A Julian who can let his enhancements off the leash without so much as a raised eyebrow or funny look. But who also has to completely reign in his emotions - his sense of humour, his righteous anger, his grief - for far longer than is healthy for him.

I think he'd think he'd be fine with it; after all, he spent most of his life hiding his enhancements, how different could hiding his emotions be? Only to discover that while his enhanced abilities have defined his life, his emotions are what define him.

[At first I was thinking in a 'he disguises himself through the Academy until his discovery' way and how that would change him.]

[And then was like 'what if his parents did it at Adigeon Prime and then pretended they'd adopted a Vulcan (and maybe gaslit him into thinking he was Vulcan along the way?)']

[But both of those require quite a high level of suspension of disbelief]

[But also what if it was Terok-Nor-AU where Julian's discovered during the Academy and goes on the run and disguises himself as a Vulcan until the Federation turn up on Deep Space Nine]

[And then the more obvious idea turned up of it being an undercover mission]

[Either on Sisko's orders (although I can't really imagine why apart from somehow infiltrating the Vulcan baseball team which actually is just funny]

[Or a Section 31 mission, because while I can imagine there could be a few select Vulcans who would find S31 'logical', I feel like it would be pretty high-risk to try and recruit a Vulcan to actually be an agent, so the next best choice if you needed a Vulcan for some reason would be Julian I guess.]

there is something deeply wrong with them

"And I'm the charismatic mercenary with a gruff exterior, but a heart of gold. A little too romantic, don't you think?"

I finally finished painting this absolute monSTER of a body pillow after putting him off for so long whEEZES
