    Summary

    “Bond, tell me you have not been operating under the assumption that by pointedly not shooting your megalomaniacal, delusional foster brother you had actually managed to dismantle an entire international criminal organization—an organization, may I remind you, that was influential enough to nearly gain control of the entire security networks of nine countries, had I been a little less brilliant?”

    Or; in which Q is better at James Bond's job than James Bond and everyone knew the retirement wasn't going to stick. (But he's still upset about the fucking car.)

    Summary

    The man moved with the same predatory grace he always had, and if he had aged in the past five years (it was a bit hard to tell from a subpar camera on the other side of the street) then he had aged well. Which was all entirely predictable of course. No, what had thrown Q and everyone else in the ops center who had ever met Bond or read his file was the way that he was dressed - faded blue jeans with holes in the knees, a t-shirt from some unidentifiable but probably local surf shop, and-
    “Are you wearing Converse?” demanded Q before he could think better of it.
    Bond’s eyes unerringly found the camera through which Q was watching, an expression of vague displeasure. “Well, I don’t generally make a habit of wearing suits to fix my boat, and I doubted you had the patience for me to change.” .

    James Bond has been retired for five years. But when a highly sensitive mission goes to hell just a few miles from where he as settled down Q is forced to ask for his help. Bond and Q return easily to their old ways - they are also forced to finally confront their feelings for each other.

    Summary

    Q is slowly getting used to his life being unpredictable now that he works for MI6, but being stuck in a repeating day with James Bond is rather more unpredictable that he expected. Especially since Bond is stupidly attractive and unexpectedly funny and okay, possibly- just possibly- he's managed to develop a slight crush on the man. Where 'slight' is defined as 'epic.'

    Summary

    Nine hundred miles away from where the man who will be Q sits grieving his sister, James Bond hears the story of a young woman who would have done anything to keep her little brother safe, even if it meant betraying the man she loved.

    Even if it meant sacrificing her own life for his.

    ****

    a Q origin story masquerading as another "Vesper is Q's sister" fic.
