007 Fest AU Prompt Table: Groundhog Day AU

Bond never expected to end up repeating time. And the day that M died was probably the day he least wanted to repeat. 

The first time it repeats, he thinks he got a concussion and is in Medical.

The third time, he debates telling M, but he knows she’ll think he’s utterly lost his mind.

By the sixth time, he didn’t think he had any tears left to cry. He has tried several different things, but he can’t seem to figure out exactly how M is getting mortally wounded.

Until the seventh time through. That’s always been his lucky number, right? 7? This time he stayed closer to M and was able to see which guy got through and took a shot at her before the trap took him out. Bond still fights his way through everything only to reach the church and cradle M while she dies. But now, while the tears pour hot and wet down his face, he’s thinking. Planning. Unless he’s dead and trapped in purgatory for eternity, saving M’s life has to be the way to break this cycle. It has to be.

He hasn’t just been fighting randomly. Bond has been paying attention to attack patterns and actions. He knows where many of the enemies will be. But even with this knowledge, cycle 8 fails. So do attempts 9-12.

But he won’t give up. He’s MI6′s most stubborn agent. He doesn’t give up. He promised he would bring M back to London, and he bloody will.

Try 13 does it. Just barely. He’s injured a bit more seriously than other times, particularly from a nasty head wound that has half his face covered in blood, but he and M and Kincade are all alive. Silva is dead.

They limp back to the house, but Skyfall is in shambles. Kincade leads Bond and M to his groundskeeper’s cottage, and the three of them clean up in silence. Even M is quiet, not berating Bond for the injuries he’s sustained. The agent is grateful for that too. He swears he can feel echoes of the pain from the previous attempts to protect M. All the wounds, the blood, the bone deep chill from swimming in the lake.

Bond doesn’t want to sleep. The part of him that isn’t sure whats happening or why is too afraid of his actions not being enough. Thankfully Kincade has alcohol, and they all drink scotch in silence while they watch the sun rise. And the new day begins. He’s not back in the Skyfall mansion. M is alive. Yes the Aston Martin is rather busted, but Kincade has offered to lend a car for them to take back.

The drive is also mostly silent again, until M softly thanks Bond for saving her life. That he had done incredibly well against odds that rather should’ve worked against them. He nods and keeps his eyes on the road. He doesn’t want to admit that it took him multiple tries to save her, multiple times of her dying in his arms before he was able to successfully get them out. He’s still not sure everything that happened was real.

Eventually, long after he and Q have gotten together, the nightmares of being trapped in the loop resurface. He talks in his sleep, so he tells Q what he experienced.  Q heard too much for him to deny it. To his shock, Q believes him. Because Q was stuck in that day too. Stuck in London after setting the trap, waiting to hear whether Bond and M had survived.

Wedding

[Charlie] 

Charlie had already gotten ready for the wedding and was waiting for Rose at the altar. They had both agreed to do a smaller ceremony for the two of them with Nibs and Misty before having their major wedding later that day for the rest of the kingdom to see. It would still be official but this way they would be able to avoid any other issues that might arise that had happened at his siblings' weddings.

[Rose]

Rose was fine with a small ceremony. It wasn’t a big deal to her either way, she was more focused on who she was marrying. She had a lot of nerves running through her since being married to Charlie changed a lot for them. At least she didn’t have to worry about the coronation right away. 

She grabbed her bouquet and walked down the aisle before standing on the side of Charlie.

[Charlie] 

Charlie turned and saw her walking down the aisle, he had to keep his mouth from dropping to the floor when he saw her. She looked absolutely stunning in her dress and Charlie could feel some tears threatening to fall at the corner of his eyes as he smiled. 

[Rose]

Rose smiled softly as she saw Charlie had tears in his eyes. “You look really handsome.” She whispered softly as the officiant started talking. 

[Charlie] 

“You look so beautiful Rose.” He smiles before taking her hands as the officiant was talking. When it came time to recite their vows, Charlie repeated the words to Rose before saying ‘I do.’ 

