(Take my heart) and please don’t break it (pt. 1 and 2)
Summary: In a world where alphas and omegas are equals and the base instinct is to provide instead of claim, James has decided Alec is the omega for him and has been buying increasingly outlandish gifts with Alec’s comfort and hobbies in mind. But as far as Alec is concerned, nothing’s changed; they share everything don’t they? Work in progress

AU headcanon 1/2
For @mi6-cafe “Blast from the Past” January
I made these up on the fly based on details sprinkled through the complication of memory
AU Headcanon 1: Alec Trevelyan and largely-canon-compliant Craig!Bond
Officially, they met at SBS, but in reality, they first met as landmen on leave. They barely remember that night. The important bits were that they were tossed out of a strip club for starting a fight with the manager. They’d lost their wallets, their women, and so they’d taken one look at each other and thought, Why not?
The next time they meet, it’s the first day of training at SBS. Bond was a cocky rooster and Trevelyan was a smooth-talking trouble magnet and they got each other punished within a week. After that, it was less of a headache to partner the two together because if they’re not competing, they’re making someone else’s life miserable. And that’s a valuable asset.
They’re young and brash and malleable. They learn to fight as a team, to anticipate each other on the field. The standard hand signals morph into a unique sign language between them.
Their after action reviews are a blessing and a curse. They’re an efficient combination. But also a disaster on four legs, a pencil-pusher’s worst nightmare.
They never really talk about it, but when they’re on leave, they gravitate towards each other. Being an operative is stressful enough without worrying about safety. First, it’s they sleep better in proximity. Then it’s they share everything. They’re the same height; may as well split a casual wardrobe and a flat they’ll rarely use.
They transfer into MI6 together and for the first time, they take solo missions. They adapt by making each other next of kin.
They still don’t talk about it. They still share everything. Trevelyan burns anything except Chinese. Bond isn’t allowed to drive their third car.
They’re promoted to 00-status in late 2003. They get one night to celebrate before Bond is sent to South America. Trevelyan’s first mission is to infiltrate a base in Iraq. He doesn’t come back. M declares him KIA.
Bond keeps going. His transition into 007 is flawless. There isn’t a dip in his success record. But he now leaves flowers on multiple graves. Ones at Skyfall manor. And ones in Austria, where Alec last saw his parents. And less than two years later, he barrels headlong into the Vesper affair. Vesper, mysterious and contrary, the embodiment of everything his life was not. With her, he can imagine being free.
We all know how that ends.
It'll be another eight years before he discovers Trevelyan isn't dead.
next up: AU Bond and AU Trevelyan
December fic roundup
I wrote some 00Q, wanted to get better at writing 00q00 and then I fell into an Alec-shaped hole without meaning to and I’ve been sorting these AUs out and they grew so much that I guess I’m writing Variations of Alec Trevelyan for a few months. (These are my biggest efforts yet, so someone help me I’m not equipped for this lol.)
MI6 Cafe Prompt Fills:
the food fairy fiasco - Q-branch has a mysterious benefactor that leaves baked goods without a trace. Bond gets jealous. 00Q
Pull of you | holiday, interrupted - (Q-centric urban fantasy AU) Q's yacht explodes while on holiday in the Celtic Sea. In the subsequent weeks, while the police investigate the cause of the bombing, he searches for his mysterious savior. Thanks to @darkjediqueen for the alpha read and @angel-n-darkness for providing me with a logical perpetrator. (Updated weekly)
A very good team II - Spies doing spy stuff (Background 00Q00)
Explicit sex:
Four, two, six, twelve - (Warning A/B/O dynamics; consensual sex) Futurefic set after Attention. Bond is drugged and abducted mid-mission. He wakes up to find the quartermaster incapacitated and R urging him back to London. OOQ
——
Variations of Alec Trevelyan
Pretender!Alec, inspired by The Pretender (ultimately civilian!James/Alec, worldbuilding stage):
ficlet 1, age 6 | ficlet 2, age 20-23 | ficlet 3, age 15 |
In an alternate universe, double-O agent Olivia Mansfield, 38, returns to MI6 with six-year-old Alec Trevelyan after betraying his parents to the Russian troika. MI6 realizes Alec is a Pretender, a genius with the ability ‘to become anyone he wants to be’, and spends the next twelve years training him to be the perfect undercover agent. (This one is wikipedia’s fault for implying MI6 looked after Alec after his father committed murder-suicide. Poor wording got the creative juices flowing.)
