Emergency Femslash Drabble Challenge!

[cosmic_llin]

At long last, our dear silly_cleo is watching DS9. Unfortunately she's only on Season 2, and she's almost run out of Kira/Dax fic that she can read without being spoiled for later seasons.

So I turn to you, dear flist. First of all, recs? Particularly things that can't be found in the appropriate tag on AO3?

Second of all, drabbles! Ficlets! Epics, if you feel like it! Write them, post them in the comments! Or leave prompts! Either respond to prompts or just write whatever you feel like!

The only rule is it must have some Kira/Dax element, and NO spoilers past Season Two! Have fun!

(long overdue real-life post and comments etc forthcoming once I'm actually back from work...)

'Nobody parties like Dax' needs to be on a t-shirt.

Ahhhh, this is so satisfying. I love cautious young Jadzia here – you do such a nice job of filling out the tricksy matter of early-series Dax, accounting for her reticence, her awkward solemnity. I love your evocation of her bits-and-piecesness, love her desire for someone to help her keep hold of her fluctuating identity, LOVE Curzon was the worst. and everything about Lela (who I think is our mutual favorite Dax?), the gradual coming-together of voices into the blurred chorus at the end, from which finally emerges Jadzia.

And I love the implicit notion that what finally provokes the playfulness of our eventual Dax is her decision to pull that side out of the surly Major. Her grin at the end! Ah, yes. So satisfying. ♥

Aww, thank you! I'm so glad you liked it. It's always been clear to me that what some people think is dodgy characterisation is actually just Jadzia settling into her new self. And Lela is awesome.

Haha, yes, the fic was going to be a lot more about that but it got sort of rambly and I let it. ;)

So, clearly that anonymous comment was me forgetting to log on at work...
