Summary
"Life in Arkham, it seemed to Ed, was an endless parade of discomforts, indignities, and outrages." Ed reflects on his difficulties in getting some basic needs met -- especially one bodily need that poses a particular challenge, and the evolution in the thoughts his mind uses to help his body along.

Summary
Jim knew that something was wrong from the moment the campaign staffer described Councillor Caulfield's killer: "short, fancy clothes, walked funny." It made little sense for Penguin to attack mayoral candidates—his business had never depended on who was in City Hall—and even less sense to target two different candidates. But his first instinct wasn't to say that there must be a lot of short guys out there with funny walks, and it probably wasn't Oswald. Instead, his gut told him it was Oswald, and something was wrong.

Summary
Written for drabble prompts in the Gamma Quadrant Discord; all Garak or Garashir-focused so far, but I might branch out. Ordered chronologically by when they're set, not when I wrote them, because I'm just Like That. (My bookshelf is also ordered chronologically.)
