Is that really what happened? Andrew J. Robinson's book implied some sort of quiet falling after the holonovel mishap where Bashir had to shoot Garak.. but I never got the feeling that they were intentionally separated. Just that in the storyline they were doing [mainly the Dominion war] they didn't have enough time to sit around chatting over lunch.

Regardless, I think they would have split naturally. Garak and Julian have very very different ideals. Over the backdrop of a war, things could have gotten messy.

I could be wrong, and the show writers really did interfere. After all, their reaction to overt Dukat sympathy from the fanbase was to turn him into a looney tunes supervillain. Of all the Star Treks, DS9 was pretty darn squirrelly about character gray areas.

Yes, the show runners really did interfere at the time. Not that I think "changed my mind" is necessarily bad - Nana Visitor made them not have a Kira/Dukat storyline by flat-out refusing to do it - but yes, it's well-known and Robinson's book is a retcon to explain why they weren't seen together so often. And Bashir had plenty of time to chat to O'Brien or Ezri...

Wow. They wanted Kira/Dukat? I can totally see why she'd refuse to do that.
