Mother, Are You Watching?
All these highs and lows And you're never really sure What you do it for Well, do you even want to know? You put on quite a show Mother, are you watching?
—from "Smoke And Mirrors" by Gotye
My moodboard for the 4th week of Moodboard March, filling the prompt "Watch" from @mi6-cafe. I've always been obsessed with the relationship between Bond & M (Judi Dench edition), and this song and lyrics really capture that tension between surveillance and attention, approval and provocation.

I am so tempted to ramble about M and Bond and their complicated and often contradictory relationships with societal norms and how that forms the basis of my christmas headcanons here but to spare your inbox from an essay let me not do that lmao
Anyway, my hc is that M does not like Christmas. She doesn't come from a family where it was big and she just does not see the point. Her husband and his extended family do though, and it is something she does for his sake every year - where they agree she will only skip going to whoevers house they are staying at (maybe one of his siblings hosts a big get together?) if there is an international crisis.
Bond cottons onto this and creates a minor crisis one year and he even gets a rare if curt thank you from her afterwards and it's one he treasures forever.
I also want them to run into one another at mi6 one Xmas after her husband dies, these two people who never felt a part of the merriness and togetherness and whatever else the day is meant to stand for, and they just drink together at Ms office - not even talking much but content in the company - and naturally never mention it again. And just to add more angst maybe it's the last Christmas before Turkey, too.
I knew if you weighed into this you would have a headcanon that broke my heart, but you went above and beyond even my own expectations. I'm shattered! THANKS!
This???? This!!!!!!
Bond cottons onto this and creates a minor crisis one year and he even gets a rare if curt thank you from her afterwards and it's one he treasures forever.
If you're in the mood to write Bond fic again at any point, I would LOVE to see you write this. God, it's so them.
I think you're spot-on about all of this, btw. Both Bond and M. I can completely visualise Dench!M gritting her teeth and bearing her late husband's family Christmases. That is such a real and vivid headcanon.
Not to hijack your last point with 00Q, but in one of my FFF fics, I had Bond and Q sharing a drink in Q's office on Christmas Eve. Though it was from Q's POV, in the back of my head I was thinking about Bond doing similar with M before she died, and how he'd been planning to show up the next Christmas too, but they both ended up at Skyfall before it could come around. In that fic, before he wandered the corridors and saw his Quartermaster's light on, he'd passed by her office - now Mallory's - to see it locked and dark. I think he spared a rare, genuine, sad little smile at the memory of sitting with her in contented silence.
Apologies for the takeover, but your ask made my brain fizzy with possibilities, as your headcanons always do!

Okay but Bond trusting Dench!M to be the one who kills him--a reverse Istanbul if you will.
Specifically a fic set in an M lives AU where it's now a few years post Skyfall, she has since retired, Bond still works for MI6 but has retired from active service as well; he and Q are in a stable, happy relationship and he and M have grown quite close since then. A set up like in the I could always move in with you verse.
Except, MI6 then needs to run a highly risky and highly off the books mission where if they get caught it will deny all knowledge because the political consequences are disastrous. And Bond volunteers to do it because there is still no one else both as competent and willing to risk their neck as he is without expectation of reward or rescue should things go south.
And he asks Mansfield to help run it alongside Q because Mallory cannot be tied to it in any shape or form and also because he trusts her to choose England every single time if it comes down to a choice between his life and his country.
Because he isn't sure that had it been Q they were sending into the field, he himself would have been able to make that call--not anymore, not again. Q has always been stronger than him, but more so perhaps he doesn't want Q to have to live with that burden for the rest of his life.
So he asks and trusts his oldest friend to carry it for them both instead.
#james bond#00q#dench!m#fic ideas#and the fic is from her pov so the reader also sees how#when they in fact do run into those close calls#she is as ruthless and snappy as always reminding Q to choose the mission over Bond at every turn#(not that Q rly needs reminding but it is easier when it's someone else telling you to put your fiance in peril time and again#rather than having to make that call yourself and she is aware this is exactly what bond has asked of her)#but internally she detests it#bc bond was always her favourite and now she has let herself get too close#now he is her (only) friend#it would ultimately be ok though - mission a success and bond alive at the enr of it if only barely#👀

Oh no M :( this sounds so true to her character and what the older generation might think about mental health. Inside the brusque and seemingly callous words is a young woman who never had her needs met. Stiff upper lip and all that :'(
Thanks for answering my ask!
For the writing ask meme, POV?
Hi @silverbrume Thank you for your ask. This was quite a tricky one as so far, readers have really only met James and Alice and I have switched between their POVs quite regularly. So this is the scene at the beginning of Chapter 6 when Alice reports in to M on Bond's progress, but from M's POV.
Six weeks, indeed M pondered as she hung up. 003 always was fond of a long play mission. No, Bond was needed. She'd start applying pressure at four weeks, have him in the field in five. Plenty of time. Although, Bond had given them all quite the fright in Budapest. All this mental health nonsense, 003 kept banging on about. They'd had none of that in her day, out in the field. They'd just had to get on with it, or get shot.

This woman was in two episodes of Doctor Who, served cunt, was beurochratically evil, and died. Iconic.