[Rose]

Rose took Charlie’s hands and waited for her turn to recite her vows before saying ‘I do’ as well. She blushed brightly as they were pronounced husband and wife and told they could kiss.

[Charlie] 

He pulled her closer and gave her a kiss as his parents clapped supportingly in the background. The male could feel the blushing rising to his cheeks before he took her hand and walked them back out of the ceremony. 

[Rose]

Rose kissed him back and felt him taking her hand and following him out of the room. “Your parents won’t be there right? When we...um...they won’t be watching?” 

[Charlie] 

“No, they won’t be watching us. I figured I could have Jay watch us or something, she did that for my siblings.” He says with a shrug. “Unless you want someone else to watch?” 

[Rose]

“Well I mean there will be a ton of royals watching so...what’s one more?” She said, trying not to sound nervous. “Um well I will...get ready okay?”

[Charlie] 

“Okay darling. I will see you there.” He smiles before giving her a kiss. His hand rubs her arms affectionately. “Don’t be nervous, just focus on me okay?” 

[Rose]

Rose kissed him back before feeling his hand on her arm. She laughed softly as he could tell she was nervous and nodded, “Okay. I will focus on you.” She smiled before kissing him again and walking off to her room.

[Charlie]

Charlie smiled before going and getting changed before putting on the robe. He could feel himself getting nervous as well but he pushed those feelings down and went to the room to wait for Rose. 

[Rose]

The siren went with Jay before getting ready and sliding on a robe and walking into the room. She saw the bed and curtsied at all the royals looking at her. She tightened her robe before moving to Charlie. “Hi...um...are you ready?” 

[Charlie]

“Mhm ready as I'll ever be.” He says trying to sound confident before taking her hand and leading her to the bed and moving the curtains away so that she could get into the bed. 

[Rose] 

Rose followed Charlie to the bed and thanked him for moving the curtain before getting onto the bed. She waited for Charlie and closed the curtain before smiling softly at him. She moved to undo her robe, revealing her lingerie to him.

[Charlie]

Charlie had gotten into the bed after her and closed the curtain behind them. When she moved to remove her robe, he did the same. Under Charlie’s robe was nothing since he didn’t need to wear anything. 

When he saw what she was wearing, he smiled before kissing her passionately. His hands sliding up her thighs teasingly. “Fuck you look so gorgous.” 

[Rose]

Rose’s eyes moved over Charlie’s body as she noticed he wasn’t wearing anything. Her eyes moved to his cock and she bit her lip before feeling him kissing her. She couldn’t stop herself from kissing him back as she moaned softly. “Thank you daddy.” She said against his lips as her hands moved over his body.

[Charlie]

His cheeks turned bright pink when he heard her words. He wasn’t familiar with the phrase. He had heard his parents say it but other than that he had not experienced it himself. His cock twitched as he heard her words though and he grinded against her. 

His fingers slide down to slip between her panties. “Should we play around a bit or should we just hop into it and then have some real fun once everyone leaves?” He purrs into her ear. 

[Rose]

Rose was blushing brightly as she realized what she said but seeing Charlie’s reaction let her know he liked it. She felt him grinding against her and she arched back when his fingers slid under her panties. “Just fuck me Charlie.” She purred as her eyes turned red.

[Charlie]

Charlie could smell her arousal and his eyes turned bright red as he ripped her panties off and kissed down her chest making sure to leave marks. He grinded just the tip against her entrance since he knew they had been messing around the past few days so she should be properly prepared without having to spend too much time on it.  

They had both discussed that they wanted to spend as little time in front of everyone as possible. He waited for her consent before sliding into her slowly.

[Rose]

She felt him ripping off her panties and was beyond turned on at this point. She knew she wet enough without Charlie having to worry about hurting her. She nodded smiling before feeling him sliding into her. Her nails raked down his back as she moaned his name loudly. “Fuck you feel...so good.” 

