Successful Intimidation and Excessive Sarcasm (3879 words) by SixtySevenChevy
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Skyfall (2012) - Fandom, Sherlock (TV)
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.

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.
