AU

30minuteloop:

@somerandomchoice and I brainstormed the hell out of an AU where the Discovery characters are in the Deep Space Nine storyline. I haven’t been writing much lately but I am so so so into it. Just imagine: Paul and Hugh on DS9, Paul as a civilian scientist attached to a Bajoran university (who never joins Starfleet), Hugh as the second-in-command in the infirmary (he should be running the place, you know, but getting posted on a station anywhere was the only way he and Paul could be together, and Bashir needed the help). Many other Disco favorites are on a science ship that regularly works in the area, headed by Captain Burnham. (Personally I would be fine if Lorca doesn’t exist in this AU at all.)

Can’t you just imagine Paul and Nerys teaming up to chew out Dukat for some BS? Or Hugh attempting to rein in his overenthusiastic puppy boss with a penchant for pining after unavailable women? What would Hugh and Paul think about the interaction between Bashir and Garak?

SO MANY POSSIBILITIES

Here is the first draft of the first scene of what might be a story, I dunno. It takes place prior to S3E6, The Abandoned:

*cracks knuckles*

Julian Bashir was born autistic, and after undergoing genetic augmentation retains several autistic characteristics but no longer perfectly fits the diagnosis. Because of this he never received any help or guidance with his autistic traits.

The alien doctors who performed the augmentation were not experts in human autism, so to them Bashir looked as though the augmentation was a complete success. His parents were so thrilled with the change they did’t allow themselves to acknowledge they didn’t get the son they paid for. If they had they undoubtably would have taken him back for more “fixing”.

Julian himself doesn’t know.

Also the way genetically enhanced people are treated in DS9 by society is as if they have “sci-fi autism” anyway
