Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!! We always love fanart here! Thank you so much for this wonderful gift! -Admin Hirahara

Title: Soul Mates?
Author: @themuller13
Rating: general
Warnings: none
Summary: Q is puzzled.
“Soul mates? Q! What did you tell him?”
“Honestly, Danny, what would you expect me to say? Of all people, for Alex to even think about this utterly ridiculous senti- What?”
“I know he doesn’t believe in soul mates! But what did you say? Why were you even –“
“Danny! Calm down! We were just decoding a programme. Nothing special, just a simple lie-detector progra- Danny! What is wrong with you?”
“What did Alex say?”
“Nothing much. In fact, he was really quiet once we’d finished with it. Out of the blue he asked me about soul mates. Whether I believed in – Danny! Why are you crying? Please, you’re freaking me out here. What is wrong with you?”
“And you just told him – wait! You said: What are the odds this person would be in the same country? Or the same city? That their paths would even cross? It would mean almost everyone in the world is with the wrong person. If it’s a way of saying, “we’re good together” why not just say – “we’re good together”? Right? Stop gaping, Q!”
“How? That’s exactly, what – but I would’ve thought –“
“Yes, Q! Of course. I do believe in soul mates! What were the odds of me finding Alex after MI5 had taken him? The odds, for the four of us finding each other? Being perfect for each other?! Fuck.”
“I don’t understand, Danny.”
“He was asking you, whether you, whether we, really do love him.”

Summary: Living with spies means living with lovers who always imagine the worst-case scenario.
“It’s hardly that important. Honestly, you always worry so much. No, don’t send James! No, not Alex either! You very well know you can’t just come off work! I promise, it’s only a cut and I’m nearly to hospital anyway.”
“You’ll have to forgive my penchant for overreaction. It’s just that every time James says ‘It’s not that bad’ he means that he’s half severed a limb or taken a bullet somewhere normal human beings considered vital.”
“Don’t get sour like that, I’m not angry with you. Just a moment, here’s my stop–”
“Danny?”
“Here. Anyhow, I’m not saying you’re being silly, I know your jobs are…strenuous. But honestly, it’s only a cut–”
“You texted ‘on way to hospital’ when I asked how you were. I do think it warranted at least a telephone call.”
“I’m sorry, really I am. I ought to have thought…. I promise, I’m fine. I didn’t mean to worry you. It’s probably only a few stitches.”
“We’ll see about that when I get home.”
“Q.”
“It’s my place to worry.”
“Not over me. Never over me.”
“Don’t be ridiculous. Have you got there yet? Tell the doctor that if he hurts you, there are highly placed government officials willing to take drastic measures.”
“I’m not telling him that.”
“Only a joke.”
“It wasn’t!”
“Don’t be smug, Daniel, I can hear you smiling.”
“I love you, too.”
“Do shut up.”

Warnings: None
Summary: Q gets some bad news
“Hi…I’m sorry sweetheart.”
“Where is he?”
“Stuck in Alaska… he…. the phone signal broke up. James said he won’t be home for my birthday.”
“Q … oh hey, don’t please. It’s OK. Come here, it’s OK. You did all you could. Alex told me you were trying to get him home from the field but it isn’t the first time is it? These things happen. It’s OK.”
“I know but… it’s just so damn hard sometimes. Loving him and not getting to have him here for the special things.”
“You still have me and Alex.”
“I know and I appreciate it, I really do but… where is Alex anyway?”
“Getting a Chinese. He’s getting you that stringy stuff you like.
“It’s called Crispy Beef Dan.”
“Yuck. Gross.”
“You look cute when you wrinkle your nose like that.”
“Bleargh.”
“Hehe. I love you baby I just wish… is that the door?”
“Hullo? Hello chaps, look who I found lurking outside.”
“JAMES! You absolute prick! You said you were stuck in Alaska!”
“Oof! Thanks for the warm welcome darling… probably could have done with the tackle-hug after I’d taken my coat off.”
“What… how are you here?”
“I tried to tell you on the phone. I wouldn’t be able to fly via Homer – I was too late to catch that flight…”
“I thought you said you wouldn’t be able to fly home…”
“Well I’m here now and I fully intend to make it up to you… all weekend…”
“I can’t wait.”

Summary: too many cooks, well wannabe-bakers
“You said 30 minutes”
“That’s not what I meant… 30 minutes in total, 13 minutes in the oven”
“B-but Q…”
“Shh… It’s okay Alex, don’t worry. We can just pop to the shop and buy some. And Q can clean up in that time”
“I’m sorry”
“We just wanted to do something nice for Danny, he’s doing so well at uni and deserves a break and a treat after a long day of exams”
“I know. Let’s go to the fancy bakery around the corner, Danny always presses his nose to the window when we walk past it to look at all the sweet treats”
“You two better hurry then, he’ll be home soon”
“Oh, I hear the door…”
“Anyone hom-… hey kitties, of course I got you two a treat as well. What’s going on? What’s that smell?”
“Nothing to worry about Danny. Congrats on finishing your exams though!”
“Thank you, it went quite well I think”
“Of course it did, you’re brilliant!”
“You are, Q is right”
“You all have to stop with the flattery now, please, I’m blushing already”
“Which we all don’t mind because you’re cute and you deserve it”
“Then let’s celebrate, I brought cake and dinner is ordered and on its way”
“Wait, what?”
“That was our job”
“You three are always so busy, so I thought I’d just organise something quickly. No worries, really”
“But we wanted to treat you”
“Well, there’s still time after dinner…”

"I—I don’t understand.”
“Q…”
“Why didn’t he listen to me? I said turn around, but he didn’t do that, he—”
“Q, it’s okay. It’ll be—”
“And why the hell would you just ignore me like that? I—he always listens to me, but he didn’t, he bloody well didn’t this time. When someone says, ‘Turn around,’ you bloody well do as you’re told!”
“Q.”
“What?”
“When I lost Alex…”
“Oh god, Danny, I’m sorry, I—”
“When I lost Alex, I thought it was a dream. It wasn’t real. He’d come back after a couple of months, a year. We’d have some storybook ending. ”
“Danny, you don’t have to tell me, it’s okay.”
“I found the video of him. Someone sent it to me, or left it, I don’t know. But I found it. His last words were—Sorry, I. God. His last words were my name. He died calling my name.”
“Danny…”
“At least James went fast. You know? He didn’t even have time to think about it. And that’s the best way to go. Suffocating in a bloody trunk like Alex did…”
“I’m sorry, Danny.”
“I’m sorry, too. But you can’t fix it. Okay? I learned that. It’s no use trying to think about what you could’ve done. He’s gone.”
“He’s gone.”
“Yeah.”
“And what the hell am I supposed to do now?”
“Honestly? Mourn him. And move on. Don’t go chasing ghosts like I did, Q. It’s not worth it.”
