I think we all forget that Bond is the quiet one and Q is the loudmouth. Sure, Bond is so suave and cool and sexy and charismatic- that’s his whole deal- but rarely does he make small talk or chat. Because everything he does is for a goal or super-objective, so the lad really doesn’t do a lot of pointless talking.

Q on the other hand? Oh he natters. He nitpicks. He loves some good rapport. He makes awful jokes and banters and asks waiters their favorite meal. He doesn’t do it with any charisma whatsoever but he likes chatting.

This gives you two wonderful things:

1. Bond and Q grabbing coffee, Q flapping his hands around and explaining some new thing. Maybe the latest book he’s finished, maybe his new project, maybe the newest opera vinyl he’s been playing for them while he cooks spaghetti. Bond watching him with that smarmy little smile that says he’s enamored with the strange guy in front of him and proud to be sat with him. Cocking his head to listen as Q starts in on a new topic. And Q doesn’t worry that he’s talking too much because Bond is taking everything in, adding the occasional helpful observation or little question.

Q’s never felt so valued and Bond’s never felt so comfortable.

On the other hand:

2. Q’s incessant chatter and banter often head to Bond needing to find new ways to get him to stop bickering. These include a soft hand in his hair that suddenly turns to a pull, a lazy finger along the inside of his thigh at the dinner table, a hand squeezing all the way around his wrist with just enough pressure, his tie being straightened–yanked. Little habits that make Q stop in his tracks and reevaluate what he was saying or … decide that he could be doing something else instead of talking.

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.

ARENA MODE CHARACTERS PROPAGANDA!!💥💥

[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.

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.
