New Year Party 1998 (MI6 Office Style)

So Cool Britannia, Tiago even arranged for the 1st Battalion Scots Guard to play Auld Lang Syne to welcome in the New Year. And the Queen joined in (she does most years in the UK).

And James was very happy and drunk.

Tiago Christmas headcanons. Christmas in the office, Christmas as a kiddo, Christmas. Christmas Tiago headcanons. (Please:)

You asked so nicely anon… here, have a selection:

1. Before meeting M as a teenager, Tiago didn’t get the chance to enjoy Christmas as such. The Catholic orphanage where he was left as a baby didn’t celebrate it as a family event, there were lots of religious events to attend, but the children didn’t get any presents. When he ran away and went to live with ‘Grandmother’ on her Island he was given a red neck tie one year on the day itself (not realising that this was the Matriarch’s way of singling out the child to run against the Bulls in the New Year). Arriving in England as an immigrant, he was exploited for child labor and obviously didn’t get to celebrate at all over the festive period. So it wasn’t until he was 14 years old that he got his first proper Christmas - the year M adopted him into her family.

2. Christmas growing up in the M household was a lot of fun. Teenage Tiago at 14, 15… even 16 was a giddy child, swooping over the presents and solving all the puzzle gifts before his sister Natalie got a look in. He would also help his younger brother Richard put together his Lego sets, and race the remote-controlled cars around the Scalextric track with him. M’s husband may have been a bit grumbly at the adopted child taking over at times, but that didn’t discourage Tiago. At the age of 17 onwards, Tiago had started to ride his motorbike with his Biker Squad, earning a mini fortune in winnings on the races they entered throughout the year. He used this money to buy his adopted family ever more lavish and expensive gifts during Christmas. It was buying M’s husband a gold-plated tobacco pipe one year that finally got him to stop grumbling about him.

3. When Tiago left home and went to work for his Mum, Christmas at MI6 became a different thing altogether. He wasn’t allowed to visit the house anymore on Christmas Day itself (too many questions at work would have been raised) but he sneaked in anyway during the Sundays leading up to it for a more hearty Sunday Roast dinners with his adopted family. The parties at MI6 itself usually were more crazy than the New Years parties (which is saying something). Mistletoe. Mistletoe. Mistletoe. If Tiago hasn’t kissed the majority of his male and female co-workers at some point during the evening, well. It’s not been a proper Xmas party. Matthew (Tiago’s PA) would of course be getting more acquainted with the doubleoh’s desk around this time of year too.

4. There is… an AU I have with a Bond writer (whenskyfalls) which runs parallel with the entirety of Tiago/Silva’s timeline which should probably feature a Christmas episode during the time both of them were agents at MI6 at some point. More headcanons to be added on that one later.

5. The China Bulldog. When Tiago finished his training as a field agent and M made a double-oh out of her boy, he bought her the odd gift as an early Christmas present. It had something to do with the mission she sent him on - and his first kill. I think the mission itself had been quite risky, and M had been concerned for him (although she masked it well, as per her job demanded). The Bulldog was Tiago’s joke on her. Symbolic in that she portrayed this gruff, no-nonsense Brit, with a craggy exterior(!!) although they both knew this is all for show. (Anyone who’s ever met a real bulldog know they are the most gentle and adorably affectionate dogs).

Office Party (MI6 Style) - The After Party: 00Tiago + Savannah-Jade

Something is off with James. Tiago doesn’t need to be as intuitive as he is to feel it. The Spaniard sighs heavily as the Englishman pulls away from his embrace, head slumped forward, fighting to stop himself from groaning under the sheer volume of alcohol he’s consumed throughout the New Year’s Party.

“James? Do you need some fresh air? Come on, I’ll help you...”

Rubbing the small of his back, the double-oh hooks his arm more securely under his partner and co-host’s back, leading him out of the dining hall, littered with the remains of bottles, party banners and hangers-on still dreamily drifting around to the music the DJ is now playing on autopilot.

Tiago hums, glancing up at said DJ as they near the exit behind the stage at the front of the hall. Twenty more minutes, he mouths. Then the cleaners would arrive. The DJ could stop spinning his trashy pop records. And everyone could go home. They’ve had their fun and their booze. Now the year 1999 can get underway-

James seems to struggle a little bit next to him as Tiago helps carry him out into the parking area round the rear of the MI6 building at Vauxhall. A few posh Jaguars and BMWs sit beside a rather neat arrangement of older, American style cars. Some of the guests to the Party had a weakness for the vintage motors, it seemed.

Not too far from them behind a low lying wall, a very classy Lamborghini is sitting parked beside the meter. A very small wisp of fumes trickles out of a crack in the top window.

“James?”

The Spaniard casts a worried gaze over his partner. Is he going to be sick? There are a few evergreen holly shrubs planted in pots nearby several pillars that could possibly hide the guilt.

The cold, crisp chill of a January evening seeps through the heat of suits carrying the warmth of a festive gathering. If Bond needs to be physical to express himself, Tiago understands.

He’ll bring the woman James had wanted earlier to cheer his boyfriend up once he looks more like his old self again.
