Why this must be read:

In all their literary lunches, surely Garak and Bashir must have talked about slashy subtext? This is a cleverly-written encounter, set about a week after The Wire, showing Henrietta Wotton's trademark attention to the details of world-building, and real insight into the hearts of these two characters.

Elim, you know what has changed--you just don't want to admit it. He thought you a dangerous spy, left behind by a foreign power to probe for Federation weaknesses. His oath as a Starfleet officer kept him from any sexual entanglement. Now he knows that you are exiled, disgraced, cut off from political influence. Now he believes it safe to let the seduction succeed—
