Summary: The shitty thing was that Q had a boyfriend at the time – a ravishing, blond, public-school-boy wank fantasy of an actual, actual boyfriend. Then Bond came along.

Note from submitter: This fic is funny, hot, and thrilling. Great read!

Looking for a 00Q fic

I’m looking for a fic in which (I think) Bond overhears someone saying that Q loveD him and he’s pining and goes to see Q and somehow he’s like you loveD me ??? Past tense ? As in you don’t anymore ? and ofc Q still loves him and they get together

I can’t remember if there getting back together or if they never were an item but I distinctly remember James saying “You loved me????”

[slythgeek]

For @mi6-cafe ‘s WIP Wednesday, a few lines from the third chapter of the fic I’m currently writing, Fine, which follows Q dealing with his trauma after the end of Spectre. The first two chapters are on AO3.

-

“Do you plan to wait up in my sitting room all night, then?” Q asked.

“I hadn’t thought about it. I suppose. Unless that’ll keep you from sleeping,” Bond said, taking another sip of cut-rate scotch.

“I doubt I’ll do much sleeping tonight, anyway,” Q said.

The Ineffability of Time: A Bond Omens Story

Chapter 4: Just call me a Lumberjack is up! It's time to face those Feelings(™)...

“So, spill, Mr. James Bond, have you told that brilliant Q what you feel, or you hoping he’ll figure it out? ‘Cause, the brilliant ones never do, y’know. And he’s tooooo in his own head to tell you what he is feeling," Crowley told Bond.

MEANWHILE

“Oh gods, okay, yes, I want to climb that man like a Scots Pine,” Q told Aziraphale.

Words: 9,290 words | Chapters: 4/4 | Rating: Teen and Up

Relationships: James Bond/Q , Aziraphale/Crowley

A fun story that started in a rambling chat with @murphysscribe!

[benoits-neckerchieves]

Can someone pls pls draw this but as James Bond and Q? 🙏🙏

[ospreyadderart]

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💗

I really don't ever talk about the fact I have written stuff. It's been a long time since I've updated anything. Not because I don't want to just life has happened a lot since 2020 - you know?

But if you do read or have read I'd love to hear! 😊💛

Chapters: 2/2 Fandom: James Bond (Craig Movies) Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: James Bond/Q Characters: Eve Moneypenny, M | Gareth Mallory Additional Tags: Slice of Life, Romance, Established Relationship, Alternate Universe - Vampire Summary:

“Then what is it?”

James holds his gaze through the small phone screen. He can’t bring himself to say a word.

Eventually, Q sighs. “Do you fancy a trip to Cairo? I know Mallory would be happy to see you.” He pauses. “As, of course, would I.”

James swallows. He’s not sure he can survive a flight that long.

Q seems to know it. He sighs again. “Or I could come to California.”

James wishes it were easier. “You don’t have to.”

Q waves a hand. “I’d do more for you if you needed me to.”

“I know you hate to travel.”

“It’s the flying, that’s all.” He watches Q force a smile. “But I do miss you something terrible, and I love you even more.”

 The 00Q/Only Lovers Left Alive au that literally nobody asked for! Featuring depressed James, patient Q, and even less plot than the original Jarmusch film, which is really saying something.

For the wonderful @bishybarnaby. Happy Birthday sweetie

Happy Birthday Q

Bond had noticed it as soon as he had returned south from Skyfall. Despite an absolute shed load of work to do as a result of Silva's decimation of their security, Q had taken the time to mark the birthday of one of his minions. There had been cake, singing and the surprise gift of the afternoon off. Each time Bond called to Q Branch, there seemed to be a desk covered in cards, or semi-deflated, shiny helium balloons. Three months after Skyfall, Bond had arrived to return his equipment only to find Q hanging up birthday bunting in preparation for the morning.

He didn't see the fascination with birthdays himself. He had a vague recollection of cake and singing from when he was 7? 8? There had never been a big party- so few other children in the area. At Eton, his birthday had only served to remind him of how alone he was- no big parcels of food and cake for him. As he'd grown older, he had even begun to see his birthday as a steady march towards the inevitable; each one firmly reminding him of the ever shortening odds of him remaining alive.

Clearly, though, his Quartermaster loved them. James imagined a childhood of parties and games, maybe visits to museums and art galleries as he grew up. Definitely a lot of love and warmth. Why else would he insist on making such a fuss of them?

Ten and a half months after he and Q had first met, James had found a small, shiny wrapped parcel in the go-bag he had retrieved from the Aston's boot. Suspicious of an unknown object, he had laid it carefully on the bed, circling it. There were no ticks, it had no smell and wasn't moving or shaking in any way. Gun unholstered, he pulled on the bow, the silver-grey ribbon falling away to reveal a box. Nestled within were a pair of oval cufflinks, platinum and engraved with his initials. He found the note underneath the cushion:

"Happy Birthday, Bond. Do take care of these, they contain a tracker, of course, but also an EMD that will disable all electronic devices within 10 meters, quite the range, if I do say so myself. Regards, Q"

It was only as he shot his cuffs to admire them in place did Bond calculate this was the first birthday gift anyone in MI6 had ever given him and his first since a girlfriend 17 years ago.

***

Bond threw the paper folder at the wall in disgust, the 4 sheets contained within floating gently to the ground. He had reached another dead end. Every single time he thought he had a lead, it just turned out to be a brick wall. The Quartermaster didn't have a birthday. When Q had adopted his new identity, it had not come with such a mundane thing as a birth date - or confirmable age. Such a good job had been done in burying his previous existence that even calling in 3 favours had resulted in drawing a blank. So, he decided to try a different approach.

