    Summary

    When Q is fourteen, and his father has buggered off, his mother turns to him (two glasses of wine deep) and says, “In this world, there’s only one person you can lean on, and that’s yourself.”

    As Q will find out, it's both true and not true.

    Summary

    "Her will was read today. She left you this. Maybe it was her way of telling you to take a desk job." Eve holds out a black box, and inside it, wrapped in black paper, the bulldog figurine from M's bookshelf.
    Bond opens the box, looking at it with hard eyes for a moment. "Just the opposite." A heartbeat's pause. "Thank you."

    --

    What follows is a reimagining of the events between Skyfall and Spectre with a good dash of slow-burn 00Q.
    Warnings preemptively for awkward metaphorical dancing around each other, my Q muse being stronger than my Bond muse, silly beat-to-death tropes, and my long love affair with abusing hyphenations.

    Summary

    Bond is injured while on a mission which isn't necessarily surprising. What is surprising is that he decides to go to Q and that he keeps going back to Q when he's hurt or vulnerable. In which James Bond has to re-learn the meaning of trust, what Q means to him, and that there is, in fact, someone out there who cares very much about his well-being.

    Summary

    James Bond can't sleep anymore, and he doesn't want to. Sleeping means thinking, and thinking means remembering, and remembering is far too painful. Bond's insomnia is beginning to impact MI6, and Moneypenny takes things into her own hands.

    Summary

    The new recruits know what they’re getting into about as well as he did at their age. The job might kill them, or leave them wishing they were dead. But isn’t that part of the attraction when you’re young and sure that life has nothing to offer you but adrenaline?

    He’d been sure of that, too, at one point.

    (This morning, Theo had climbed into bed with them long before their alarm had gone off and planted a damp kiss on his nose.)

    Summary

    Coming home to an empty flat every time they clear out his things gets exhausting. Sometimes more than the actual missions. He’s getting too old to not look forward to the familiar. To not find comfort in someone waiting for him to return home. But he doesn’t have that. He can’t have that.

    Summary

    They were very different people. Their lives went in completely separate directions. There was no way they could each understand the other's lifestyle, but this would never stop them from trying. And at first, they never really expected it to matter, anyway.

    Summary

    “You look ridiculous.”
    “Go fuck yourself.”
    Q rolled his eyes as Bond went back to scrolling through his phone, lips pursed dramatically as he leaned back against the wall. Q Branch was nearly empty except for the two of them and a couple of the minions, the perpetual whirring of machinery filling the air. “Only if you plan on joining me,” the Quartermaster replied without a second thought.
    The agent smirked a bit, glancing up from his phone to raise a brow at him. “Want to take a lunch break? Or I could help you clean off your desk again…”
    Q scoffed as his delicate fingers continued to fly across the keyboard. “Oh, please, 007. That’s unprofessional.”
    Bond chuckled darkly as he leaned in close to whisper in the younger man’s ear. “You didn’t seem to mind last week.”

    Summary

    The destruction ended and Bond had escaped late at night, but the agent had immediately gone off the grid, wanting to bask in his own misery, or at least drown it in the nearest alcohol, and Q didn’t want to stop working until he found him. He wouldn’t contact him, Q knew it would cause 007 to run even further and for longer, but he just wanted to check he was safe.

    “Just like I would for all my agents,” he reminded himself, quietly.

     

    ***

    After a mission gone wrong, Q takes Bond to his family's home where Bond learns that he's not be the only one with a past. Being scheduled on a duo-mission with said Quartermaster a few days later seems like the perfect opportunity to get to know him even better... Doesn't it?

    Summary

    Another one of those Q-gets-kidnapped-and-Bond-freaks-out fics. But more vague, more about Bond's psyche, less romantic, more desperate.

    Summary

    Q is the greatest actor on earth, and he's managed to fool 007 AND get his equipment handed in all in one piece. It's been far too much fun in the process. Poor Bond didn't know he'd been played, until suddenly he did.
