Have some Odo/Kira.

***⚠️WARNING: brief flashing lights⚠️***

Actually it’s a series of fics. My Freedom series. This roller coaster starts at the last scene of The Begotten because I wasn’t totally satisfied with the unfinished business between Odo and Doctor Mora, and I wanted that lil baby Changeling to get another chance, sooooo...

Odo has a baby (mpreg), he’s in love with Kira but trying to keep it secret, and Doctor Mora comes to terms with how deep his ignorance was and badly he screwed up with Odo.

Doctor Mora has changed for the better and gets a chance to prove it when Odo entrusts his baby to him to keep it away from the Dominion. Doctor Mora promises to raise the baby changeling and let it go home if it wants to after the Dominion war ends. So no experiments or anything.

The baby’s name is Kejal. He decides to be a man when he takes humanoid shape later. Doctor Mora raises Kejal like his own for the first ten years of his life and makes sure he knows who his mother is. When the war ends (in all forms, not just the fighting itself), he keeps his promise and takes Kejal home to the Great Link. Odo is able to see, via the Link, that Doctor Mora kept his word.

20 years later (30 years after the final episode of the show), Doctor Mora comes to the Founders home world to tell Odo and Kejal that he is terminally ill. This leads to Odo being reunited with Kira as he and Kejal return to Bajor to take care of Doctor Mora in his final days.

Kejal is heartbroken and kinda goes into denial, and his tension is brought on by whether or not he will come around to accept what is happening in time. Odo gets to see with his eyes how close they are. He goes through a lot because he wants that too. He gets so confused about so many things.

Kira is a big help when Odo has to relive his trauma and struggle through the confusion of “how do I deal with this pain and anger when he didn’t realize he was hurting me at the time?” She gets Odo to see that ignorance to harm doesn’t excuse the harm.

Odo’s tension is based on will he and Doctor Mora sit down to have the conversation he’s been avoiding. Doctor Mora spends much of the story trying to reach out to Odo while getting all his affairs in order and Odo keeps brushing him off because he doesn’t know how to have this conversation.

Then he sees Doctor Mora getting sicker and struggles to reconcile what he remembers with what is real now.

And when they finally have their moment, Odo undergoes a small shapeshifter evolution right before Doctor Mora’s eyes and is finally able to wholly express the pain he’s had inside all his life.

This fic series is deeply personal to me because I wrote it as I was coming to the realization that I grew up being emotionally abused by somebody who knew what they were doing but thought they were right to do it. I know not everyone wants to forgive their abuser, but I want to...someday. (Still hasn’t happened yet, he keeps giving me reasons to not do it 😤). 

So I took my own confusion and turned it into these stories. I love Odo so desperately much that I want him to have better than me, which is exactly what he wished for Kejal.

The final fic in the series is a journey of faith where Odo comes full circle into who he was, who he is and who he will be. He is really the central character whose story is being told even though other POVs are written. It’s a testament to what he means to me and where I think he’s going.

Expect some NSFW stuff and TW for past abuse, pregnancy / childbirth (albeit unusual) and illness / death.

The second to the last chapter of my first novel length fic ever. Deep Space Nine and Odo and Kira will always be dear to my heart. Post Series Finale. I had to fix some things that canon messed up.

And can I just say, I love how Kira's priestly boyfriend Vedek Barreil is getting jealous over how much time Kira spends with Jadzia Dax. Even her guy is like, "um, how come you so gay with the 400 year old space worm in a hot & brainy bod? What am I, chopped hasperat?"
