"The codicil concerning Doctor Bashir indicated a ninety-four percent likelihood that he would seek the aid of his former lover and Deep Space Nine crewmate, Captain Ezri Dax. Instead, he ran to Castellan Elim Garak."

No spoilers, but Section 31: Control ends with Garak talking about how Bashir will be "jealously guarded by someone who loves him." Please read this book.
"It was possible, Bashir realized, that he was only imagining that he heard some undertone of bitterness in Garak's voice whenever he mentioned Sarina, but he was sure he had heard his old friend correctly."
- Section 31: Control
Then right after this, he asks Garak to call him Julian.
Sarina Douglas records a message she hopes never gets sent.

STARFLEET END OF SERVICE PROTOCOL

DELIVER TO: BASHIR, JULIAN
[PLAY MESSAGE]

āHello, Julian.ā
āThis is⦠this the first time Iāve ever recorded one of these. Not that Iāve been in Starfleet very long, but until right now-ā
[EDITED]
āFirst, can you please make sure Lauren, Jack, and Patrick know what happened to me - whatever that might be? Iāve left them all some things in my will, but I think they have a right to know how I died.ā Sarina rolls her eyes like she can hear Julian chiding her. āYes, I know I could be recording one of these for them, but thereās just too much to explain, and no time to explain it now that Iām-
Her expression softens. āYouāll know what to say.ā
āNext, can you do your damndest to keep Starfleet from telling my parents what happened? I havenāt spoken to them sinceā Sarina blinks, trying to recall ā⦠I⦠honestly canāt remember speaking to them-ā
[EDITED]
ā -I didnāt have anyone to leave one of these messages for, really. I certainly wasnāt going leave one for my parents.ā
[EDITED]
āPlease donāt let anyone give them the idea that Iāve forgiven them. I havenāt. They stole everything from me, and I want them to understand that. Their daughter died long ago, but you get that, Julian. Youāre the only one who does-ā
[EDITED]
Sarina laughs a little, shaking her head. āYouāre never going to see this, Julian, because I know if Iām dead so are you. Seriously, Julian-ā
[EDITED]
āAlso, until right now, I wasnāt really worried about dying, I guess. Not that I think Iām invincible. Far from it. Iāve just been so focused on living that I havenāt had time to think about how I might die.
āI try my best to put on a brave face. I think my stability is a good match for your recklessness, hm?ā Sarina smirks, but it fades quickly. āIām not so sure anymore.ā
[EDITED]
ā - for someone whoās genetically enhanced you can be pretty stupid.ā
[EDITED]
āPlease, donāt get yourself killed over me, Julian. Promise me. One of us has to keep living, and as much as Iād rather it be me-ā
Sarina looks over her shoulder and turns back to the monitor. āYouāre coming, so time to wrap this nonsense up. Julian, I love you. Thank you for giving me a future. Donāt be so reckless with your life anymore, okay? See you soon.ā

So I read Enigma Tales yesterday, and now I just canāt stop thinking about how much Garak really does love Julian. I mean, not only did Parmak say āI donāt think he could have done anything different and remained the same. Remained the man you loved.ā But also in Section 31: Control Garak takes Julian back to Cardassia to be āJealously guarded by someone who loved him.ā And I just... Iām accepting this as canon now.
