Without Being Told
The disaster made of Westminster Bridge and dismantling the remnants of Nine Eyes were only the beginning of the mess that needed to be cleaned up after James Bond walked away from everything hand-in-hand with Madeleine Swann. Sooner or later, something was going to break. No one expected it to be The Quartermaster.
This is one of my favourite fics! And this is one of my favourite scenes in my favourite fic! So here, a little gift to @boffin1710 and @dassandre-00qpidsarrow
Light spoilers!
This is absolutely beautiful and brilliant! đđ

When you close your eyes, do you still see mine? Always. Magnets. Sam & Michael in Black Doves
Some of the most intense scenes ever filmed,IMHO.
LOL đ Sooooooo true! But wait til you reach your 50s! đ
007 Fest 2025 Collab Table soapmaking shenanigans
I made five batches of soap yesterday. Woot! Have to split them up over a post + a couple reblogs because of tumblr's limits on the number of photos.
To start, @bluebellofbakerstreet's suggestion for Goldfinger - hickory and suede and Kentucky bourbon, with a bit of colorant added. Because, y'know. Gold.
Next, @hellofapotato wanted a scent for Severine with salt and tobacco and bay leaf and jasmine. A bit more colorant went in than I planned, but it's turned out a nice tobacco-y brown. It will lighten up a bit more as it cures.
@blahblahblahclintnickiscanon asked for lemons for all the women Bond has slept with and left behind and never thought about again. I had eucalyptus lemon and lemongrass scents, and she said that would work. Interestingly, the scent is citrus-y, but the thing it most strongly reminds me of is Thai limes.
@dassandre-00qpidsarrow asked for espresso, brown sugar fig, and Kentucky bourbon for Noah - the Q that appears in her fic 'Hello' (co-authored with @boffin1710 ). I wanted to give it a little color, but didn't want to have a second brown batch ... I aimed for a muddy green for Ben's eyes, but my green colorant is a very springy green. I added a touch of brown and hoped that and the natural yellow of the soap would pull it toward something hazel.
It looked fairly olive-y when I poured it, but it's more ... mossy? ... after a day, and will continue to lighten as it cures.
How very exciting!!!! Thank you for taking my request!

This is brilliant! The best thing is that the truly exceptional women are all three (and then some) at once. đ
This is sooo true!
Gemma Sinclair - Introduction Post
Name:Â Redacted
Alias:Â Gemma (Gem) Sinclair Occupation: Undercover MI6 Operative - Barista; Caffeine Purveyor to the Needy of London
Once a highly skilled MI6 Senior Intelligence Officer who was flirting with becoming a Double-O, Gemma Sinclair lost most of her vision during an accident on a mission stateside. Putting to M the argument that she still had something to offer the service that had already spent so much on developing her skills, Gem suggested she become an âEcho,â one of MI6âs in plain sight spies who are in a position to overhear all manner of conversation, but whose presence is largely ignored: restaurant servers, taxi drivers, hair stylists, baristas, and the like. All fully vetted and trained MI6 intelligence agents, Echoes serve in key locales around the world, even on home soil.
It had taken some time relearning to âseeâ and adapting her espionage skills accordingly, but it was decided that Gem would reopen the coffee cart she had owned prior to being recruited years earlier. It had been insanely popular then; Gemâs skills with her La Marzocco Linea Classic espresso machine had brought people from all over London to her queue-- politicians, embassy mission personnel, and the PAs of top international corporate and banking executives, among them. All of them desperate for that buzz of caffeine; all of them equally lax when it came to keeping their mouths shut on their mobiles as they waited for their flat whites, cappuccinos, and cortados with oat milk and vanilla syrup. That Gemâs baked goods were equally lucious had brought even bigger queues, one that included her eventual recruiter who couldnât get enough of her triple-chocolate fudge brownies and almond croissants.
