The First Time by Olivia Monteith (NC-17)

Fandom: DEEP SPACE NINE
Pairing: Garak/Bashir
Length: 70k
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: unknown

Why this must be read:

The majority of Garak/Bashir fics portray Garak as the dominant partner, while Bashir is cast as the inexperienced newcomer to hot man-on-man action. The First Time reverses these roles, and creates a very different yet utterly believable version of this pairing. Olivia Monteith also captures all of the overwhelming emotions and physical sensations of a 'first time', and balances them with gentle humour and witty dialogue. The result is a poignant and sexy tale of two very different cultures, species and men colliding behind closed doors.

Have a taste:

"Garak," Julian repeated softly as he shook Garak's shoulder gently. "I have to get up. I have to get to the Infirmary."

"Mmmmm..."

"As attractive as I think you are, I really can't wear a naked Cardassian to work. What would the patients say?" he teased.

Garak stretched sleepily and murmured, "They would say that it was a vast improvement over that dreadful uniform, and they might even find it a very daring fashion statement."
