... whatever it's many other failings, 'Skin Deep' could fairly be called a 'bodice ripper'. But hell: *she* got all the good action stuff, *she* ripped her own damn bodice off, *she* got on top and stayed there, *and* in the end... well they certainly did *not* get married and live happily ever after. So is that formula, or not? <shrug> Do I care? Not really. It came out how it came out. And I knew very well when I posted it that Dukat fans, and Kira/Dukat fans in particular, would probably like it well enough, but that those who just don't like Dukat, or can't bear the thought of him getting his scaly gray hands on Kira (even for a brief interlude), wouldn't bother to download it.
Personally, my biggest worry in working with that pairing at all is to *not* whitewash Dukat, but still give him some appeal. I never considered Kira as some icon of womanhood whose dignity needed preserving (she is *quite* capable of doing that for herself) -- I just try to make her true to the character as portrayed on the show (if, perhaps, just a little more *flexible*;)).