Age: 33
Special Skills: Nicknamed âThe Coffee Whispererâ by her more devoted customers, she has been called instinctively gifted when it comes to brewing the bean. In her fully sighted days, she was able to âreadâ a new customerâs order in their eyes before they actually voiced it. Now she senses it in their mien and tone as they wait in her queue. Sometimes the coffee drink the customer is given might not be what they ordered but, rather, what they need. No one has ever complained. Well, not after the first sip, at any rate. Â
Gemâs hearing has always been extremely acute, but even more so now, and she is able to keep track of multiple conversations going on around her cart, even as she talks with the customers, and makes their drinks. Her intelligence gathering skills are the highest among the Echoes -- Gem is ever amused at how people seem to think that because she is mostly blind, she must be deaf, too -- and the increasing popularity of her cart has M considering releasing funding for Gem to have the part time help of a junior agent during peak hours. In the last six months alone, Gem has passed along key intelligence that ultimately led to several successful missions in the protection of King and Country.Â
Gem is fluent in several languages -- Russian, Spanish, French, and Portuguese -- and conversational in three others (Mandarin Chinese, Farsi, and Tagalog), not that her customers have any idea she is multilingual. She always chats with them in her native Scots brogue -- Gaelic being her first language even before she learnt English -- which sheâd had to tame down when sheâd become an agent. Â
Best Friend: Gemâs best friend is her yellow Labrador Retriever, Bumble. He helps keep an eye on Gem as sheâs busy keeping an eye out on The Commonwealth. Always at her side, Bumble is a trained service dog with highly protective instincts. Everyone who comes to Gemâs cart knows that Bumble is as goofily loving as his name suggests, but that he is there to assist Gem in whatever she needs. Though technically owned by MI6, as they paid for him and his training, Bumble is the best thing to happen to Gem, and she loves him dearly. Yes, even when he steals her socks or wakes her up in the middle of the night with a sneak attack, slobbery kiss on the mouth. Ugh!
Other Friends: Mac, a cryptographer from Q-Branch is easily her most frequent customer. Though heâs often fetching coffee and brownies for his boss, The Quartermaster, the man never leaves empty handed for himself. She can always tell what kind of day heâs having once she senses him in the queue, and on good days has a hot white chocolate mocha ready for him. Otherwise, she passes him an Ethiopian dark to match his mood, and she always keeps a chocolate cream-filled fairy cake and a cruller in reserve for him.Â
Theyâve struck up a good friendship over the years. He always remembers to bring a treat for Bumble, and because he never knew her when she was sighted -- he didnât start with Six until a year after her accident -- he always chats with her without the undertone of pity that frequently tinges the conversations she has with people she knew âbefore.â Though she never quite knows when heâll appear, Mac always does. Without fail. Heâs just as desperate for his caffeine fix as the rest of Six is, after all. Â
Only once did he not show, and it had worried Gem to the point that she had her Six appointed driver (a story in and of itself) drive her to Q-Branch headquarters (the back entrance, of course) when she packed up for the day. Gem was directed to Medical where she found a doctor stitching up the back of his head.  An overly nervous newbie intern hadnât been paying attention to where he was going, was running through the twisting corridors of the Churchill tunnels to catch up with the rest of the intro tour, and crashed into Mac, sending him into one of the stone walls where he cracked his head, knocking him unconscious. Mac got free coffees and baked goods for a fortnight after that incident; the first week was on the newbie, the second was on Gemma.
Coffee Cartâs Name: Buzz & Bark. The double meaning of âBuzzâ in this case being the buzz of caffeine along with the buzz of intelligence-worthy gossip. The âBarkâ, of course, is for her beloved Bumble.
Lives In: A converted warehouse in Pimlico owned by MI6. While not huge, it provides Gemma with not only a comfortable space for her and Bumble to live in but it houses a small commercial kitchen in which she bakes the goods for her cart. Itâs perfect for the two of them, but Gem admits to getting a tad lonely.
