00q fic recs: bond’s souvenirs

1. Heartkiller by Celyan               

 There were days — rare as they were — when Q was busy but not dreadfully so, when he was able to include a prototype in need of field testing into an agent’s kit and expect to have it returned in good condition after the mission ended, and when he didn’t need to despair over what went on the comms and how to explain those conversations to M, or even worse, Eve.

 This was not such a day.

you gotta love the tried and true method of asking out via mission souvenirs

2. Sugar by withered (@everything-withered)

Contrary to popular rumour, it doesn't start with the kitschey souvenirs snatched from various locales around the world.

It starts because Q rolls his eyes, and drawls, "Am I to your satisfaction then, Mr Bond?"

And that's it. That's how it starts.

3. That's Not Tea! by SammyWrites               

Prompt from @christinefromsherwood on tumblr: 00Q, both smitten, Bond brings Q an especially mixed blend of herbal tea as a souvenir from a mission, Q loves the present! it smells divine! he could kiss this beautiful thoughtful agent! only problem: once brewed, that stuff is VILE! and Bond keeps fishing for compliments, asking him if he likes it!

This was such fun to write!

00q fic recs: Getting Together

hello im back with another fic rec post.

1. to do it right by teatrolley

“Is that all you’re going to say?” Bond asks. Q purses his lips, as if in thought. “They warned me about you,” he says. “What you might do. “Murder?” Bond asks. “Seduction.” “Ah.” Bond leans against the desk, supporting himself with one hand, in a manner that usually lets people know what his intentions are. Q looks him up and down and raises his brows. “Exhibit A,” Q says, and looks pointedly at Bond’s hips. “You can’t say it isn’t working,” Bond says. “No. I can’t.”

_________________

Love, in all of it's previous forms, has always screwed Bond over. So when he first kisses Q it's to get away from it, not to fall into it. Bond is, however, not known for his great emotional foresight.

ahhhh i love this fic so much. it has badass!q and confident!q and i love it so much

2. Tactical Silence by Kayzo

Spies are good at keeping secrets, obviously. But normally they don’t tell the person their keeping it from to their face that they’re keeping it... Q hates Bond sometimes.

~~~

sneaky!bond is another favourite of mine and this fic does it so well. it also has a very cute exasperated!q, hehe.

3. No One Thrills Me (Like You Do) by RayShippouUchiha

“Nonsense,” Moneypenny waved a dismissive hand in his direction, “I’ve already got it arranged. Friday, one o’clock. I’ve put it into your schedule and, hopefully, it’ll be a nice, casual lunch date with the possibility of dinner later. I’ll send a car around because I won’t have you late or lost on the Tube.  Again.”

Q thought of protesting, reminded himself of just who he was talking to, and quickly deflated.

“Fine,” he finally grumbled. “But when it ends in disaster I’m free for the rest of the weekend. No meddling allowed for at least a week.”

“Deal.” Moneypenny thankfully agreed.

jealous!bond jealous!bond jealous!bond. i love jealous!bond. 

(honestly, while we’re on this topic, i love jealous!blondes in ships, like jealous!arthur, or jealous!john, or jealous!dean. there’s just something about this trope that hits right.)

00q fic recs: q’s name

1. By Any Other Name by beaubete

From the 00Quties Kink Meme - Bond isn't used to not knowing the names of the agents around him, either told to him in confidence or found out through some hacking into M's computer from time to time. So when he and Q have been working together for awhile and yet he still only knows him as Q it starts to mess with Bond. Id love to see Bond doing everything to figure it out to the point where it gets ridiculous and Q is trying so hard not to laugh. Bonus points if Q tells Bond at some point but Bond doesn't realize it!

~~~

i love this fic so much. it’s so cute and the ending is delightful.

2. million dollar question by skylights (@frijae)

Q doesn’t bend for anything and Q certainly doesn’t break for anyone, especially when it comes to stubborn double-ohs intent on making Q’s life hell, so when Q wakes up on a Saturday morning to 12 new texts from Bond and the incessant ringing of his flat’s doorbell, Q makes sure to bring a gun to answer the door.

“Delivery for one…Quabik Quadree?”

Q feels the weight of the Glock 19 in the pocket of his dressing gown and sincerely wonders whether to shoot the delivery man or himself.

(or, that fic where everyone wants to know Q's name and stupid things happen in the process)

~~~

this fic had me laughing in public like a loon. the humor is just fantastic.

3. Qupid and Psych by Anyawen

Bond's doubt sabotages the thing growing between him and his Quartermaster. He endeavors to fix it.

~~~

this is another good fic that i rather like. im quite fond of classics, so this fic was a bit of a treat for me, and i loved how the myth of eros and psyche was woven into a modern mi6 setting.
