Why this must be read:

I've recced a lot about Cardassia this month, but for my last recommendation, it's over to the other side, to Bajor under the Occupation. As Seema's website shows, she's able to write just about every character on the show, but the story I've picked focuses on a pivotal moment in the life of a teenaged Kira Nerys, who meets a childhood friend and finds out just how far both of them have changed in the intervening years.

Kira had been hurt. "You don't trust me?"

"It's not a question of trust, Nerys. It's a matter of nerves."

Kira had answered, "The Kamal I knew would never collaborate with Cardassians. Don't worry. You can count on me." In that moment, Kira had felt strong, had felt determined; collaborators must be punished, even if they were fellow Bajoran citizens. "No mercy."

That's the last DS9 rec from me; I hope you've enjoyed the stories this month, I've definitely enjoyed picking them. All these authors are well worth reading beyond the stories I've chosen, so take a look at their websites. And happy reading!
