I'm back to doing those two at a time

Challenge #6 favourite piece of original canon
Since I'm a multifandom ~~whore~~ fanatic this is really difficult, I scrolled through the comments on the post for some inspiration and people brought up very powerful scenes and characters etc. The Death's speech about believe at the end of The Hogfather, scenes from Star Trek and others brought back some very powerful memories.
Two things come to my mind:

1. The scene in DS9 when Dr. Bashir meets Garak for the first time. It is less about the scene itself and more about how it came to be and what this first meeting in canon will lead to. From Andrew Robinson apparently deciding on the fly to play Garak as absolutely horny for the dear Doctor and Alexander Siddig picking it up and playing along to A Stitch in Time, which if you don't know reads like an overly complicated love letter from Garak to Dr. Bashir.

2. Beatrice from Much Ado about Nothing. I could end it right there, cause she's awesome. But there is a little detail that stuck out to me: Beatrice is probably an heiress.

It's not in the text I know, but bare with me. Beatrice is Leonato's niece. Leonato's brother Antonio barely interacts with Beatrice it's never made clear that they are father and daughter, if anyone acts parental towards Beatrice it's Leonato. She's listed as his niece not someone's daughter in the dramatis personae, everything points to her being a ward of her uncle - none of this would make sense if she's Antonio's daughter. So let's assume she's not, that would make her the daughter of a sibling of Innogen, Leonato's wife and a ghost character, who is only mentioned in the dramatis personae in early edition, but doesn't get a single line of dialogue. Innogen and Beatrice might be the only two people remaining from this family, which would make Beatrice a potential heiress.

In addition Beatrice has no real pressure - yeah, people assume she will marry one day, cause everyone does, and they tease her about it, but no one tells her that she needs a man to secure her future, which realistically would be the case unless she makes money or has inherited money.

So I think Beatrice is an heiress and I love her to bits.

Edit: Hit enter too early and it posted only half the post. I'm trying to fix it.
