Bashir's solution for laying the ghosts of their tormentors to rest does not have the result he expects... Author's note: "This story depicts the occurrence of a violent and disturbing event in the lives of Garak and Bashir, as well as my interpretation of Garak's possible equally violent reaction to such an event. Thus, the actions portrayed here may be upsetting to some readers; my intent was simply to explore one possible resolution. The story is set shortly after "The Maquis."") (30 pages)

- Breakfast at Julian's by GoldenDye (54)
- Nursery Rhymes by BGM (Author's note: "NOTE: The term 'Heldek Stor' was borrowed with permission from The Plaid Adder. Thanks Plaidder! Editor's note: This story was substantially written in 1996, before the episodes "In Purgatory's Shadow" and "Doctor Bashir, I Presume" were aired. Nevertheless, I think that even though certain characterisations now need to be viewed as being from an AU the story still stands on its own merits.")

- With Just One Touch by Diana Bloomfield (86)

- I Never by The Plaid Adder (written in script form, sequel to "The Horror, The Horror" in issue #1.) (102)
- Heat by Joanne Francis (Author's note: "Here is the sequel to my very first work of fanfiction, "House Call", which I wrote over the '96 Christmas holidays. If you haven't read "House Call", published in "A Plain And Simple Zine #10", why, you are missing out on a priceless cultural and literary experience! :) Strictly speaking though, you don't have to have read "House Call" to enjoy its sequel, but you would probably enjoy it more. I've revised the time frame of these two stories from between "The Wire" and "In Purgatory's Shadow" to between shortly after "Improbable Cause" and "The Die Is Cast" up to "In Purgatory's Shadow". This is done solely to accommodate the appearance of Garak's red suit and the open neck collars. This story also includes knowledge of Bashir's background that we don't get until "Dr. Bashir, I Presume". Grateful thanks are due to Terrie Drummonds for reviewing this story for me. Thank you!") (122)
- Earth by Mary Knasinski ("Gul Elim Garak and his prisoner Captain Julian Bashir survive the crash of their ship, but all is not as the Cardassian is expecting. Where exactly is it that they have landed?") (138)
