one time i joked about writing a Garak/O'Brien fic just for the palindrome… (“Miles/Elim” spells the same backward and forward if you ignore punctuation, which is the usual accepted rule for palindromes)
but then i was like. Why would these two do anything together?
What would they ever find that they have in common?
and then i realized
The thing they have in common
is another palindrome:
…
nail u, julian
