one thing I rly like, which like a handful of fics *do* have, but which I can also never get enough of, lol
is, like. when Bond goes thru a Harrowing Situation/Bad Mission/whatever whatever. and comes back and like, doesn't seem quite all there/in the most stable of mental states.
and Q cottons onto this/it makes his like lizard brain prickle/the hairs on his neck stand up
and he has to, like. cautiously figure out how to approach Bond. to feel out where he's at, currently, without setting him off. and it very has the vibe of, like,.. you suddenly find yourself next to a mountain lion or tiger or jaguar sth. and they are Watching You. and all of your instincts are screaming but you also have to keep it cool etcetc, that kind of vibe.
and it's like... maaybe Q can help Bond w whatever hes going through/bring him back more to ground. But also he has to make sure hes not gonna get fuckin... metaphorically bit first. Cuz the sitch is so. imminent and precarious
