added suicide by pills

Added DiffLines:

* SuicideByPills: Discussed in the story "Rewiring", where Garak, who is suffering from severe withdrawal symptoms, looks at some sleeping pills. He notes that if he took one or two, he would sleep, and if he took all of them, he would die, and he sees both as viable options. Eventually, however, he decides to do neither and [[FunWithFlushing flushes them]] instead.

Added DiffLines:

* AbledInTheAdaptation: In one of the stories, Geordi is nearsighted (or possibly has astigmatism) instead of blind.
* AdaptationalJobChange:
** Bashir is now a medical ''student'' instead of a proper doctor.
** Sisko, Kira, and Jadzia Dax are now chefs instead of a captain/commander, first officer, and scientist respectively.
* AdaptationalSexuality: In the story ''Ace'', Odo is asexual (as opposed to in the series where he's seen being attracted to women occasionally).


Added DiffLines:

* RelatedInTheAdaptation: The Dax hosts are now all siblings.


Added DiffLines:

* SparedByTheAdaptation: One of the rules of the AU is that everybody lives, so that means that Dax's past hosts, [[spoiler: Ziyal]], etc, are still alive despite dying canonically.

'''''[[https://deepdishninearchive.tumblr.com/questions Deep Dish Nine]]''''' is a whole slew of alternate universe fan works for ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine''.

Because it has many authors, most of whom are not connected, it can appear inconsistent (in one work, for instance, Julian Bashir and Garak might be a couple whereas in another, they could be simply friends). However, there are always these rules.

* '''Everyone's human''': This is probably because it is set on Earth in modern times and it would be too much of a hassle coming up with a reason why a bunch of aliens are on Earth in the modern times. Consequently, they don't have traits unique to their species (for instance, Odo can no longer change form). Even though they're human, they're still called things like "Quark", "Garak", and "Odo".
* '''Everyone's alive''': This means that all the Dax hosts exist as siblings with the last name Dax, characters can't be killed off in the fan works, and everyone from the entire ''Franchise/StarTrek'' continuum (even up to ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'') exists at the same time.
* '''It's set in modern times, and on Earth''': This means that characters can't go to space, technology such as tricorders and phasers can't exist, etc.
* '''The space station is now three different places''': People often describe this rule by saying, "Deep Space Nine is now a pizza shop", but it'd be more accurate to say that Deep Space Nine is now ''three'' different places: first is the eponymous pizza shop, where the majority of the protagonists (Sisko, Kira, O'Brien, Worf, Odo, the Daxes, and Bashir) work, which is where the universe got its name, second is Quark's bar, which is now next door to the pizza shop, and third is the apartment building where everyone lives.

!! Tropes found in the works
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: All the aliens are now humans.
* AerithAndBob: Even though everybody's human, they still have their original names, so "Benjamin Sisko" still hangs out with "Odo".
* AlternateUniverseFic: All of the fan works are set in an alternate universe where everyone is a normal modern-day human.
* {{Asexuality}}: In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/2549447 Ace]]'', Odo and Ziyal are romantic asexuals.
* CrackFic: Some aspects of the universe are a bit surreal, such as the humans having alien names.
* DarkFic: ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/937980/chapters/1835554 Rewiring]]'' changes Garak's addiction to a wire to a drug addiction and plays his symptoms up as a lot worse.
* SlashFic: Some of them ship Garak and Bashir.