There was a scent coming from Charlie she had never experienced before but it was driving her crazy and she wanted him so badly. She pulled him closer so he would push in deeper. “Please...please don’t hold back.”

[Charlie]

When he could feel her walls clenching around him, he had to hold himself still after bottoming out to give him some time to adjust. Her nails digging into his back turned him on even more. “Shit Rose…” 

“Hold on, I don’t want to cum too early. You feel too good…” He confessed with blushing cheeks. It took him a few moments to calm himself down before starting to slide himself in and out of her at a steady pace. 

[Rose]

Rose smiled at his words and nodded, “Okay.” She waited with him before feeling him starting to move. She intertwined their fingers and moved slightly to kiss his neck. She remembered when they were messing around there was a specific part of his neck really like her to suck on so she did that.

[Charlie]

He squeezed her hand as he started to pick up the pace. His alpha pheromones were driving him wild as he could feel himself on the verge of cumming. When she sucked on his neck, he thrusted deep inside of her. “I can’t hold back fuck, you feel so good..I’m gonna…” He came deep inside of her as he could feel the knot starting to grow and lock them together. “Shit…I’m sorry I didn’t mean to cum so early.” He burrows his face in the pillow as he groaned unhappily with himself. 

[Rose]

Rose felt him thrusting into her and moaned loudly before feeling something growing and locking them together. She remembered the knot Charlie told her about and it didn’t hurt as much as she thought it would. She heard him starting to talk and covered his mouth before hearing people leaving the room.

She waited until they all left before seeing him bury his face in the pillow. “Charlie, it's okay. I wanted you too.” She assured him. “I...I wanted to give you pleasure and it was really hot. And I also knew if you came they would leave.”

[Charlie]

Charlie could hear people leaving as well. “Yeah but we were supposed to cum together.” He tells her with a small pout. “I guess this means I need to make it up to you.” He smirked as he waited for the knot to go down. “How do you suppose I should make it up to you darling?” 

[Rose]

“You have our whole life to make me cum. They didn’t need to be here for that. They just wanted to make sure you came and you did.” She told him, not wanting him to be so hard on himself. She bit her lip as she heard his question, “I...well...I really would like you to keep...um...fucking me.” She blushed. “Your um knot, right? It’s um pushed against my...it feels really good.” 

[Charlie]

“Mhm I can do that.” He smirked before grinding his hips against her so that it would press against her sweet spot. His hand came down to rub against her clit as he knew that that would also bring her more pleasure. 

[Rose]

Rose felt him grinding his hips and her hands latched onto his shoulders as she moaned his name softly. She couldn’t help but grind back against him as her eyes flashed red. “You feel…so good.” She moaned.

[Charlie]

He could feel himself getting worked up once more as he grinded against her, the urge to want to please her was pushing him into overdrive. “Are you going to cum for daddy baby girl?” He purred into her ear while speeding up his motions. 

[Rose]

Hearing Charlie’s words in her ear turned her on more than she ever thought they would. “Yes daddy…I’m…fuck I’m going to cum.” Her nails ran down down his back as all the pleasure pushed her over the edge and her walls clenched tightly around him as she came.

[Charlie]

Charlie could feel her clenching around him as she came hard. He could feel his own orgasm pushing him over the edge when he felt her clenching. His hands held her in place as he filled her deep with his cum. Some of it dripped out of both of them once more. “Fuck...such a good girl.” 

[Rose]

Rose felt Charlie cumming again and bit her lip as she felt some of it dripping out of her. Hearing him praise her made her eyes turn red as she cupped his cheek gently before kissing him passionately. “Fuck you are so hot.” She said against his lips.

[Charlie]

“I think you mean that you are so hot darling.” He smirked before kissing her once more. “Since we have the other ceremony later, why don’t we just spend some time together just you and I beforehand?” Charlie purred into her ear. 

[Rose]

“What did you have in mind?” Rose asked, kissing down his neck and leaving marks wherever she could. 