Favourite Food:Â Sheâs a slave for anything in rice paper be it a fresh Vietnamese spring roll or sashimi wraps.
Least Favourite Food: Hobnob biscuits. No. Just ⊠no.
Vices: Audiobooks. She has several thousand in her library and likes to listen to them as she bakes. This can get a bit awkward for her neighbours when she forgets to turn down the volume on the romance titles and the sex scenes get going. Sheâs particularly fond of male LGBTQ+ titles, and they get S T E A M Y!  She also has a penchant for American iced sweet tea, which she always drinks in private. The gasps of horror from others simply too much to contend with. Bumble, of course, doesnât give a shite.
Contends with Boredom:  By reading cookbooks and baking books. Gem can still see a little bit via a pinholeâs worth of vision in her left eye, and is ever so grateful for it. She binge watches British Bake Off and whatever the latest crime show is. Snuggling with Bumble. Heâs bloody brilliant at it.
Deals with Frustration: By going to the shooting range at MI6, and with the Quartermasterâs assistance, blows the absolute shite out of the targets. Q makes sure no one else is on the range, and lets Gem have at it -- safely, of course. Itâs highly therapeutic.
Other Tidbits: Even though she is tasked as an Echo, Gem is still a senior intelligence officer on assignment; therefore, she still gets operational support from MI6. In addition to Bumble and the warehouse, this also means weaponry and gadgets from Q-Branch. All of which have been specially modified for her disability. Whilst it is not safe for her to use a firearm in public, Gem is highly skilled with a knife, and is always armed with one. A panic button has been installed, and cleverly hidden, in her coffee cart should she be attacked, and the sunglasses she wears have been modified by Q-Branch technology, enhancing that pinhole of vision she retained after the accident.
Why Will She Be at JellyfishCon?  Why else? To serve coffee to the caffeine-needy and to gather intelligence. You never know whoâs going to show up. Especially among the mystery writers downstairs. Always shady, that group is.

All In Good Time
A very underdeveloped ship. They say write what you want to read. So here I am, doing just that. I also love the idea that our dreams are really the actions of our other selves across the Multiverse.
âWhy, Peter? Why do you give me this⊠gift?â
âG-gift?â Peter stutters a whisper, his hips stuttering along with the question, chasing the slender handâs glide along the inside of his thigh.
Stephenâs gaze lingered on the smooth skin, his own scarred, tanned fingers starkly contrasted against the pale gleam, a moist sheen gathering on Peterâs stomach, a transaction secured from Stephenâs unrelenting, rapt attention.
âIt is a gift. You are a gift. Being permitted to see you like this. An offering I hardly feel I deserveâŠâ Stephenâs fingers, slick with shared perspiration travelled upwards, ignoring the obvious need in favour of gently grasping Peterâs jaw.
âWhy?â he repeated.
Peter opened his eyes to meet the warm, questioning gaze of the Sorcerer Supreme. âIââ
Stephen leaned closer, until all Peter could see was startling blue, the colour swirling in time with the sensations rippling across his oversensitive skinâŠ
ââWHOA! What the heck was THAT?!â Peter Parker, alone in his bed, in his modest, sparse apartment, jolted wide awake, sitting up in bed so suddenly he nearly fell off the mattress. He flopped back down, pointedly ignoring the hardness beneath his sheets. He rolled to his side, breathing still erratic from the absolute vividness of the dream.
Meanwhile, over in Greenwich, one Sorcerer was also awake. Stirred by his own very vivid dream, a single question occupying his mind in that moment.
âWho in the Multiverse is Peter?â
And you always write brilliantly! đ
Food Fest Day
Banana bread makes more than one appearance in the Alec/Q fic Without Being Told by @dassandre-00qpidsarrowâ and @boffin1710â . It is obviously food for the soul (along with chocolate in all its incarnations). This illustrated recipe inspired by the banana bread on Melody Makes.Â
