    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

    Harold fled in shame. He was practically an old man, and he had done nothing with his life! His sister, Destroyer Yogosoth, had burned entire houses to the ground by herself. His father, Clever Belemoth, had tricked an entire human family into eating themselves. He was nothing but a burden to the Flesh Hive. Filled with self-loathing, Harold left the colony and vowed to never return.

    Or: One of Jane Prentiss' worms gains agency and a friend.

    Summary

    I've recently been unexpectedly promoted to lead a department in my organisation, wrote the anonymous emailer.

     

    As there was no one working here when I arrived, my manager, who is head of the organisation, had promised me the choice of my own assistants. However, without warning, he simply presented me with an additional assistant. This new assistant’s first act on his first day was to let a dog into the office. It took several hours to catch and clean up after this dog and it has only been downhill from there. I admit I'm not entirely sure what to do with this assistant now I'm stuck with him. I'm hoping you have some advice?

     

    Kind regards,
    New Manager
