Familiar New Frontier Drudgery Bit

I acknowledge that Elim Garak, Julian Bashir, Cardassia, etc. are the property of either Paramount or CBS, not entirely sure which due to the changes in 2006. The story is however mine, and done solely for entertainment purposes.

This story began with the following challenge, posted on The Garak/Bashir Fuh-q Fest website:

Garak and Bashir are stranded on Cardassia after the war. They have to help wounded and dying. How did they end up there, and how do these circumstances affect them and their relationship?

All of the requirements for this challenge will be meet, but not necessarily in the expected way. The first chapter will be posted shortly.

So Stay Tuned! :-P