[Charlie]

“Oh I think you know exactly what I have in mind, baby girl. Why don’t we head to the bedroom now that we are officially married hm?” He smirked as he purred into her ear seductively. 

[Rose]

Rose smiled as she heard his words and nodded her head before kissing him again. “I would like that a lot…husband.” She smiled playfully.

[Charlie]

“Then let’s go. What are we waiting for?” He says before taking her hand as he brought her out of there and to the bedroom.

007 Fest Headcanon: Bond’s Infinite Knives

Thanks to Only_1_Truth for introducing me to this idea.

Bond, international spy, deadly with anything he wants, basically John Wick but no dead dogs... has a seemingly endless supply of weapons. Specifically, knives.

Captured and patted down by terrorists? He cuts himself free with a knife in his watch.

Avoiding enemies in the dark? Throwing knives.

Going through a metal detector? Six doesn’t even scan him anymore after the one time they did and he took out no fewer than fifty hidden blades.

[roseforthethorns]

007 Fest Headcanon: Flare

Q thinks that flares are outdated and clunky, too easy for spies to draw attention to themselves. He prefers more subtle ways for signalling for backup or seeing in dark places. Like night vision spectacles.

Bond, knowing Q’s irritation with them, looks for literally any excuse to use them as distractions or in any possibly mundane way. Just to get under Q’s skin. Their comms banter is legendary.

007 Fest Headcanon: Komodo Dragon

The “komodo dragon” excuse becomes legendary to the point of being a ridiculous inside joke.

Broken tech? Komodo dragon did it. “Bond, you were in Wales. There are no komodo dragons there.”

Sudden power failure at Six? Komodo dragon must’ve eaten through electricity cables.

Bond suddenly asking his Quartermaster out for dinner? Komodo dragon stole his brain.

007 Fest AU and Fluff: Tradesmen and Water

Q works as a lighthouse keeper and Bond is a fisherman.

Q’s used to living alone with his cat, inventing and tinkering while keeping the lighthouse in tip top shape. 

Bond lives in the local village with his wife, Vesper... until a terrible storm comes through that kills her. He is at sea and can’t get back in time to save her.

Q likes watching for different boats while he works, and he has frequently noted the Skyfall, but he’s barely ever spoken five words to Bond and really only seen him from a distance when Q does go into town for food and supplies.

A year after Vesper’s death, there’s another terrible storm that wrecks Bond’s boat and leaves him washed up on the beach with a broken leg. Q saw the wreck and hurries down to investigate and help if he can.

Which means he ends up having to pull together pieces of Bond’s boat in order to drag Bond back up to the lighthouse before helping clean him up and set his leg. Q at least can work with splints, and he has crutches from when he has sprained his ankles before. Not fun with lighthouse stairs.

Unable to go into the village, Q brings the doctor out to Bond. Bond proceeds to be a horrible patient, but the doctor helps finish setting the bone and prescribes bed rest and no weight on the leg for at least 6 weeks.

So Q has to take care of Bond. And they end up growing close. Especially when Bond is brooding and Q just shares the space with him. And is willing to share his scotch reserves.

Bond is also able to help around the lighthouse when he motors around on the crutches. TURNS OUT- he’s very good at woodworking as well as fishing. He helps fix Q’s rocking chair and his inventing table.

Basically: when Bond is finally healed, he doesn’t want to leave. And they end up living together. And Q is always there to bring Bond home every time he heads back out to sea.

007 Fest Fic Recs: AUs

SOME OF MY FAVORITES. This is by no means a complete list. But it has some of the ones I’ve enjoyed reading the most.

