Garak reminds me of... what may happen if Goujun and Hakkai had a love child
Bwah. XD Do you know, in the course of my usual comparing character personalities and 'types' across series, I'd come up with the same thing? For just the reasons you stated. What's that they say about great minds...?
Hakkai's waay more tortured than Tenpou. Definitely. And they've both got that very effective habit of appearing much less harmless than they truly are, and being manipulative in such a way that you don't realize you've been manipulated until after the fact. Which has always reminded me of Garak, and probably explains rather a lot about the sort of characters I tend to gravitate toward most.
For the record, Garak also reminds me strongly of Count D, except that he's not quite so effeminate. The development of his relationship with Leon also reminds me of the development of the friendship between Garak and Bashir. Leon and Bashir aren't quite so perfect a parallel, but I can draw enough lines of similarity to make myself happy.
There's no way he'd keep Garak out of his bed once then hopped in. ;)
^_^; I have to agree with you. I'm just not used to them living in that particular corner of my brain. Will definitely take some breaking in. I mean, I couldn't envision sex between Gojyo and Hakkai at first, either, but that didn't last too terribly long. *grin* Not to mention my extremely rapid shift from squick to kink on the subject of dragonsex. It's all just a matter of finding the right dose in the right way to ease into it.
...There's any number of yaoi-minded prep metaphors I could be making here, too, but I'll refrain.
Unusual, alien, reptile-like. Ah, Cardassians... my passion.
Full-blown xenophilia fodder at it's finest, I'd say. Which is yet another reason, I think, that I'm wanting to adapt my headspace to this so badly.
I definitely will have to go find the book. And I'd love to poke about quietly on the RP comm as well, if you don't mind. ^_^
