Summary
He thinks he’s done a good job, all told. Certainly he’s always tried. He’s saved more lives than he could ever count, and what an honour it’s been.
However, as he traces familiar names precisely chiselled into the memorial wall, he finds it easier to recall his failures.

Summary
“I bet you can’t name five things that make me an attractive option.” Q cocks his head, as if considering Bond. “We can’t all seduce our way to as long a trail of broken lovers as you. Even at your advanced age.”
Q thinks Bond is incapable of actually being offended, hence why he feels safe to throw aspersions his way. Indeed, Bond’s eyes register surprise, then they crinkle in amusement.
“I bet you I can name six.”
“Hmm?”
“Six reasons why our dear Quartermaster is a catch. Number one, you’re incredibly charming.”

Or, what if Bond crashes Q’s date that night and never bloody leaves. A slow burn following NTTD and beyond, including Bond and Q discovering what they want in life and how to be the kind of people that can hold onto it.

Summary
“I don’t want to sleep with you, Madeleine.”
She gives him a soft laugh. “Good. I don’t want to sleep with you either, Q.” She tilts her head, and Q can see her considering whether to continue. “But James does, and I think it’s mutual.”
+

Summary
Bond hangs back to watch Q, allowing a fond smile from this safe distance. Q’s shifting files and unidentifiable parts about his workspace and into the bag on his lap, seemingly done for the day, as he rants at the rather indifferent audience of the two odd cats bookending him on either side of the desk.
+
Q is having a bit of a day, and Bond finds himself capable of making it brighter.

Summary
“Maman has a late clinic today and Dad had to stay at work, so you’ve got to put up with Papa instead,” Mathilde informs Alison, primly recounting that morning’s breakfast conversation between the adults with the perfect recall and lack of filter unique to small children.
Alison bites her lip as she fights a laugh. She leans in confidentially towards Mathilde. “Well, we’ll manage, won’t we.”
Mathilde peers up at Bond and gives Alison a dubious hum in reply.
+
When Bond volunteers to help Mathilde’s ballet class prepare for a show, he gets more than he bargained for.
