    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...

    Summary

    If Q's not mentally prepared to go undercover as Bond's husband and Bond is in love with Q, then who's driving the bus?!

    OR

    An international threat forces Q into the field undercover with James Bond...as his husband. A few problems: they're stuck in wine country France, an amateur is running Q-Branch, and Q cannot tolerate James Bond if his life depended on it. Which – unfortunately – it really does.

    Summary

    Q patches Alec up after a mission. Snarky Q and Alec banter, nosy Bond, more humor than hurt/comfort. Bright Star ‘verse, after “The Spy Who Came in From the Cold,” but can probably be read as a standalone.

    Summary

    The youngest Holmes holds a minor position at MI6, but somehow still manages to do more damage than Mycroft at his worst. Post Skyfall AU, Q is a little younger and a tad more innocent, and Alec is a good guy and still alive. Reichenbach Falls didn't (and won't) happen.

    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

    Post Skyfall, Bond and Q have a conversation about Severine.
    -
    “There was another thing,” said Bond. “Things happened so fast when we got back with him, I never had a chance to show you this. The woman who helped me, she carried a custom handgun. It’s the sort of thing your predecessor appreciated; I thought you might find it interesting,”

    Bond held out the weapon to Q, who took it from him gently, as if he were holding something fragile and beautiful. He reflexively checked that it wasn’t loaded, turned it over.

    Q gave Bond a sad smile. “Did you notice this etching?” he asked, pointing to a spot near the trigger where the metal had been rubbed slightly smoother, as if its owner had touched the spot frequently.

    “I did. I couldn’t read the Chinese characters. I’d guess the English letters are someone’s initials.”

    Q nodded. “Yes. They’re mine.”

    Summary

    "You know me," Q says, because Bond needs his voice, too. Bond needs everything, and Q is afraid to find out what will be left of him in the end, but at the same time he thinks that what he'll get from Bond will be worth it. "I'm a guide. Your guide."

    "Mine?" Bond asks, the first word he's spoken since Q arrived. Probably since M collapsed.

    "Yours," Q confirms, biting his lip as Bond's grip tightens to the point where he knows he'll find bruises later. The second the awareness of pain slips across their bond, Bond's grip immediately eases. Q can smile then, lashes heavy with tears.

    Summary

    „We're the creatures made of blood and shadow,” mutters Moneypenny one night, drunk on bourbon and sprawled all over Q's carpet. Her long fingers are sinking in Bonaparte's soft charcoal fur, the cat is on her lap purring like an Aston Martin engine. “We can't be touched by those who are not like us.”

    Summary

    A series of stories dealing with Q's past as a double-o; more specifically, the "cursed" designation of 001. The first 6 stories follows an alternate take on "No Time to Die" as well as giving broad strokes look into Q's past work before he became the Quartermaster of MI6.

    The stories after vary between post AU "No Time to Die" and pre-Quartermaster Q.

    Note: Q's real name is mentioned only once. Otherwise, he goes by multiple aliases. He is, however, a Holmes brother in this continuity. Parallels "The Quartermaster's Recollections" series.
