Not that I ever did when I was that age, no sirree. Warning: This is my first drabble ever, so it may be extremely bad / vague / incomprehensible / all of the above. But I couldn't help it, DS9 drabble fever is catching! Oh yeah, and watch out for some nudity and whips :-). Spoilers: DS9 season #3, especially "The Die is Cast." Disclaimer: I'd treat these characters much worse if I actually owned them. Really. Summary: The quote says it all. A companion drabble, that is not part loves her thesaurus @ hotmail.com (without spaces) or on the list. Archiving: Well, it doesn't take up much room, so I guess it's okay if it follows you home. Quote that inspired the title: "There is no revenge so complete as forgiveness." Josh Billings, 1815-1885 Revenge Kneeling, Garak shivers, telling himself it's the cold air against his naked skin and not anticipation. The first slap of the whip is gentle, but painful blows soon follow. Garak remains mute, for this punishment is deserved, and it's his duty to make it last. His left neck ridge is slashed hard, and Garak screams, his control broken. Instantaneously, the dark lashes of the whip transform into gold. Odo flows over his body like living water, before coalescing alongside him. When the Changeling kisses him, Garak realizes that, once again, he's serving someone he fears, for Odo's forgiveness terrifies him. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ ASCEM messages are copied to a mailing list.
