From Cardassia, Garak writes to explain why he sent the doctor "A Stitch in Time" (aka. a full length novel addressed directly to Bashir) rather than, you know, just corresponding like a normal person and mailing a letter.

Something happened during The War. Something, twenty years later, the Federation will go to any lengths to keep quiet. Sisko is gone. But the Cardassian tailor is still alive. As is the young doctor who followed an order. Living in Lakat and trying to forget the past, Julian Bashir is about to find out just what he and his hero did In The Pale Moonlight...

O'Brien and Bashir are caught up in the events of In The Pale Moonlight. And there's nothing they can do about it. Somewhere, Sisko is losing sleep over the finer points of morality. Somewhere, someone is telling Garak he can have a data-rod for eight-five litres of bio-memetic gel. And far beyond all that Benny Russell is dreaming about what people do when nothing ever changes.

Shortly after The Wire, two characters who communicate almost entirely in subtext, allusions and fiction search for a lost copy of Breakfast at Tiffany's in order to get to lunchtime at Quark's. Set in Bashir's oddly minimalist quarters. Jules's bear makes a cameo appearance.

The Pandorica was under Stonehenge for a reason. The Doctor pays an earlier visit.
