Nusquam (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Fanfiction)

[selenak]

The Star Trek Holiday ficathon stories have been revealed. My own contribution was a return to DS9 and the Cardassians, though a combination I had written previously only in relations to other people about, save in a drabble. My recipient wanted a story focused on Ziyal and Dukat, and exploration of the time they spent on Cardassia between the episodes Indiscretion and Return to Grace. Now as I said, I’ve written Dukat before, and Ziyal also shows up in some (other) of my stories. But this was a chance to explore Ziyal at a key transition point of her (brief) life, and so I could do something new in one of my oldest fandoms, which I found very rewarding:
