    Summary

    Q's smile is too quick, his eye-contact too direct, his fingers always reaching out to touch, regardless to whom he's speaking.

    Bond reevaluates Q's intentions...and lowers his defenses.

    Summary

    Sometimes Bond has to seduce someone for the job. Occasionally he needs help with the details. Q enjoys giving directions. Bond likes taking them, sometimes, from the right person.

    “Does she like long walks at sunset or is she more of a ‘fuck me against a wall’ girl?” Bond breathes quietly into the mic, following the glimpse of crimson silk flitting its way through the dark bar.

    Brought to you by the prompts: voice, voyeurism, phone-sex, glasses. (Also orders, cardigan, smart mouth, technology, gadgets, against the wall, heat, blow-job, sleepy, morning, snark, talking, drowsy, pretend, control, public, snark, wall-sex, and probably quite a few others *coughs*).

    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

    “Do you ever wish you were someone else?” Q asks, and James has never heard him sound so small.

    James’s first instinct is to brush him off with a cocky answer about being Bond, James Bond. Who wouldn’t want to be him?

    Then he sees Q's face.

    --

    an extremely self indulgent au in which everything is the same, but also everything is X-Men (everything is the same, but Q and Bond are mutants).

    Summary

    Bond had... habits. He never minded leaning right up to Q's ear when they talked, had a habit of touching Q's arm or back to lead him through a crowd, and seemed more than happy to share his food when all of the MI6 crew went out to eat and relax. All of these habits do things to Q. Two problems:
    Q is asexual.
    And Bond does this with everyone.
    It isn't until an unexpected event at a bar that things come to a head, and Bond finds out that his Quartermaster has actually been flirting with him for just about forever.
