Mely’s 007 Fest 2025 Masterpost

Put someone else's words in a Bond character's mouth! Take quotes from your favorite book/movie/show (For community sourced suggestions, see the other tab in the official sheet) and give them to some Bond characters instead!

#007 fest #station nightingale #scavenger hunt #i had to redo it due to a typo #and it’s surprisingly difficult to get the text the same size in the thing i use #also not exactly my favourite movie #just a great bit lol

There has been a sighting…

A wild Bond appears in Tallinn!

What is he up to…? 👀

Q’s Quick Chicken Pie

Now, contrary to a surprisingly popular belief, Q is not nor has he ever been a vegetarian.

He’s consired it a time or two, mostly out of wanting to do his bit for the environment, but he likes fish and chicken too much to ever see himself fully committing to it. He has cut back on his consumption of red meat, though, and he does like several vegetarian dishes so he tries to eat those more often.

When he’s busy and wants something quick but filling to eat (and that it leaves him leftovers for lunch the next day), Q likes to make this easy chicken pie. It’s also good for offering to friends during get-togethers.

Ingredients for the pastry:

100 grams butter

3 decilitres wheat flour

cold water

a pinch of salt

For the filling:

300 grams of chicken filetts (cut into chunks)

1 spring onion

about half a can of sweet corn (160-180 grams)

half a packet of crumbled blue cheese (75-90 grams)

1 can of crème fraîche (about 200 grams)

2 eggs

salt

black pepper

Rub the room temperature butter into the flour with the salt. Add cold water only enough to make a ball out of the dough. Then press it onto the lightly greased bottom of a round pie tin. Pre-bake in the oven for about 10 minutes in 200C.

For the filling, cut the chicken fillets into chunks and cook them. Add the cut up spring onion and sauté them for a few minutes. Spread the chicken, spring onion and sweet corn on top of the pre-baked dough. Add lots of crumbled blue cheese. In a separate bowl, stir the eggs with crème fraîche and the spices, then pour it over the filling.

Bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes in 200C.

Scavenger hunt #48

Generate a list of ten words using a random word generator and then have a Bond character of your choice play the word association game with that list.

“Well then, Quartermaster, I’m sure you know what’s next,” the psychiatrist said, looking at Q over his glasses. “I say a word, and you’ll say the first word that comes to mind.”

Inwardly, Q sighed. “Yes, I have done this before.” And watched Bond go through it, though that part he left unsaid.

“Then let’s get started, shall we?” The psychiatrist cleared his throat. “Seat?”

“Chair.”

“Season?”

“Summer.”

“Pool?”

“Blue.”

“Available?”

“Taken.”

“Resource?”

“Agent.”

“Preach?”

“Choir.”

“Gun?”

“Walther.”

“File?”

“Redacted.”

“View?”

“Sunset.”

“Throw?”

“Gun.”

The psychiatrist hmm-ed and wrote something on his notes. Q couldn’t see what, but he had a feeling it could’ve gone either way.

“All right. That was all, Quartermaster,” he told Q. “You’re free to go now. Do send Mr Tanner in next, though.”

Q got up and left the room, already resolved to hacking the camera feeds. (And Medical’s records, but that was a given.)

Headcanon: Q is for quiet

Q in bed is passionate but largely quiet.

That isn’t to say that he’s completely soundless, no, but he’s not in any danger of getting a concerned neighbour to knock on his door in the middle of it, asking if he’s all right.

(A funny story: Q’s cats are very vocal, and very loud. They have Opinions about Things, and they’re not afraid to share them. Q usually doesn’t mind it; likes it, even, although sometimes it’s a little hard to hear the telly if the cats desire his instant attention. However, when it’s the middle of the night and Q has only recently fallen asleep, he’s less than happy about waking up to screaming cats and not one but two concerned neighbours knocking on the door. Especially when it turns out the cats just saw Bond climbing in through the balcony, and he’d had the audacity to forget to bring them treats.)

So Q’s always been more quiet. There’s no real reason for it or anything, that’s just the way he is.

Bond’s way of handling it is to take it as a challenge. He does his very best to give Q oodles of pleasure, and is immensely proud whenever he manages to coax more sounds out of Q.

He also makes it very clear to Q that whether he’s loud or quiet is insignificant. As long as they both enjoy what they do together, that’s all that matters.

