Summary
He imagines every now and then that this, perhaps, this is what he likes best about Gareth Mallory. They are both weapons in their own individual ways, questions of life and death reduced to a single alphabet, and Q has always had thing for ruthlessly competent bastards anyway.
Or: A story about crushes, semi-drunken confessions, and gunfire somewhere along the way.

Summary
Bond rolls forward, although his usual liquidly graceful movements are stiff from his injuries. Q doesn’t startle, too used to Bond’s antics over months of travelling together, although his breath does hitch when Bond sweeps his fingers under Q's glasses, brushing lightly against the dark bruises Q knows are still there.
"Think of this as a vacation,” Bond says. “You haven't stopped at all since we left London."
"A vacation," Q says incredulously. "With the scorching sun and questionable water and unreliable food supplies and a heightened chance of tropical water-borne diseases, and all my equipment sunk in the ocean."
“With the briny air and an abundance of wild and sea life and limitless possibilities," Bond counters, "without alerts or surveillance or the need to stare at a glowing screen for hours on end.”
(Post-Spectre mission fic, where the mission is to survive being stranded on a desert island, and shutting down Spectre's operations is a critical but secondary objective reserved for after they get off the island.
But when did MI6's missions ever run according to plan?)

Summary
James comes back after Spectre to find Q doing sketchy experiments in the lab late at night.
Complications abound as they try to figure out how in the world to navigate the challenges of being MI6's genius but commitment phobic quartermaster with the dangers that surround the Queen's deadliest but absolutely smitten double 0 agent.
And this is a horrible summary, because clearly I've written a lot of words and it's about a whole lot more then what I've written above.

Bookmark Notes:
Bond’s body was coin he expended for any number of causes—occasionally even using it to buy a dark and pleasurable vacuum for his head, the way he used drink—and he had, even since Madeleine, spent it out, but nevertheless, that brief point of contact threatened to dismantle him. The closest comparison he had was Moneypenny shaving away his stubble in the semi-dark of his hotel room and, of course, Q didn’t have a razor in his hand. He felt the weight of the tiny wound garrote in his pocket and the world broke into lines and vectors again, a grid that mapped out the impact of physical force on points of impact. A biography.
--
Bond adjusted his cuffs. He didn’t want to talk. He felt as dual-purposed as one of Q’s machines, but the more ordinary use of him felt unnatural: an exploding watch forced to tell time or a garrote retrained into its key-fob shape. But Q waited with a seemingly limitless reserve of patience. Bond thought, apropos of nothing, that Q, too, had gotten older.
--
“Does M know?”
“Facts about soldiers in wartime? I would imagine.”
“That you’re prioritizing non-lethal items,” Bond said slowly.
--
“I’m only giving you options. Drops of water in a desert. I haven’t jammed your gun. But it seems absurd to expect you to be this—soulless machine. When you’re not. And it costs.”
--
He turned on his earpiece on the beach after that and put his feet in the surf. Said nothing, but walked quietly along the coastline so Q, also silent, could hear the dim roar of the ocean. His head felt clear but not sharp-edged, like he was able to be at home in it.
It occurred to him that he could try contacting Madeleine again. Q would be able to find her, even if Bond suspected he wouldn’t want to. But somehow he never asked. An oasis was small compared to the ocean and she had not, after all, given him this.

Back in 2015 I posted about this fic on the bird app: "Melancholy, brutal, beautiful, witty & wise." Yeah, that about sums it up.

Pay no attention to this, this info is here just so I know what was here if it is ever deleted from AO3. Author omitted in case the author ever changes their name or orphans the work.

Summary
How to Retire 101: Spy Edition. Bond doesn’t know how to make retirement stick, so he asks Q, who knows a few retired spies and might know the secret formula. Bright Star ‘verse, but probably can be read alone.
Q texted his father:
‘Incoming: Brooding, angst-filled agent at loose ends. Prepare end-of-career lecture and PowerPoint slides.’
‘Bond?’
‘Obviously.’
‘I’m sure the sarcasm helps with the brooding and the angst.’
‘I don’t know what you’re talking about. Of course it helps. He even cracked a smile. I’ll admit that it was possibly an involuntary facial spasm, but I’m classifying it as a smile.’
