...I can't quite figure out if my mind is recoiling in squeamishness at confronting the fact that of course Garak has anatomy or if it's trying not to drool over the idea that it should be very like Goujun's. Probably a bit of both. Either way, it makes me squirm. ^_^;
Reading Andrew Robinson's book has been on my to-do list since the last time we briefly discussed these two and you recced it to me. I think perhaps I should haul my ass out of the manga section next time I hit the bookstore and go find it again. Especially now.
Having read the fic I was talking about last night, though, I find myself a little squirmy at the bits that approach sex but thoroughly enchanted with the whole thing nonetheless. Aside from a raised eyebrow at the likelihood of a water-based shower on a runabout, but what the hey. There were plenty of little things and lines and what-not that reminded me what I loved so much about either of them back in high school. I mean...well, here -
"So essentially, we have terrible secrets, we're lonely, let's get hitched?" Julian summarizes, trying to keep a smile off his face.
"I'm sure I put it much more elegantly," Garak huffs.
I mean...it's just...there's such a...a-- *waves hands* Them. The two of them, each of them, there's so much to love - I can't seem to articulate, but having crossed this threshold, I find it very happy-making. >_< I'd like to find more, enough to pull me in to the point where the sex ceases to make me squidgy. Y'know?
Really, do you know of anything else I ought to read to further adjust my perceptions? I'd be grateful for any further recs before I start searching blind and being scarred by copious amounts of the inevitible badfic. ^_^

Just out of curiosity, which of them do you play?
Garak has anatomy like I picture Goujun to have
