"Maybe you should back off a little, sire. Wouldn't want to singe that perfect golden mane of yours…"
"Why, Merlin, I had no idea you have such a fixation with my hair. Perhaps you ought to direct your attention to the archers over there though, they seem to be aiming for your head.”

Summary
Yes, this version of 007 was a terrifyingly smart agent, and M wondered long and often whether it had been a good idea to promote him to the position. Usually, the title was the dangerous part - being 007 meant deadliness - but this time, M feared that a certain man with ice-blue eyes and scruffy blonde hair had dragged in more danger to the title than it had previously possessed
Enter MI6's new Quartermaster: an unassuming, bespectacled genius with no mind for subterfuge but plenty of genius behind a dry smile. Curious 00-agents and young boffins don't always mix in predictable ways...

#Q is cool as a cucumber #who is more than capable in remaining unfazed by a certain 00 agent #or at least outwardly #lethal!Bond #slowburn #Q becomes a target #kidnapped!Q
A little bit draggy. Features Q that is more down-to-earth and 'human' (good with the brainy stuff but average at everything else) in the sense that he pretends to be unruffled but is often actually not. It's a much less put-together Q than I would like.

Summary
The Burnish have few leaders, and so many duties fall to the leader of Mad Burnish simply because there's no one else to do them. Lio takes them seriously, each and every one, and so the Burnish continue to come to him even after the world changes again.
One of those duties is to perform weddings.

FAV FAV FAV!
-Heart-wrenchingly sweet in such subtle yet piercing ways.
-Love the author's voice?? (and I do feel that it's essentially THEIR voice that they've lent these characters; that shaped these gestures and words.) Like, the opening scene where we're seeing through Galo's observation @ Lio having this particular tick when he's about to ask a question - I really liked how that all played out. The list of questions he's asked. Something small like that... yet I felt like I've gone through 5k of backstory just from the lines in that scene alone. It was so good! And that was the least of it because this entire story has so many of those tiny yet resonating moments. SO MANY.-Lio's speech!!!!!! Ahhhhh!!! Blew me away.
-The way this author writes Galo.... has to be among my favourite takes. They're so good at conveying his kindness/thoughtfulness in deceptively simple, throwaway sentences that somehow manages to paint more story than a whole paragraph. Example of a great line:
(He thinks more than he'd like about the cave, and Lio saying that the Burnish need to eat as much as any human. He wishes he hadn't said that; he doesn't want to rush into saying something like that again. He'll rush in better directions.)-Devastatingly lovely. I would go over every other line several times, over and over, because of how GOOD I thought they were.
-There's a sense of stability and ease with how GaloLio was written here. I loved that.
EDIT: Author has this particular way of writing Galo that's incredibly distinct (I've not seen this in anyone else's) and theirs is currently one of my fav Galos that I've come across in fics so far. I love how casually, thoughtlessly kind he is. Like, in an intrinsic way? (Which is very HIM.) And there's just this underlying tone of gentleness surrounding him, always. So good.

This was good. Achingly bittersweet but also lovely. Basically deals with Lio who still has moments where his trauma affects him and the tears just won't stop, and how Galo is helpless and unsure on how to help but tries his best anyway.

Bookmarker's Notes
This has to be my ULTIMATE all time favourite AOS K/S fic. It's unabashedly gratuitous (and I mean that by way of the highest, most flattering form of praise. This fic is unafraid to be rewarding, it spoils the readers generously, for example, in terms of the camaraderie between the characters, cause & effect, etc, and that is a very good thing imo. It's refreshing and I've hardly ever felt the same amount of overall satisfaction on other K/S fics quite like this one), while also being a DAMN good story. Also has genius!Jim in it, which I adore! There isn't enough genius!Jim around, lbh. This fic left such a huge impression on me and I always find myself coming back to it again without fail. It's just that much of a heartwarming, joy-inducing experience! <33