Show us your pet working for MI6 or helping with your Station adventures

Here’s Nana, very alert and ready to spot anyone just playing around and not working. Q might be a chill boss, but Nana? Not so much. 😼

Headcanon: Q’s cats are rescues

Q loves cats, everyone knows that by now.

But not everyone knows that his cats, although they look like they’ve been bought from a breeder with more money that one cares to admit, are instead adopted from a rescue. They’re a bonded pair and it was love at first sight when Q came to see them at the rescue.

Q adopted the cats three years before he was made Quartermaster, so he’s had enough time with them to make sure they’ll manage even when his days at Six get progressively longer and longer. Of course, it helps that there’s two of them so they can keep each other company.

A lot of people in Six are also more than eager to offer assistance should Q need any for any reason, for example needing to go into the field to help a double-oh with their mission. Bond in particular is known to take advantage of that fact, much to Q’s consternation.

Nothing is better than coming home to a pair of purring kitties, so Q is reluctant to leave for longer periods of time. However, he does it if it’s for Bond. Sure, he might grumble and complain about it to Eve and Tanner, but he does it. After all, he is Bond’s Quartermaster.

And the cats both adore Bond, so at least there’s that.

Scavenger hunt #60

Look into the future! Pick a Bond character and come up with your headcanon(s) for what they do with their life after the movie canon. (Feel free to handwave how they may have faked their own death, if the movie did not go well for them personally.)

Felix Leiter did not die in NTTD.

No, when Bond left the ship, a CIA submarine came to secretly extract him and took him straight to the States to rest and recuperate.

Felix was biding his time and remained in hiding, keeping tabs on Bond and MI6, and when he heard about Bond making his way to Safin’s island, he decided to follow him because he had a feeling that Bond might need some assistance. Felix was right, too, and when he realised that Bond was about to sacrifice himself, the crazy sod, he got in there with a couple of other agents and whisked Bond off to safety just in time.

Bond tried to say something about the nanobots, but pfft. Felix told him that Safin wasn’t stupid enough to kill the woman he thought of belonging to him, at least not by such a permanent means. Clearly that was just a lie to make her obey him.

But seeing as Bond, as a double-oh, had made plenty of other enemies, this was a great opportunity to leave Madeleine and Mathilde to live their lives in peace and for Bond to either get back to his life in MI6 or finally properly retire. Of course, he’d always have a place in CIA with Felix, too, if he wished.

Felix gave Bond his life back, and several options of what to do with it besides. The final decision was Bond’s to make. Felix at least was going to go right back to missions and excitement, thanks.

Headcanon: Q doesn’t swear

Q is known around Six for never swearing.

Well, not aloud he doesn’t, at least. He’s trained himself carefully for using only mild language and, when needed, the most imaginative insults that have the benefit of not sounding like insults at all.

Q’s minions have never minded his non-swearing. Instead, it has made his brach the most sought after place of work in Six, despite the stressful situations the field agents regularly put them through.

The agents, however, find Q’s non-swearing a fascinating quirk. They’re currently engaged in a friendly competition called ‘Who will make Q swear the most’ and so far, Bond is winning.

Bond is using his signature moves of flirting with Q on and off the comms, not listening to instructions, and more often than not, losing his equipment. (It’s a wonder that the others haven’t yet cottoned on to that, but Q can only count himself lucky that it isn’t so.)

After all, nothing beats hearing Q take a deep breath and exclaim, “Fudge!” into the comms, at least if you ask the agents.

#007 fest #station nightingale #headcanons

Headcanon: Q Branch betting pools

Q Branch is known all through Six—and Five—as the place to be if one fancies a spot of friendly wagering. Anything you want to bet on, you can bet (no pun intended) that there are several people ready and willing to engage in it, if it so happens that a suitable bet hasn’t already been established.

Their betting pools are the most well thought out, the best researched, and the most widely spread.

They’re also an open secret among the administrative division. It isn’t out of the realm of possibility that even M herself (and now Mallory) places a cheeky bet for this or that agent failing to bring back their equipment, or any similar matter.

The techies are feeling confident on one thing, however, and that is Q being unaware of the proceedings. They have hidden all evidence with the most careful and genius way they could think of, after all.

(Q has a chuckle about it with Eve and Tanner, but he lets them keep their delusions. After all, that’s just good management.)
