While reaching out is a good idea in theory, you do have to remember that it's been over fifteen years since my "canon" was at it's peak. Seeing someone like Leeta here would be nothing short of a miracle.

I think it would be fascinating to meet persons from the "reboot", don't you agree?

"At least you still have a canon. Mine was overwritten, and the timeline I came from is almost completely forgotten."

There's a shrug in his voice, like he isn't sure whether or not he should be upset about it.

[julian_bashir]

Well, I... I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to draw a comparison.

[lifes_short_pop]

He shrugs. "I'm not so sure it's entirely a bad thing. The canon timeline worked out better in a lot of ways, I guess. My mom's still alive, and Pop's not hurting as much. Me not existing there...that's the trade-off. The mun here is trying to 'fuse the timelines' by seeing how much of my story can be told and still keep it compliant with canon."

"She knows your canon well enough, she just won't touch it anymore."

[julian_bashir]

Oh? Why not?

[theloquaciouslwaxana]

Well. Personally, I loved your canon. Simply adored it. Of course, my favorite episodes were the parts where I got to visit that darling Constable of yours.

[julian_bashir]

Oh! Hello Ambassador! I haven't seen you since you since you wedding. How have you been?

[theloquaciouslwaxana]

Oh, you know me -- I can't complain. Although I do keep asking myself when my daughter is finally going to see reason and settle down with a nice...

By the way. Did you say that you weren't currently seeing anyone? It is Doctor Bashir, isn't it?

[julian_bashir]

[Oh, he could see where this was going a mile away. He chuckled, slightly nervous.]

It is. And I suppose I'm technically seeing someone right now.

[its_me_curzon]

It's been that long? Man, time flies. Although, I guess how fast it flies depends on your point of view.

Ooooohmygosh! <3

[julian_bashir]

Oh, well for you I suppose it felt like just a few hours. [He's not serious.]

<3! It's awesome to see another Niner~

[its_me_curzon]

[She grins wryly.] Fifteen hours, fifteen minutes, what's the difference?

Any particular reason you thought of Leeta first? I think Miles wouldn't be happy to know that.

Ditto. Particularly Ezri. <3 Ahhh!

[julian_bashir]

Ah, well. I actually saw Miles a few weeks ago. And I also meant for a romantic relationship.

I had much higher hopes of seeing you. [Charming, right?]

[original_fine]

It's overrated.

I'm kidding. The kids are fine. Just, you know. There's no substitute for the real thing.

[julian_bashir]

Oh, I'll bet.

This is so odd. The last time I saw you we were trying desperately to blend into your timeline. And now, here, we can have a casual conversation as if the difference was nothing.

[original_fine]

Excuse me? Have we met?

[julian_bashir]

Well, not technically. You may recall it. I was part of your crew that was involved in a bar fight with Klingons. During the ah, Tribble incident. But I wasn't really part of your crew, we had travelled back in time to stop someone from, well, attempting to kill you.

[longsuffering sigh]

[original_fine]

Hey, kid.

[bornsnarky]

[snorts]

I think I'm still older'n you are, even if I'm not your Bones.

[ex_old_man857]

Some things stand the test of time, and my mun likes to think our canon is one of them.

[julian_bashir]

I hope so. Hello again, Jadzia.

[ex_old_man857]

You hope?

Hello, Julian.

[bornsnarky]

You called, fellow doctor?

[julian_bashir]

Oh, hello there! I'm afraid we haven't met before.

[bornsnarky]

Leonard McCoy. My mun's pleased to see you here.
