Summary
Q is surprised. Q has not known him very long, and this is maybe James’ favourite thing about him: he persists in being surprised.

sorta has a note of the Q takes Bond for granted by accident & has to woo him back, tho not fully
----
Q is terrified of airplanes, hates operating in crowds and prefers to be enthroned in his basement, but he is lethal, and not in the abstract, distant, naïve way he probably was as a teenage hacker. Q understands the same violence that James does, but with a thousand times the intellect (and a lot less physical prowess). Q knows his own worth and will stand to it; he’s beautiful and sinuous and sharp and utterly brilliant and fiercely independent; fiercely everything, anything, really, beneath the mild manners. Q is helplessly honest, utterly open and sincere, for reasons and in ways James doesn’t know at all and doubts he could comprehend.
--
Q appropriates the car and makes James take a cab home, because apparently a martini, nine glasses of wine and two of cognac are too much to drive. James argues that an acceptable level of inebriation for driving (and shooting, flying, gambling, parasailing, breaking and entering…) on mission should leave him more than capable at home. Q points out that 007 has no ‘acceptable level of inebriation’ on the job, and instead does almost anything regardless of any state of incapacity. Bond points out that he’d never get too drunk to do his job. Q suggests that this is only because he’s mostly too alcoholic to feel the effects. Bond suggests that this means he’s perfectly capable of driving home.Bond is right, but Q wins anyway.
--
At quarter to nine, he takes Italian delivery on the street corner two blocks away out of over-cautious habit—anyone who knows what he looks like already knows he works for Six, so there’s very little point to the minor misdirection—and only very slightly limps down to Q Branch.Q is busy. James follows him around the room with an open foam bowl of bolognaise, nudging it into place on every work surface he occupies until Q gives up and types—and, at one point, solders—one-handed, freeing the other for flimsy plastic cutlery. James steals his rolling chair and more or less continues to trail him round the room, interjecting with variant degrees of helpfulness: around 9:30, 002 has no idea which Eritrean border crossings are unmanned and with Q’s mouth full and database-trawling down a hand, Bond’s memory manages to beat him to an answer. The lasagne’s good, for takeout.
--
With the fact that—007 isn’t on the job. He isn’t working to an objective. And perhaps it’s not fair, Q thinks, to make assumptions about James’s actions based on his knowledge of 007.It’s possible, he concludes, that he’s well and truly cocked this up.
--
Q gets the sense that all Bond’s ice and tailored motion is built around something that would crawl in under Q’s skin and take him apart to love each muscle and each bone, and never realise ‘til too late that that a lover had become a spread of gore.

Summary
“We’re an intelligence agency, not a brothel,” says Tanner, mildly. “I’m simply pointing out your options.”
“Thank you. I think I’ll decide my options for myself.”
---
In which James Bond wants nobody else but Q, not even if it will make his job easier.

Summary
"You are a bad liar", Bond says and Q can't help but laugh. It's hollow even to his own ears.
"You'll find I'm an excellent one, if the need arises"
______
When Bond has to decide his faith on Westminster Bridge he thinks that, with Oberhauser at his feet, he finally has a shot at a happy ending. But just as he turns to ride into the sunset with Madeline, Q collapses on the other side of the bridge.
And whatever end Bond has imagined, it turns out that this is just the beginning ...
______
Post-Spectre fic, where I attempt to explain away all the plot holes that have been bothering me since Skyfall. Get ready for Qs back-story, intrigue and suspense, actually quite a bit of fluff and cats, total MI6 squad goals, Oberhauser being a little shit, a very parental Tanner and a mystery guest appearance.

Summary
As far as long-term missions go, Alec hadn't really been gone that long. But upon returning to London, he finds a changed MI6 that's been through hell... and a James Bond that's gone and abandoned his very reason for remaining loyal to a country he had always been ambivalent about.
The new Quartermaster's nice though.

Summary
For nearly two years, James Bond and Q share a camaraderie that skirts the boundary between friends, colleagues and something more ephemeral that neither one of them will name because they’re both resolved to be cowards about it. At the end of it all, Bond drives away in the world’s most beautiful car with a lovely woman.
And well, that’s that, isn’t it?
That’s not it. That’s only the bloody start of it.
-----
In which Q faces repercussions after James Bond's abrupt departure, and has to pick up the pieces of himself.

Summary
"It is the star to every wandering bark" ~ Shakespeare, Sonnet 116
A series revolving around Q, in which Q is the "ever-fixed mark" that guides those around him.
Not in chronological order.
This series ended up being mostly one-shots ranging in time from before Q’s birth through to Spectre, and then AU from near the end of the film.
Basically, Q, aka "chaos child" and "disaster spawn," was raised by a family of former assassins.

Summary
“You want me to what, Sir?”
As clearly as he’s heard the instructions, Q can’t be sure he isn’t dreaming this entire conversation. Between the agents creating more work for him out in the field and the engineers in his department demanding more of his time than usual, it’s already been a terribly long day, though it’s only noon.
And now, well. What Mallory is suggesting may well be a dream for all its absurdity.
“I’m scheduling you to take the field tests.”
-----
When Q is forced to prove he can survive in the field, James Bond plays the (concerned) menace.
