    Summary

    The answering machine was just there for appearances, and yet the blinking number on it was still there, and for some reason James couldn't ignore it. In his solitary life, James never expected to connect with anyone, not at work and especially not with a civilian who was a complete stranger. But Q might be the connection he really needs, in more ways than one.

    Summary

    Bond and Q agreed: their relationship was nothing more than physical. Until it suddenly isn't.

    (Or alternatively: The one in which Q gets sick, Bond takes care of him, and the truth comes out.)

    Summary

    Bond has lost his memory. Q has lost his love.

    "What have I forgotten?” Bond asked; Q watched him, trying to find the James he knew.

    “Nothing that you won’t work out on your own, if it’s really important,” Q said carefully, before returning every fraction of his attention to the computer in front of him.

    Summary

    (Post Spectre)

    A despondent James returns to England alone and finds MI6 in a dire situation, with the Quartermaster at the centre of it.

    *

    "Remember when I nearly lost my job in my first week because you asked me to make you disappear?” James struggled to hear him through the sounds of the crowd and the muffling of the scarf.

    He tilted the corner of his mouth up, “How could I forget?”

    Q continued, refusing to face James, “And how I lied to M about the smart blood-” James hummed, keeping his eyes forward- “and how I travelled by plane to personally warn you away from chasing Spectre, only for you to ask me for ‘a final favour’, which nearly got me kidnapped in a ski lift?” James did remember. He remembered hearing from Moneypenny how Q nearly got shot, too. She hadn’t been very happy about that.

    “Are you finally cashing in?” he asked, the ball dropping. The theatrics were entirely unnecessary, though.

    Q dipped into an alley, and James followed behind him, boxing Q away from the crowd.

    “Can I trust you?” Q asked, instead of answering the question. “Can I trust you, like when you asked me to trust you, and I did, undoubtedly?”

    Q considers himself excessively lucky that he's never had to be in close quarters with James Bond for an extended period of time. But everyone's luck runs out eventually.
