1940s Kira.

I really want some shoes like that.

I now hunger for an AU where Kira and Odo have a PI agency, and their frenemy is Garak, the local crime lord. Rumor on the street has it he is trying to woo the new Chief Medical Examiner (okay, even 7th season Bashir is way too young for such a position, but still, AU).

Kira and Odo have their office above Quark’s speakeasy, much to Odo’s chagrin. But it is a great place to collect gossip and work, so they stay. They get much of their work from the downtrodden, the disenfranchised, so they have a paying scale.

And adventures and stuff.

OR what if Julian is the idealistic young doctor trying to practise on the wrong side of town and he’s the person they go to for patching up after getting all banged up on their investigations?

Yes, this! At first, they think Julian is just slumming, trying to feel important by bringing his fancy this-universe equivalent of east coast Ivy League medicine to the down and out part of town. But then! He proves himself by hiding them when the out-of-towner Dukat sends his right-hand man, Damar, after them for investigating his sex slave trade ring, when it would have been safer to give them up. Standing up to that racket is no mean feat.

I imagine Julian’s practice being declared neutral ground by the various factions in town. Their, cops, criminals, the poor and the less-poor, go there in truce and anyone who raises a hand on his ground is quickly shown that is Not How Things Are Done.

Getting Kira and Odo’s approval was probably the high-light of Julian’s life.

Second only to the way Garak turns up in the middle of the night with grisly injuries for him to treat, which he claims are ‘sewing accidents.’

Some of which may have been sustained in the course of explaining to large, angry people that that is Not How Things Are Done.

Would this make Sisko the head of homocide, with Jadzia handling Forensics, and are allied with Kira and Odo, sending them free-lance work on overloaded cases, and giving them tips on where to go unofficial like? Because I would like this a lot. A lot.

Kira and Odo would be suspicious at first, because some of the police are on either Garak’s or Dukat’s payroll, and it wouldn’t be the first time someone on the law force tried to frame them this way. But gradually, he earns their respect, when he is willing to bend the law to help people from all walks of life, while trying to hold fast to his principles.

Picard can be the police commissioner, and Data the head of Vice crime with Ro Laren and Geordi, who Julian quickly takes a liking to when they encounter each other at Quark’s, much to Garak’s suspicion.

YUP TO THIS

OR

you know I’m just combining this with Law & Order: UFP, but Picard could be the crusading silver fox DA

because I never get tired of that