Legends!Alec, spoiler-filled crossover between TNT:Legends S1 and Craig!Bond movies (past James/Alec, current multiple pairings, plotted and rough draft in progress):
WIP Wednesday snippets can be found under this tag: legends!alec
The year is 2014 and Martin Odum is on the run. In London, Q and James discover everyone in MI6 has been lied to for over a decade. Alec Trevelyan, going by the name Martin, is alive and well, if a little shell-shocked by recent events. Together, the three men must deal with the ramifications of Martin’s situation and uncover who is willing to kill to ensure Martin never remembers his past.
November fic roundup
Okay so, hey! Intermittent fic writer emerging under the power of Daniel Craig’s blue eyes and the fun of breaking down the 00Q and 00Q00 dynamics. This month, I started off with character exploration and getting voices down. I posted 9 pieces in total:
Character study
a lucky hit - Craig!Bond study. Prompt: If you were to die this evening with no opportunity to communicate with anyone, what would you most regret not having told someone? Why haven’t you told them yet?
episodic revisionism - study of James (and working on Alec). Prompt: Everyone knows James Bond is never sick (no one knows that’s because 007 is a calculated mask and illness means his defenses are down, means there’s only James)
Attention - (A/B/O verse, rated G) inverting expectations. Prompt: You look beautiful. More than usual, I mean.
Character voice study
Long drives - Post-Spectre canon compliant short
a very good team - Inverting expectations. Prompt: Oh, you clever boy.
three rules - Baby’s first drabble. Q voice. 100 words. Rated Mature/Explicit.
distraction - Q and Alec voice. Q inserts himself into the comms when a minion can’t keep up with 006.
Fluff:
sooner or later, I’m greater than you - Picture prompt. Q goes to see an ex. James goes to "protect" him.
Explicit sex:
Lick the wind - The Norton Dominator SS seen in Spectre is finished. Q and James take it for a ride.
- @espritneo
tcom, an update: 9/15 and 10/15
Chapter 9 - Q's agents
"Something's different about you two." He directed the question at Martin. "Did you recover a memory?"
James shifted, uncharacteristically uncertain. "We've come to an understanding."
Chapter 10 - Dominik Murphy, 006
James firmed his lip and didn't reply. "You're the best tracker in the agency," was all he let himself say. "You'll do as we're in a hurry."
Murphy sighed, probably hoping to get a reaction out of him. "Alright, alright. Who's your friend?" The full force of his blue eyes fixed on Martin and James fought the urge to step between them. "Name's Dominik Murphy. Pleased to meet you." Murphy extended a hand.
"Martin."
Chapters 7 and 8 are up!

update: the complication of memory (6/15)
Chapter 6:
Damn sensible Q. Getting sloshed had gotten him through the first night and that was before Martin started channeling Alec at random moments. Like the hand signal in Paris, when Martin used their modified gesture language to request his pack. Then there was the ambush in the alley. And that split second at the flat when Martin hesitated until James vouched for Q’s skills.
The last one wasn’t the same kick in the teeth, but that had definitely been Alec’s skeptical eyebrow.
His stomach twisted and he threw the stub away with a grimace.
Fucking Alec. Lost to amnesia and still haunting him.
Man sorry I feel kind of bad clogging dashes with several new fics, but here’s another one.
Paradise Lost
Goldeneye, James Bond/Alec Trevelyan
Summary: For no one else but himself, James doesn’t let go. Now they’re on an island in the middle of the ocean and time will tell if they’ll fix things or kill each other without trying. Work in progress.
