In other news, I definitely didn't mean to write Deep Space Nine fic before finishing the series, and yet HERE WE ARE.

Our Bodies, Our Selves

This fic is entirely borne out of the moment when Kira agreed to move in with the O'Briens and let Molly have free run of her room, and Debi and I flinched in unison. Kira, I promise, you will want that personal space!

(And then it turned out I couldn't write about Kira and surprise physical transformations without also writing about Odo and surprise physical transformations, because, like, that literally happens the next episode. BODY ISSUES FOR EVERYONE!)

Jake Sisko had once won a 'bizarre foods from your homeworld' contest at Quark's by having the replicator create him a turducken. She kept thinking about that at the worst times.

+1.

I didn't know either of the plotlines to which this story refers, but it explains itself very well. Also, jeez, DS9 writers, what were you thinking?

Thank you!

Mostly I think they were thinking "CRAP Nana Visitor is pregnant, now what are we gonna do -- oh hey, isn't that other character in that other storyline having a baby? OKAY OKAY I HAD A BRAINSTORM" -- which is fine as far as it goes, I guess, but did lead to some ... slightly weird storytelling ...