A few careful questions, a lifetime of reading micro expressions because his life depended on it and some word association meant Bond had narrowed it down to February. He then launched a campaign of attrition. He asked, begged, pleaded, hounded, harassed and even threatened Q to tell him when Q's own birthday was. None of it worked.

Which is why Q now found his office filled with 5 balloon displays, 3 bouquets of flowers, a number of half eaten trays of doughnuts, no less than 12 birthday cards and a pile of unopened gifts. Bond had just treated the previous 2 weeks as if everyday was Q's birthday. Each offering had received the same response; a shake of Q's head and a muttering of, "but it's not my birthday."

February 21st arrived overcast, but a little milder than the previous few days. Bond arrived at Q's office for 9.30 a.m. He handed Q a takeaway cup of Earl Grey and a small, red gift bag. Q placed the tea down carefully and met Bond's hopeful gaze. For the first time, he actually opened his gift - a selection of 3 colognes from his favourite place. Raising his head, he smiled at Bond:

"Thank you, James. It has been a very long time since I marked my birthday."

Bond beamed in delight."So I finally got it right? Happy birthday, Q! May I give you a hug?"

Q nodded and Bond drew him into a warm, relaxing hug. They stayed there for a long moment. Both men knew Q was lying, but they didn't care. From now on, as far as James was concerned, February 21st would always be Q's birthday and he was already planning how to outdo himself next year.

TryingToScribble (TryingToMystrade) presents the next instalment of TTM Advent 2024!

Read the new 00Q holiday fic That's Christmas To Me on AO3 now!

[earlgreyinpajamas]

hiya! i recently binge-watched the pierce brosnan movies and i absolutely love how joyful and innovative desmond llewelyn’s Q is. do you have any fic recs where ben whishaw’s Q is trained under or heavily influenced by the older Q? thanks so much!!

1. the ghosts still left behind by pdameron ( @slverjohn)

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.

~~~

best fic to ever fic (and also fits your ask the best). i said what i said

2. Ulysses by girlbookwrm

“Paperwork for the new head of Q-Branch,” Tanner said.

“Of course.” The words were like glass in his throat. Smoke inhalation was a bitch. His brain felt slow and foggy, like it was full of smoke too. “Who shall I take them to?”

M lifted one white brow. “They’re for you, Quartermaster.”

Bond and Q are drawn together by names, work, and a certain Aston Martin. In which Q is kidnapped once, Bond is poisoned twice, and Eve is a badass on at least three occasions. AKA that time I tripped and wrote 80,000 words of 00Q.

All titles unapologetically stolen from Alfred, Lord Tennyson.

~~~

there is a slight mention of the former q in the beginning in pretty neutral tones, so i'm not entirely sure what their relationship was dskfsh im so sorry this is pretty much the best i can do atp

3. Risk ratio by withered (@everything-withered)

Bond is dangerous.

Never to England. Never to the Crown. Never to MI6.

But everyone else is in the blast zone.

Q included.

~~~

there is a slight mention of the former q, but it isn't in the most flattering terms. unfortunately there doesn't seem to be many fics that fit your ask :(( sorry

Reflections could be misleading sometimes. Convex mirrors, anamorphoses. Q could not think about anything else as he gazed at his own reflection for the fifth time that day.

*** Alec is back from a mission and James very well-intended for the three of them to spend a good reunion night.

Why, Q, I'm feeling quite buggered actually (Ao3 link)

Hi, so this was a fanfic inspired by some tags @cicerfics left on a post she reblogged that were so true tbh. So I wrote it and here it is, hope you all enjoy 😘✌️.

Summary: Q never thought that this would be something he had to deal with, ever.

"Where is Bond, Q?" The tired voice of M asked from Q's phone.

"I, ah, wouldn't know sir," Q replied back, his free hand clenched in a tight fist, "it seems double-o seven has gone off grid," he cleared his throat, "again."

There was silence on the other end, a silence so telling that Q closed his eyes and bent his head, praying to whatever god there was that M would accept this.

A few eternal seconds later M finally replied, "alright Q," he said, voice drier than it's ever been, "when Bond finally comes back in, do let him know he's needed back at HQ. There's a mission for him."

"Certainly sir!" Q said at once and winced, knowing his relief was too evident, "I'll be sure to let him know."

Another pause, then finally, "I'm sure you will." And the leader of MI6 hung up.

Q quickly dropped his hand and threw his phone onto the couch and took a shuddering breath.

"Off the grid, am I?" A voice called down the hall.

Q groaned and walked towards the voice, coming from behind a half closed door.

Opening the door revealed the talked about agent in question, laying in a bath filled with epsom salts. The water did nothing to hide his broad gleaming chest, a chest littered with red marks.

"My, my Q," he said with a grin, "lying to M on my whereabouts again are we?"

Q closed his eyes and groaned again, knocking his head on the doorframe, "what was I supposed to tell him, James? That I've made sure his best operative is out of commission for at least a week! Do you know what he'd do then James?"

"What will he do, Q?" James asked, grin still so evident.

"He'll ask me how!" Q cried and lowered himself to the tiled floor and gripped his hair tight in his hands.

James laughed brightly, making the water lap at the sides, "do you think you'd get in trouble for damaging government property?"

"James!"

The horrible agent laughed again. "Tell M you were ensuring I knew how to handle every scenario I could face in the field."

"Oh yes, that'll go over so well," Q rolled his eyes, now leaning against the door frame, 'Hello M, sir, yes agent double-o seven will not be available for the next week, why you ask? Oh yes, I was making sure he could handle absolutely anything in the field so I buggered him so hard I blew his back out."

James laughed so hard water splashed over the edge and winced slightly.

Q sighed, "careful James, you don't want to push this for another week."

James' bright blue eyes flashed to his, "wouldn't I, Q?"

"Absolutely not James!" Q said and refused to listen to the voice inside him screaming absolutely yes.
