Quodo fic idea where Odo’s trying to figure out the best way to propose to Quark and he’s getting advice from everyone but ultimately he decides to just search up Ferengi proposal customs. So, in his research he finds out that Ferengi men often purchase the most valuable amount of substance they can find and offer it to the woman (Or her Father), if it’s not a high enough amount the female can reject and ridicule the male. Worried that he might be ridiculed by Quark, Odo searches for weeks to find the most expensive type of substance he can find and makes sure to find it lawfully. So eventually he finds something that seems to be highly valuable and when he actually proposes to Quark with it he gets a bit nervous because Quark's gone silent and is now just staring at the padd in front of him which shows the amount Odo’s collected and Odo’s worried that he’s messed it up and that it’s really not enough or Quark wouldn’t want to be proposed to like this and this whole idea was stupid and a mess and Quark’s just gearing up to publicly shame him or-
Meanwhile, cut to Quark who has never been more flustered in his life. His brain has short-circuited, his palms are wet, his heart is pounding, his pants are tight, and most of all he’s just stunned. Stunned that Odo - who owns almost nothing and has repeatedly stated how idiotic solids are with material possessions they hold such worth and insults Quark about his love for profit - of all people, has just proposed and offered Quark a fortune of money and profit that could rival the Grand Nagus!?
