Fanfic quote of the day... kinda

[ladydrace]

Today I will post an entire fic. Well kinda. It's bigger than a drabble but really to small to be anything. So I thought I'd post the whole thing.

Only A Little Thing by Heather Cook.

In the grand scheme of things, it really was a small thing - a tiny patch of skin on the back of his neck, peeking out above his collar,
right below the glossy black hair.

He walked behind Garak whenever he got the chance, just so he could see it, look at it - as if looking would ever be enough.  Gods, no. 
It was mesmerizing: a soft dove grey that shimmered with iridescent fire when the light struck it...  What would it look like wet?  Would it be hot or cool, smooth or rough?  He wanted to know if it was as sensitive as he hoped, wondered what would happen if he were to lean in and press his lips to it, needed to know just how far down the broad back it went. He dreamed of  tasting it, touching it, smelling it, owning it.   

Yes in the whole of the universe, one little patch of scales *was* insignificant.  But in Julian's mind and heart, it was nearly an obsession.

Can't blame Bashir for that one. Ooooh.... scaaaales....

Oh, very nice! Now I'm dying to know which ep it was she saw, that she was inspired by.

I actually used to wish they had done the neck-ridges a little better. You can see that their scales are drawn on with make-up. I would have loved to see real scales used, either appliques or done by computer. But it's OK. We can fill in what's missing.

I wondered about that too, but an extensive search on trekcore yeilded no results. Plenty of low cut tunics (Garak, you slut) but no back of the neck in focus anywhere. Gah.
