Summary:

In retrospect, the whole thing was a series of extremely poor decisions on Q’s part, none of which he regretted in the slightest.
Or, AU in which IT-techie!Q is chatted up by one James Bond and doesn’t have the heart to tell him that he’s also MI6.

Gods, this was good. Another fave to add to the pile. So many good fics in 00Q fandom. Soooo many.

I’ve put it into your schedule and, hopefully, it’ll be a nice, casual lunch date with the possibility of dinner later. I’ll send a car around because I won’t have you late or lost on the Tube. Again.”
Q thought of protesting, reminded himself of just who he was talking to, and quickly deflated.
“Fine,” he finally grumbled. “But when it ends in disaster I’m free for the rest of the weekend. No meddling allowed for at least a week.”
“Deal.” Moneypenny thankfully agreed.

Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: James Bond/Q
Characters: James Bond, Q (Bond - Craig movies), Mycroft Holmes, assorted 00s who i just made up because i know nothing
Summary: Everyone in MI6 is terrified of Mycroft Holmes. To be anything else is be to be foolhardy and overconfident, two characteristics that mark a poor agent and will invariably lead to an early grave. Mycroft Holmes possesses more power than the entire rest of Great Britain put together and has a condescending smile that speaks of an ability to use said power for very nefarious purposes. No one in his or her right mind is willing to go within ten feet of him, lest they somehow incur his wrath.
Except, of course, Q, who is most certainly not afraid and instead exchanges quips and insults as though he's not ten seconds away from being killed by the man no one seems to know is his brother. Mycroft is exasperated, Bond is intrigued (read: attracted) and Q is just so done with everyone in this building.

This was fun lol. Rereadable imo.

Summary:

Q thinks he can't imagine anything worse than three days at a conference with James Bond as his bodyguard. Bond thinks that's showing a lack of imagination. He may be right.

Or, the one where Q has a long-standing arrangement, Bond condescends to croissants and tablecloths, unresolved issues abound, and then actual serious stuff happens. Post-Spectre.

Summary:

"I should let you know that MI6 is not in the habit of ceding to terrorists," Q tells him with chilly poise. "But it is after hours, and this is at least a halfway decent kidnapping."
Bond's answering hum of amusement resonates and mingles with the sound of the revving engine.

This was so good. Definitely a fave.
