commotiocordisFinished aforementioned mpreg fic.
If anyone likes DS9 Garak/Bashir at all, this is a really good story. It takes place when (in canon) Kira took Keiko's baby when she was in the accident. Done obviously to cover up Nana Visitor's pregnancy. But in this story (more realistically, in my opinion) Kira could not take the baby due to differences in Bajoran/Human physiology. Therefore, the only other human on the shuttle had to: Bashir. It goes from there, describing problems with the pregnancy to problems with Bajornans objecting to the concept of male pregnancy, and brings Garak and Bashir together in a convincing and realistic way.
Most importantly for me, they made the concept of male pregnancy believable medically, describing (not in detailed medispeak like I talk in, but well enough) the hormones and surgeries and problems that went along with his ordeal. It is detailed, ties in canon from that time period in the show (but vaguely enough that the episodes involved are not majorly spoiled beyond the fact that they obviously all live though it), and features all the DS9 characters.
In all, probably the best mpreg fic I've ever read.
