Ghost in the Machine by Nostalgia (PG-13)

Fandom: STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE
Pairing: Ezri/Bashir
Author on LJ: nostalgia_lj
Author Website: Nostalgia for an age yet to come
Why this must be read:

Ezri Dax never really wanted to be joined, on the show she adjusts to her involuntary symbiosis fairly quickly, this fic assumes that she didn't adapt as well or as quickly as was shown. Ezri is hearing (or imagining hearing) the voices of the previous Dax incarnations, and she's not getting along with them. Nostalgia gives distinct voices to the prior hosts as well as giving us an excellent look at Ezri's resentment about being joined.


I never asked for this, she points out, stretching out under the sheet as Julian sleeps beside her.

But you could have said no, says Lela, You could have let us die.

Then shut up and be grateful. I’m not going to live for ever. And then the next host will be some approved genius with no personality who’ll let you do whatever the hell you want.

It isn’t like that, says Jadzia.

I love your killer baby bunny icon. I have a friend who has "bunny" in his LJ name (long story). Would you be willing to let me send him the icon? I would pass along whatever attribution you would like.

I'm not the one who made the icon, so I wouldn't feel comfortable passing it on without the permission of the creator. I got it from the baaaaabyanimals community, I think it was made by lesslikeyou
