Summary
Once upon a time, James confessed that he liked it: the bantering, the bickering, the quarrelling, the squabbling. Q tended to agree. He still does. He loves it, in fact: the ceaseless banter, a spot of bickering, the occasional quarrel or squabble. He loves it dearly. He loves it as much as he hates a proper row, which is certainly what this is now.
Six times that James and Q have a full-blown fight, or: five times the cats took sides, and one time they didn’t.

The Hunt for the London Guide by house_of_lantis
Fandoms: James Bond (Craig Movies), The Sentinel (TV)
11 Nov 2025
Tags
Summary
In a world where Sentinels are humanity’s genetically heightened protectors and Guides are the empaths who balance them, James Bond, 007, stands as the Alpha Sentinel of London, powerful, disciplined, and dangerously unanchored after years without a bond. His perfect counterbalance has been beside him all along: Q, the brilliant but reclusive Quartermaster, whose sarcasm conceals his true nature as Edmund Montgomery, a Neural Architect-class Guide capable of harmonizing an entire city’s psionic network.
Years ago, Edmund survived a forced-bond attempt by Raoul Silva, a rogue Sentinel serving SPECTRE, leaving him scarred and in hiding. When Silva resurfaces to hunt the mysterious “London Guide,” Bond and Q are thrust into an alliance that tests every boundary of loyalty and control. Together, they must face Silva, stop a psionic war that threatens to consume the city, and confront what it truly means to trust.

Summary
It was all Moneypenny’s fault. She’d insisted it would be ‘just a few people, just for a couple of hours’. Bond, still numb from Skyfall and the funeral, had failed to turn down her frankly unneeded attempt to do… what, cheer him up?
Now he was tucked into the corner with his glass of safely flammable substance and watched people nursing their drinks, pretending politely that they:
a) were not cold, and
b) didn’t fiercely wish to be somewhere else: ideally, in their own homes, attending to their own lives.Series

Last of His Knights by marlovingian

Summary
After finding missing and inconsistent files, Q finds himself tracking down the secrets and origin of the mysterious agent 007, which is complicated by the fact that he's falling in love.
~
—The last thing the King said to me was, ‘Thou art a true knight. Keep faith. Keep to the code’.
Thou shalt not tell a falsehood: that was the first to go.
Keep the faith: that was next.
Over the years, every part of the code has come into conflict with every other part. Shall I keep my faith or shall I keep from telling falsehoods?
In the end, I had to choose only one tenet that would remain sacred. Because the true question that every knight one day has to face is whether he will keep the code or serve his country.
He lived and died and sleeps in stone by the code. He never doubted, never lied.
He never had to.

Summary
Most would agree that a secret agent and quratermaster working for MI6 are not the best vocations for ones adopting a child. However Eggsy Unwin's current status leaves them little choice but to take the risk and bring him into their lives. Almost without them realizing it they become a family in the true sense and somehow manage to keep the world safe at the same time.
Inspired by the one shots in 10,000 Tomorrows *Final Pairing is Harry/Eggsy/Merlin*

Summary
COMPLETE! Bond finds himself increasingly curious about his enigmatic Quartermaster.
Excerpt:
"Your prior hotel is no longer secure, I will direct you to a new location. Your luggage has already been transferred. A field agent and medic from the Diréction Générale de la Sécurité d'État will be waiting at the side entrance. I have cleared them both personally." In contrast to his crisp dry English, Q's pronunciation of the French words was fluid and flawless, the throaty tone of the fricatives sending a surprising jolt of awareness straight to Bond's cock — all the more remarkable given his degree of blood loss.
"You're wasted on Q-branch, you have the voice for a phone-sex call-in line." The words slipped out of Bond's mouth without forethought, although he had plenty of time to think in the sudden pause that came afterward and stretched on for endless moments. Bond hadn't realized until now how Q was always there, with an immediate reply. In all their banter Q had never before been at a loss for words. Ever.

Q considered Bond, the impact of his grandfather, a man he had barely known, clear on the agent's face.

Summary
“You’re not 007,” says the henchman, clad tip-to-toe in black, head cocked in confusion.
“Unfortunately, I am,” says Q. “And believe me, I’m much more put out by it than you are.”
When James Bond goes missing and is presumed dead yet again, the only person MI6 deems suitable to take his place is the man responsible for planning all of his outstanding missions: Q. Entirely against his will, Q finds himself thrown into active service as the new 007. Much to everyone's surprise, not least Q's, he turns out to be a natural. He might even be a better 007 than Bond ever was.
And Bond's not going to stand for that.

Summary
“Am I sacked?”
M doesn’t bother answering James’ attempt at humor but instead continues in his point. “Since your return from the Skyfall operation, which was over a year ago I might add, you have not taken one day of leave, no holiday of which I'm aware. You haven’t rested the requisite 48 hour period between mission and report.”
James takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly.
“You are not a young man,” M says plainly. “Everyone, even James Bond, needs time to let wounds heal, both physical and mental. Pushing yourself is going to get you or someone else killed eventually.”
“So not another mission then?” James asks and moves to stand.
**
Or, James Bond is forced to take a few days off, runs into Q at a kebab shop, starts playing World of Warcraft, and takes a trip to Witney to meet Q's family (for reasons of national security, of course).

Summary
The first time Bond flirted with Q, it was purely out of self-defense.
The second time Bond flirted with Q was largely manipulation.
The third time Bond flirted with Q, he just wanted to feel something.
The fourth time Bond flirted with Q was out of sheer boredom.Somehow, flirting with Q became something of a habit for Bond.
And then, it became something else.

Summary
“Looking good, 007.”
The compliment halts Bond in his tracks. It’s not Moneypenny’s sultry voice in his ear. Nor is it Tanner’s, with its warm, friendly professionalism.
Bond searches around the exterior of the hotel for cameras. One glints at him from above the entrance, reflecting the day’s sunlight back at him. It’s a hot summer afternoon in Dubrovnik, and he doesn’t have plans to kill anyone until at least tomorrow.
All in all, it’s a terrific day to be called good-looking, especially by his Quartermaster.
---
Q likes giving Bond compliments, but there seems to be a catch.

Alley-Cat Quartermaster by Only_1_Truth for MinMu

Summary
This all started with a conversation with my Queen of Plotbunnies and Paladin of Writer's-Block Slaying, MinMu: So many fics include Bond breaking into Q's flat. What if it was the other way around?
Summary: After the death of M, everything is in shambles. MI6 is trying to stay afloat and not let its enemies scent blood in the water; the new Quartermaster is orchestrating a flurry of activity to keep his branch at pique efficiency and therefore his agents alive; 007, the agent hit hardest by the death of the old M, is going through the motions and throwing himself into his work.
Everyone is a little bit broken, and a lot exhausted.
So when Bond and Q end up together in unexpected circumstances, perhaps the outcome should not be so unexpected...