1. What Telescopes Can See (Rating: T) by Only_1_Truth

Bond is undercover with PIRATES!!!! I love a good Pirate ANYTHING. Except these pirates have been evading MI6 and everyone else. Including the merpeople. Like Q. Q is a merman. :)

2. The Greatest Responsibility is to Hide the Truth... Because Superpowers Suck (Rating: M) by venstar

At times equal parts action and crack, Bond has always had a talent for resurrection, and turns out Q is an inadvertent technopath. Plus I remember absolutely loving Q’s roomba. Basically, they’re both SUPERHEROES! :D

3. No Rest for the Wingless (Rating: M) by Only_1_Truth

An incredibly emotional, angsty, and ultimately happy story where Q has lost his wings. Bond and Alec both have wings. Enter Silva, born without wings and obsessed with Q. Lots of bombs, traps, danger, and our favorite idiots falling in love.

4. My Demons Play Well With Yours (Rating: E) by Only_1_Truth

The first story I remember reading by Truth, this is an AU where demons and hellspawn exist. And the new Quartermaster is, in fact, a demon. Skyfall setting with an adjusted ending. Plus a very hot, rough sex scene between Bond and Q when Bond makes a deal with the resident demon.

[roseforthethorns]

Fluff Prompt Table: Goose and Free Space (domestic cuddles)

To try and decompress from work, Q sometimes plays video games. Recently, he’s discovered he’s rather partial to Untitled Goose Game. He likes getting to sometimes be a terrible goose and screw up other people instead of being told his tech his once again been destroyed by 007.

So he likes to come home, shower, and curl up in junky clothes and play on his Nintendo Switch. He knows that his boyfriend (they don’t technically have labels on it but partner just seems to formal) will arrive with takeaway and an apology for once again busting another earpiece and bringing his gun back in pieces.

And when Bond arrives, he’ll set out the food and chuckle to himself as he listens to Q’s muttered monologue while exploring the game and bothering other characters as a goose. Eventually they’ll end up cuddling on the sofa and eating the Chinese food. Bond won’t apologize for breaking the tech, but he does show his apology for upsetting Q in the gentleness of his touch and his willingness to rub Q’s shoulders. The cats will join them, and Q will eventually fall asleep leaning against Bond.

[roseforthethorns]

Fluff Prompt Table: Orchestrate and Competence Kink

MI6′s game of... THE FLOOR IS LAVA!!!!!

Rather than having the departments compete against each other (which would potentially make things very, very unfair, each team is made up of: one agent, one boffin, and one staff member.

Q, Bond, and Tanner are on a team together.

The rules are simple: the last team with any members standing will win. Lethal measures are forbidden. The idea is to have this be a fun competition to hone everyone’s skills. And it’s just a “happy accident” that it doubles as interdepartmental team building. If M deliberately orchestrated it this way, including deciding on the teams... well, no one would dare challenge her authority on the matter.

Q, Bond, and Tanner instantly hole up in Q’s office while Q lays out their plan for ultimate success and domination. Bond is rather immediately smitten. It turns out his Quartermaster is far more competitive than he ever imagined (Tanner had some idea, but this is rather ridiculous), and Bond keeps staring at Q with some mixture of hunger, admiration, and pure lust. Which, of course, Q notices.

So the deal is: utterly crush the competition. Then kissing. But if they lose, then Bond gets to keep his blue balls. Bond immediately agrees. Tanner rolls his eyes.

Q, of course, has lots of plans, and as long as they don’t touch the floor, they’re fine. In fact, it comes down to them vs Moneypenny, Alec, and R as the last two teams standing (Moneypenny technically counts as staff now since she’s no longer an agent). Eve and Alec manage to force Bond and Q into a corner with no way out. R has already been knocked to the floor earlier on. It’s going to be close, and everyone has forgotten about Tanner.

So he goes ahead and activates Q’s trap. It knocks his teammates to the floor, but it takes care of Eve and Alec too. So Q’s team wins.

And Q and Bond start snogging right there. While everyone groans and Tanner tries to suggest they “get a room.”

[roseforthethorns]

007 Fest Fic Recs: WIPs

My personal rules used to be that I never EVER read WIPs because I was afraid the babies would be abandoned and my curiosity would forever go unsated. HOWEVER- with my discovery of Only_1_Truth’s works in the last year or two, I have discovered that waiting for WIPs to update can be a freaking BLAST. Every email update is like a present.

