27	''[[http://www.trekiverse.org/archive/2000/adult/ds9/ScorchedEarth Scorched Earth]]'' by Una [=McCormack=]
28	* Recommended by Troper Jysella and Vash Ti
29	* ''Status'': Complete
30	* ''Synopsis'': AU – Enabran Tain's plan to eliminate the Founder homeworld is successful, and Garak joins the newly-ascended Obsidian Order as it takes over Cardassia... and has some serious doubts while doing it. It's of the "long and plotty" AU variety, and utilizes original characters very well. It's also one of the few fics where a canon character has kids that didn't make me want to kick things. If the author's name looks familiar it's because she's written professional Star Trek novels, including The Never Ending Sacrifice.). This is superb, as all [=McCormack's=] writing is.

73	* Recommended by Marcus S Lazarus
74	* ''Status'': Complete
75	* Synopsis: The Defiant follows a Dom. ship through time to the darkest era of Earth's history. The Holocaust. Dr. Bashir centric.
76	* Notes: Not only a fascinating historical, but a fascinating exploration of all the accompanying issues, ranging from Bashir still dealing with his concerns about how nobody realised he'd been replaced for a month to the sheer horrors of life in a concentration camp (as well as [[spoiler:the issues involved in how to get Bashir out of there and capturing the Changeling without unintentionally violating the Temporal Prime Directive and killing someone who shouldn't die]]).

81	* Synopsis: Kira, O'Brien and Odo find themselves flung to the far reaches of the galaxy after an accident in the wormhole. Thinking their friends dead, the crew of the station try to cope.
82	* Notes: An engaging plot with some excellent OCs and the introduction of a new civilisation; the only real problem is that they never followed it up.

101	* Synopsis: Julian's parents get discovered by the Federation before they can have Julian enhanced. He gets put in the care of his aunt, Innogen Bashir.
102	* Notes: An AU, but a really good one. It's writen from the perspective of his aunt, as her life gets turned upside down when she suddenly gets custody of a six year old Julian. The story follows him as he grows up.

175	* Recommended by: Sithking Zero
176	* ''Status'': Dormant
177	* ''Crossover with'': ''VideoGame/MassEffect''.
178	* ''Synopsis'': The ''Normandy'' and its crew are forced into the Trekverse by the Reapers. The ''Defiant'' is there to meet them. Now, two sets of very similar groups are forced together, fighting for whats right. In between just hanging out of course.
179	** Sithking Zero: An excellent story that doesn't look down on the ''Mass Effect'' side of things simply because they don't have super duper magical hypertechnology, as so many fanfics sadly do. Shows just how similar the two casts are, while allowing improvements to come naturally to both sides. Desperately needs a Tropes Page.
