1. questions & quarrels by Mlle_Heloise
When Madeleine returns with Bond to the Pevsner Hotel to find room 12 empty, she starts to see a different side of him. She isn’t sure at first what she has walked into, but after a series of questions and quarrels, Madeleine starts to see everything for what it is.
ok but madeleine actually being a good character in fics is so refreshing?? and her using her psychiatrist knowledge to get them back together is mwah

“Oberhauser is still alive,” Q explained, tapping at the keys. “The ring proves it. And it seems they were all part of one organization. Le Chiffre, Quantum, Sciarra, and your friend Mr. Silva.”
Bond’s mouth quirked. “My friend?”
“He certainly isn’t mine,” Q replied. “There was trace DNA from all of them on the ring. And do you know who links them all?” He looked up before Bond could reply and met the other man’s gaze over his shoulder, mouth curling just a little as he prodded, “Go on, give us a guess.”
“Him,” Bond rumbled ominously, voice low and black. Near to Q as he was it would only take a shift of weight from one foot to the other to bring their mouths together.
Madeleine felt herself flush faintly at the realization, but didn’t look away. How very interesting.
madeleine third wheeling 00q is such a vibe ngl
3. Second Rate by SailorChibi (@tsuki-chibi)
When the door opens again, three more people spill into the room. For her benefit, James identifies them as Moneypenny, Tanner and Q. Her attention is arrested by him, this quartermaster, this boy. She watches the way Q watches James and, for the first time, actually goes past understanding and gets it.
Then Bond laughs at something M says and cockily adds, "He can do it. Our Q has a lot of talent." And his eyes kind of get a little more of that sparkle, and it takes everything she has not to start crying on the spot. Every fragmented thought of what life might have been like from now on goes up in smoke.
ok ill admit that only the first part is madeleine pov, but i couldn’t resist another bond-doesn’t-walk-away fic + good on madeleine for having a backbone