1. Tales from Q Branch (Rating:E)

This delightful collection of EVERYTHING is a wild ride with each new installment. Truth tackles about every conceivable genre over the course of the current 21 chapters. Each one is a new scenario or AU, some fluffy, some smutty, all some of the most wonderful 00Q out there. My personal favorite is Chapter 11: Deer Prince Q, where Q is fae and escapes to our world only to run into a rather handsome, rugged hunter living in the north of Scotland

2. The Last Jedi, 00Q Edition (Rating: T)

WHAT IF: James Bond were a storm trooper recruited by MI6 as a double agent and Q were a Jedi-in-training and they both end up running from the First Order? And Bond is a smart mouth and really sexy and Q is super excited about tech to the point of helping out random droids? Oh- and Bond has a mechanical arm.

3. Schiamachy (Rating: M)

The crossover to end ALL crossovers. Seriously. This combines just about every fandom you can imagine, throws them all on a remote island, oh and then Moriarty decides to cause general anarchy and mayhem, putting everyone’s favorite Boffin at risk and forcing him to team up with 007, one of the most dangerous Hounds in all of Eigengrau.

[roseforthethorns]

007 Fest AU Free Space: PLANTS!

Yeah, it’s also kind of a crack idea. And thanks to Only_1_Truth for her extensive plant expertise and knowledge. :)

Bond, as we all know, has a tendency towards being very flashy and certainly has a skill for “resurrection.” Therefore, he would be a hibiscus. These are flashy plants that can literally make you think they’ve died over the winter and then suddenly THEY BLOOM. They can also bloom in like, brutal summer heat and stuff.

Q is our lovely, faithful boffin. He looks fairly fragile even though he is anything but. Therefore this precious character is bindweed. Bindweed has cute, tiny flowers and is a very slender vine, but if you tried to use a lawnmower on it, it will break your lawn mower into pieces.

Hearty Dinner plate Hibiscus: 

Bindweed:

[roseforthethorns]

007 Fest Headcanon: Fluff Prompt Fawn

Q is secretly jealous of the way all the women on Bond’s missions fawn over him. But, like a good, professional Quartermaster, he doesn’t say anything. Though he does find it interesting that Bond, once out of “Seduction mode,” doesn’t return the affections at all. He has to remind himself that Bond is an agent and that sex is a weapon.

Takes him AGES to realize that Bond is actually fawning over him. He just shows it in a really odd way because Bond is a one man tornado with attachment issues.

[roseforthethorns]

007 Fest Headcanon: 1960s AU

Q is in a band. With the rise of rock and roll and groups like The Beatles, Q is finding traction with his own up and coming group “The Techies.”

Bond is his muscle for the group, kind of like a roadie but with more responsibility. It helps having a handsome blond with muscles around, though Q is fairly certain Bond doesn’t just fancy women.

It’s hard to be closeted, but the alternative is far, far worse. Their affair begins in secret, though it still stays fairly private even after homosexuality is legalized in 1967. 

[roseforthethorns]

007 Fest: Fluff Prompt Choir

Bond has a secret. He likes listening to choir music. It’s one of the few things he learned from his parents and then held onto. It keeps their memory alive for him.

What this also means is that every year he listens to the Lessons and Carols from King’s College on Christmas Eve. If he’s on a mission, he either figures out how to listen to it abroad or he waits and listens when he returns to the UK.

[roseforthethorns]

007 Fest: Modern Royalty AU

Q absolutely hates, hates, HATES being a royal. The constant scrutiny, the 24/7 media frenzy, the really odd and at the same time distant family. Bond is his personal bodyguard, and they’ve been friends for Q’s whole life. Their affair is inevitable, and Q, sick of hiding everything, decides that they won’t stay secret.

Eventually he abdicates his titles, writes off his whole family, and he and Bond go live in a little cottage where Q can invent and Bond can hunt and garden.
