    Summary

    London isn’t as safe for his heart as James Bond had assumed.

    When Q is badly injured in an accident, to everyone’s surprise—including Q's!—James volunteers to move into the quartermaster’s flat and assist with the first week of his convalescence. Their time alone together will test James’s acting skills and his resolve; can James conceal his deep feelings from Q? Or will Q finally catch on to James Bond's secret?

    Summary

    “I bet you can’t name five things that make me an attractive option.” Q cocks his head, as if considering Bond. “We can’t all seduce our way to as long a trail of broken lovers as you. Even at your advanced age.”

    Q thinks Bond is incapable of actually being offended, hence why he feels safe to throw aspersions his way. Indeed, Bond’s eyes register surprise, then they crinkle in amusement.

    “I bet you I can name six.”

    “Hmm?”

    “Six reasons why our dear Quartermaster is a catch. Number one, you’re incredibly charming.”

    +

    Or, what if Bond crashes Q’s date that night and never bloody leaves. A slow burn following NTTD and beyond, including Bond and Q discovering what they want in life and how to be the kind of people that can hold onto it.

    Summary

    Q wouldn’t call himself a brave man. Bravery was for agents. Firefighters. Soldiers. The sorts of people who faced the flesh-and-blood realities of life and death. Q had never been made for it.

    ---

    Q doesn't think he has it in him to face what he must face. Unfortunately, life happens anyway.

    Summary

    The first time they sleep together, it is not about love.

    Summary

    Once upon a time, James confessed that he liked it: the bantering, the bickering, the quarrelling, the squabbling. Q tended to agree. He still does. He loves it, in fact: the ceaseless banter, a spot of bickering, the occasional quarrel or squabble. He loves it dearly. He loves it as much as he hates a proper row, which is certainly what this is now.

    Six times that James and Q have a full-blown fight, or: five times the cats took sides, and one time they didn’t.

    Summary

    Traceability: the ability to chronologically interrelate uniquely identifiable entities in a way that is verifiable

    Trace: (v) to find or discover by investigation; (n) a mark, object or other indication of the existence or passing of something

    --

    [ a post-Skyfall James Bond and Q-centric series ]

    In which James Bond continues his work as a Double-O agent with a new reckless streak and Q is ever the voice in his earpiece, the supplier of his equipment and an anchor back to MI6.

    This is a series of interconnected stories on the development of Bond and Q's relationship - as individuals and professionals who take note of and fixate on each other after the Silva incident, who grow close to each other in increments until they eventually become a very important feature in each other's lives. Duty - and soon after, trust - is what binds them.

    Love, possibly, comes after.

    Summary

    “Paperwork for the new head of Q-Branch,” Tanner said.

    “Of course.” The words were like glass in his throat. Smoke inhalation was a bitch. His brain felt slow and foggy, like it was full of smoke too. “Who shall I take them to?”

    M lifted one white brow. “They’re for you, Quartermaster.”

     

    Bond and Q are drawn together by names, work, and a certain Aston Martin. In which Q is kidnapped once, Bond is poisoned twice, and Eve is a badass on at least three occasions. AKA that time I tripped and wrote 80,000 words of 00Q.

    All titles unapologetically stolen from Alfred, Lord Tennyson.

    Summary

    “Bond, tell me you have not been operating under the assumption that by pointedly not shooting your megalomaniacal, delusional foster brother you had actually managed to dismantle an entire international criminal organization—an organization, may I remind you, that was influential enough to nearly gain control of the entire security networks of nine countries, had I been a little less brilliant?”

    Or; in which Q is better at James Bond's job than James Bond and everyone knew the retirement wasn't going to stick. (But he's still upset about the fucking car.)

    Summary

    Q leans forward, hands folded on the table in front of him, which appears to be a tell that he's about to be serious. "I think if you only live in the field, you're less likely to remember there's a reason to live when you're out of it."

    Summary

    James Bond comes into Q Branch after a mission with all of his equipment accounted for and in tact, and a complete mission report in Q's inbox. Q is pleasantly surprised and more than a little suspicious. Rightly so, as it happens, because Bond makes an unusual request of him. And yet, his license to kill is not the only thing that makes the man difficult to say no to...

    Summary

    “Am I sacked?”

    M doesn’t bother answering James’ attempt at humor but instead continues in his point. “Since your return from the Skyfall operation, which was over a year ago I might add, you have not taken one day of leave, no holiday of which I'm aware. You haven’t rested the requisite 48 hour period between mission and report.”

    James takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly.

    “You are not a young man,” M says plainly. “Everyone, even James Bond, needs time to let wounds heal, both physical and mental. Pushing yourself is going to get you or someone else killed eventually.”

    “So not another mission then?” James asks and moves to stand.

    **

    Or, James Bond is forced to take a few days off, runs into Q at a kebab shop, starts playing World of Warcraft, and takes a trip to Witney to meet Q's family (for reasons of national security, of course).

    Summary

    Bond and Q agreed: their relationship was nothing more than physical. Until it suddenly isn't.

    (Or alternatively: The one in which Q gets sick, Bond takes care of him, and the truth comes out.)

    Summary

    Part I: Twenty-one days after the Double-oh programme is reinstated, James Bond returns to MI6 with his Aston Martin and without Dr Swann. This is only the beginning of Q's problems.
    COMPLETE.

    Part II: The merger of MI6 and MI5 is complete and everyone around M seems to be losing their minds. (M-centric piece for merlenhiver.)
    COMPLETE.

    Part III: Prompt fill for the 00Q Prompt Party, minion-centric.
    COMPLETE.

    Part IV: The Great Interdepartmental Prank War of 2016®. Because Q insists on a Q-centric piece and mayhem follows James wherever he goes. Also, we all want Farid and Hayden to have more screen time, don't we?
