  Summary

  Trapped on Cardassia when a new government installs itself, Garak and Julian must find a way to keep Julian out of a prison camp. But what if the only way to accomplish that is to get married? And what happens when Cardassian biology throws a wrench in their plans.

  Pretty much just forced marriage and sex pollen.
