully complex menage á uhm...many! This is where my brain kinda fades to black and makes me believe that this would never be finished if I chose to begin writing.
So, if anyone likes this bunny, please take it home. It's making doe-eyes at me and nibbling holes in my best socks.
