Five Things That Never Happened to Kira Nerys by Rocky (PG-13)

Why this must be read:
I'm a big fan of Kira fic and of the Five Things genre and this fic is a fantastic example of both. It is a series of five very different AUs but the thing that binds them all together is the Kira characterisation, which constantly rings true to the show. In addition to Kira's truly excellent characterisation Rocky has a brilliant grasp of the voices of all the other DS9 characters, even the ones that are only referred to in passing ring true.
At that moment there was a bright flash. First one, then the other Jem'Hadar collapsed to the floor, screaming in agony. There was an acrid smell of burning flesh in the air. Rom stood up, his face pale with fear, clutching a still-sparking laser welder in his fist.
Without missing a beat, Kira drew her phaser. "Get to the runabout, Rom. Tell the others I'll be there shortly." She gave him a shove. "Move!"
Odo took a step forward. "Nerys--"
Kira fired.
As the energy beam hit, Odo's solid form lost coherency, coalesced to a liquid that shimmered first gold, then a sickly green then gray. A moment later, all that was left was a small mound of ash.
Rom's mouth sagged open in horror. "Let's go," Kira said hoarsely.
"But--"
"I said, let's go!"
Quark was waiting at the airlock when they got there, his anxiety apparent. "Major, what--"
"No time! We've got to get out of here!" Kira roughly brushed past him. Wisely, Quark said nothing further until they had taken off and the station was rapidly receding behind them.
"I always knew your hare-brained plan wasn't going to work," he said. "At least there's no sign of pursuit. For now." Quark absently stroked his lobes, as if to reassure himself they were still attached. "What about Odo?"
Kira exchanged a glance with Rom. "He didn't make it," she said quietly.
I especially recommend the fifth AU, it's a work of pure genius :-)
