[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

“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

James Bond. In 2024

Something I just realized:

Kristen has Fig as her Paladin/knight

Adaine has Fabian as her “champion of the oracle”

All we need now is for Gorgug to become the Quartermaster to Riz’s 007.

Rewatch of spectre got me thinking about him

[pommedepersephone]

I'll hazard I can do more damage on my laptop sitting in my pajamas before my first cup of Earl Grey than you can do in a year in the field.

How it started and how it ended. With Q proving he was telling the absolute truth.

00q fic idea: Q gets kidnapped, and Bond is sent to recover him.

Bond, M, and Moneypenny are all tense, worried what the kidnappers are going to do to their quartermaster, trusting that he wouldn’t break, but fearing how badly he’ll be hurt. Bond is obviously chosen to retrieve him, and he’s ready to kill every person that gets in his way (and anyone who had anything to do with hurting Q)

What he didn’t expect at the scene was bodies upon bodies in the facility, like someone had already gunned through before him. Tense and suspicious, Bond follows the sound of gunshots on the other side of the building. Thinking the possibility of a gang war or infighting.

What he found instead, was his skinny quartermaster straddling an armed man, repeatedly beating his skull with a mallet. Undershirt covered in blood, breathing hard but evenly. Bond is frozen in place at the scene before him, distracted enough at the sight that he neglected his surroundings.

Q whips his head to face him, curls untamed and bouncing, as he grabs the gun from the beaten soldier’s grasp, and instantly fires a bullet over Bond’s shoulder.

The sound of a heavy body hitting the concrete floor behind him causes his to quickly turn around to see another armoured man, dead only a few meters from him, bullet wound directly through his left eye…

…Slowly turning to face his quartermaster once more, he watches as the not so scrawny man gracefully stands from off the body, bespectacled blue eyes not straying for a second from his own. Blood spattering high cheekbones, thin fingers tightly wrapped around the grip of the gun, hands steady and confident. He’s done this before.

“007, I take it you’re here to rescue me?”

…Bond has never been so attracted to someone in his entire life.

Yesterday night I felt sick with my stomach and stayed awake all night making audio recordings to my best friend about watching Quantum of Solace for the first time (I am still finishing it) and then I started randomly talking about 00q and accidentally opened up the Pandora Box of my memories but I instantly remembered everything I ever knew about 00q like when it got adopted by the BBC Sherlock fandom or the Paddington is the new Quartermaster stuff or when everybody was obsessed with the fucking Téméraire and it was EVERYWHERE and everybody made the joke "It's a ship!!!" and the age difference discourse between James and Q and Q being called Quentin and Mycroft and Sherlock being Q older brothers and disapproving of his relationship with James Bond and the fucking tea mugs and so many cats and everybody talking about Q's jumpers and making up OC minions for him and every fanfiction in which James retires to be with Q because he was the only one he ever loved aside from Vesper and Q feeling insecure because of her and all then Madeleine Sawnn came along and everybody was distraught even though the flirting was there in Spectre and we were all distraught because we could have had it all and so many fix it fics so many fics about James cosntantly loosing his gadgets and how hard it was for Q to watch him seduce other people and everybody was saying they were grumpy x sunshine/black cat x Golden retriver coded BUT THEY WERE NOT ACTUALLY in my humble opinion but they were easily flustered x flirting menace and Q had such salty one-liners and everybody believed he was a posh boy and do you remember when years later you had the same museum scene with Hannibal it was clearly a parallel and then there was No Time To Die and Q was officially queer oh my God oh my fucking God it was CANON he TOTALLY CANONICALLY MUST HAVE HAD A CRUSH ON BOND and we saw THE CATS and WHO WAS Q WAITING FOR?????? James must have been jealous but then the movie was what it was and a lot of people hated it and all of the fix it fics in which Bond said his last words to Q because it was always Q it will always be Q and also everybody making up names for him names were such a huge deal Q revealing his name to James in his last moments grieving fics in which James died but you also had silly ones and spicy ones uhhh a lot of those because sometimes you just need to ignore canon and see them happy and maybe both retiring or maybe they kept working flirting over the comms and annoying everyone at MI6 which wasn't exactly Avengers "Everybody Lives in The Tower" au but it was close they weren't a found family per se but some of them were very close there used to be edits on youtube yeah before TikTok came along youtube edits were A ThingTM with all those retrica-looking filters and pop songs or sad love songs and fake trailers who remembers those or like scenes edited to look like they were from a romcom and comments on the scenes written in small usually white text that were meant to reflect the character inner thoughts like "That's hot" or "He's so annoying I need to kiss him" or "BITCH" and fics in which Q was kidnapped and James went berserk and a few years ago Knives Out came out and we tried to to have Bond and Benoit Blanc related do you also remember that?
