Summary
An ambush scatters them in the wet backstreets of London. When Bond finds Q injured and cornered, he has to balance two instincts at once: keep them both alive in hostile streets, and keep Q standing when his legs threaten to give way. Between danger and rain, there’s no room for argument—only Bond’s steady hand and Q’s fragile trust.

Summary
The morning after James sleeps on Q’s sofa, something has shifted. No nightmares. No sharp edges. Just a slow return to self — and a quiet conversation about what it means to drift, and to be gently called back.

Summary
It starts with a visit. A mug of Assam. A decrypted file. A chair that's always pulled out — just slightly.
Bond is injured. Q is curious. Neither of them means to linger.But something builds between the missions and machine calibrations: a shared silence, a biscuit ritual, a presence that feels less like an intrusion and more like home.
This is a story of small gestures — tea offered, doors left unlocked, words left unsaid until they matter most.
Over time, the distance narrows. Not through declarations, but through trust. Through showing up — again and again — until even the quiet feels like something earned.Others begin to notice. A raised eyebrow from Moneypenny. A knowing look from Tanner. R catching the pattern. Even Alec — back in London — makes time to see for himself.
A slow-burn Bond/Q series of off-duty moments, unfolding in labs, rooftops, corridors… and, eventually, the living room.
With room for quiet observation, companion pieces, and the occasional inspired addition.- Words:

Summary
M held out the file in her hand and Q automatically took it.
“It needs the new Quartermaster’s signature”.
The reminder of the Major’s death, the kindly old beta who saw him for him, brought tears to his eyes, and he desperately hoped that the smoke would hide it.
“... Okay. Who do I give it to?”
“It’s quite a few years ahead of schedule, and quite frankly I’m not even sure if it’s going to work, but Boothroyd always spoke highly of you and you are one of the very few TSS workers still remaining. I’ve spoken to R, the only survivor with seniority over you, and she is quite adamant to remain in her current position with your approval... Which leaves you”.
M held out a pen.
“Quartermaster”.Or, “I don’t just have one alpha”. Q grinned, bloody and feral. “I have nine. They’re called the double-0 program; perhaps you’ve heard of them?”

Summary
Dying and coming back to life for a second time should have been more surprising. Harry Potter merely sighed in exasperation and moved on.
Death at thirty was not something he was entirely happy with, but he had lived a lot longer than he could have hoped for at fifteen years old. Waking up after was annoying, but in such a chaotic situation he could only roll with it.
Having a wizard with a whisper of Destiny about him wondering about Harry's existence in this wild new world was bad enough, but to these people he was considered a child. Nope, he was not going to be staying with them.
Harry Potter had not been a child in a very long time; he would not start acting like one now.
OR
Harry Potter crashes into the Company of Thorin Oakenshield in Goblin Town, finds out he’s now an elf-child, coming back to life after death is a fact of elf-life, Music equals Magic, and dark lords are a universal constant whenever and wherever magic is involved.
