Summary
It was mid-afternoon when Chief O'Brien strode into Garak's shop, grim-faced and tense, and said, "Garak, I'm gonna have to ask you to kill Dr. Zimmerman."
Or: In which Garak replicates three cups of tea. Meanwhile no one on this accursed station understands that he is not an assassin for hire.

Summary
Julian doesn't think about it much these days. Why should he, when it's been so long?
But when he does, if he does, well—he considers it part and parcel of Garak, that's all. Disconcerting at first, a little invasive. Awfully close to a line but not quite crossing it, and leaving Julian with absolutely no idea what he's meant to do in response. Garak in microcosm, summarized in a single unexpected gesture.
(Or: Julian has always thought Garak just had a weird little habit. Until another Cardassian does the same thing to him, and seems to imbue the gesture with a meaning Julian really had not anticipated.)

Summary
He loves her, he thinks, in a weird sort of way. Loves her like a bird loves a cage, like a moth loves a candle flame. She is the one reason he’s alive, and so many of the reasons he wishes he weren’t. She hurts him, but never as much as he wants her to, never enough to soothe his pain. She is the only person on this island that he doesn’t hate, and he thinks this is the closest thing to love he can have now.
She has succeeded in molding him, but he doesn’t think she’s happy with the result. He is dried clay and sharp pottery shards all in too many pieces to put back together. It doesn’t stop her from trying.
Odysseus, Calypso, and seven long years.

Their partnership began with Viktor talking Jayce off a ledge. Years later, Jayce returns the favour.

"I don't understand- The mission went great, Cynthia's happy as a clam-"
"Yeah, mostly thanks to you, right?"
Owen stills.
"You're right. Everything went great, and I have no reason to be upset, so I'm not. I'm fucking peachy."
"Love," Owen says slowly, "Cynthia and I... You know we were just joking around, right? Please tell me you realize that."
Or, Owen takes a joke too far.
Title taken from Average by Sushi Soucy.
