a pox on all your machines [James Bond/Q; Teen]
a pox on all your machines by scioscribe
“You’re an expert at the challenging, though. I have handled—personally, mind you—three double-O agents, and not one of them has been the exasperation that you so continuously prove. You don’t think. Someone who doesn’t think doesn’t deserve hot water.”
Or, the one where Q controls the universe with technology and Bond is trying to avoid complications (like falling for the voice in his head).
When Q is flirting with Bond, everything technological around him is pleased: doors open, traffic lights are green, etc. Conversely, when Q's pissed at Bond, his flat's power flickers, his alarm clock resets, and there's no such thing as good plumbing. Meanwhile, Bond's realizing he's starting to fall for Q, which can get complicated real fast; office romances aren't encouraged at MI6 for a reason. I like that we get to see this fall from Bond's perspective instead of Q's - you get insight into his feelings and reactions that are only implied in the movies. Nice change of pace!
