Favorite Self-Rec Fics

@thestalwartheart tagged me for this a bit ago, and I am just now getting around to doing it. Apologies for that. It's been a crazy week. 1. Traitor's Gate - This is actually one of my earlier works in the 00Q fandom, and it tends to fly beneath the radar. It was inspired by a lovely moment I spent looking across The Thames at The Tower of London after seeing Ben Whishaw portray Brutus in Julius Caesar. It's one of my favorite fics because of that memory. 2. 21 Grams - Though it is currently the 8th part in the WaterVerse series, it was originally the fourth one written. It's a close examination of what James is like after a catastrophic tragedy befalls his family. Yes, it does help to read the previous installments. 3. Hello (co-authored with @boffin1710) - Our most recent fic, it focus on grief and the grieving process, and what happens when James comes back to London 15 years after he left with Madeleine Swann and finds a very different Q from the man he knew before. 4. Without Being Told (co-authored with @boffin1710)- Though it is still a WiP, and lonnnnng one, it came along at a time that was such a difficult one for so many people, not just in the fandom, but world wide, and because of that it will always have a special place in my heart. Well, because of that and long-suffering Alec and "catting" Q. It was a toss up for this fourth fic: Without Being Told or Château de la Résurrection. I like them both so much. Boffin and I have made a promise to one another (and consequently to our readers) that it will be finished. 5. Bouncy - Pure, unapologetic crack. Drunk Q. Reallllly drunk Q! Complete with the gif that inspired the fic.

I must now tag 5 other fanwork creators, so I choose: @ato-the-bean, @castillon02, @boffin1710, @notwhatyouthoughtiwas, and @verdigrissoup

Art Round Robin

The animals of the Bond’Verse have gone on strike and are demanding better working conditions. 

Max the Parrot is bloody well sick of saying, “Give us a kiss!” and wants better dialogue along with four new foraging toys he saw featured on Animal Planet. The komodo is still trying to digest that sodding Walther. Can we say animal endangerment, people?! Blofeld’s cat is tired of substandard treats.  “And a bit of variety, too, if you please!  And a new cat bed.  The princess knew she was sleeping on a pea, but I have to accept sleeping on a boulder?!”  What can you say?  She’s a diva.  The mouse at Hotel L'American Tanger is still waiting for even a bloody ‘Thank you!’ for pointing Bond in the direction of the hidden room.  “Humans!  The room was hidden, yes, but not that well.  Thought he was a bit shite of a spy if he couldn’t figure that much out, but it was clear that they’d never leave if they didn’t get what they were after, so I showed them the way.  Fat lot of good it did.  They didn’t even leave me a biscuit crumb to chew on.” Kincade’s Labradors were also asked to comment on their grievances but had to dash ... red squirrels wait for no dog.  But then, they’re Labradors, what sort of issues could they possibly have?  Not enough opportunities to give kisses? The animal art for this round robin was created by @notwhatyouthoughtiwas, @anyawen, @bluebellofbakerstreet, @reallyneedsalife, and @3nigm4art.  The animal demands and newsletter graphic were written/designed by @dassandre-00qpidsarrow​.

Scavenger Hunt Item #84 - Create work that's inspired by the work of somebody from your team (with their permission)

I read The Sharing Platter and was seized by the need to see the wonderful Scarlett Papava in her post-mission pub outfit, so I asked if I could draw her. It’s a new style and I hate drawing hands a feet but I’m so happy with how this turned out.

I hope you like it @notwhatyouthoughtiwas @boffin1710 @dassandre-00qpidsarrow !

00Q00 - Polyamory Day

Each year, James Bond, Alec Trevelyan, and The Quartermaster are posed questions about their polyamorous relationship that they respond to (albeit reluctantly at times) to help celebrate 007 Fest -- they’re big fans of the month, after all. This year the questions start out with “What is one of your best memories with your partner?” Below is James response to that question about Q and Alec, but be sure to check out the blogs of @boffin1710 and @notwhatyouthoughtiwas to get Q’s and Alec’s answers to that question, too.

JAQ - Rare Pair Head Canon 1

For Rare Pair Week, @notwhatyouthoughtiwas​, @boffin1710​, and I have put together head canon cards for the relationship between James Bond (written by me), Q (written by Boffin), and Alec Trevelyan (written by Ashe).  Each set of cards will focus on a specific head canon we have for this trio.  This is a continuation of last year’s head canon sets.  See the other author’s blogs to get the full head canon.  We hope you enjoy them!
