Why this must be read:
When I first volunteered to rec in Star Trek I had a mental list of fics I was definitely going to rec, and this fic was at the top of the list. Unfortunately I couldn't remember where it was I'd read it and I spent several weeks abusing Google before I found it again. The reason I was so keen to rec it is that it is the best portrayal of the Odo/Kira relationship that I've read. It captures the connection between the two of them, how the manage to have such intimacy at the same time as having a chasm of difference between them.
It is easier for a Bajoran to mate with a Cardassian than a Shapeshifter, they learnt that on their first night together. When Odo had kissed her on the Promenade she hadn't thought that he would be simply mimicking humanoid behaviour.
"How do we do this?" She had asked later that night, as her food got cold on the table, as his fingers grabbed at her clothes.
"I've seen, I mean, I know...how Bajorans.." He said, into her hair.
"How do *you* do this?" She said, pulling back and touching his face.
He looked away then, and pulled away. "I can't. Not with ... "
"... a solid?"
He nodded. "But I ... I can do it like you."
