Star Trek DS9: Two of Us by Selena
Nov. 21st, 2023 10:21 pmTwo of Us (Quark-Jadzia | G | 2,936 words): Quark's point of view on his friendship with Jadzia. This is a lovely perspective of Quark and Jadzia through his eyes over the years as their relationship grows.
Excerpt:
Commander Sisko surprised him by using blackmail, but that was nothing compared with his astonishment when the serious beauty with the spots showed up in his bar with a twinkle in her eyes and asked whether he didn't have more challenging games than Dabo in the offering. He mentioned the poker games he had added to his repertoire once the Cardassians had left, but she wasn't interested in those, either.
"Well," Quark said, "once a week, I've got a Tongo game going. But that's just for Ferengi."
"I didn't take you for a speciesist, Quark," the Trill said to him, clicking her tongue dissapprovingly, but still with that twinkle in her blue eyes, which were, now that he had the chance to look at them up close with her leaning over the bar to him, quite lovely. "Isn't there a rule of acquisition that says prejudice is bad for business?"
That was when he started to think of her as "Dax", not just "the Trill", or "the science officer." It took him a while to progress from there to "Jadzia".
