    Summary

    In an MI6 where Dragons, Basalisks, Cerberii and all sorts of other creatures exist, Q is a lowly Level Three Fury who's innate ability to drain away the rage in others is mediocre at best. Still, he watches wistfully when the official Fury of MI6 interacts with all of the 00-agents. Sure, being the Quartermaster is probably less dangerous than dealing with the Dragons of MI6... but Q wonders if the risk would be worth the reward?

    He gets his chance to find out when a mission with 007 goes bad, and Q is stick with thirteen-stone of enraged Dragon on his hands.

    Q's got a choice: step up or step out. He can either rise to the occasion and play Fury... or play the odds of Bond going absolutely ballistic on the world at large. Either way, the fallout will be fantastic...

    Summary

    “I’m afraid some more valuable things than guns and watches are lost in the field.”

    “Such as lives?” Q offers sardonically, “Or are you talking about information? Power switching hands in the form of money, memory sticks, and hard drives, perhaps? I know them all intimately, Bond, despite what you are willing to give me credit for.”

    Summary

    Bond had never felt old until that exact moment. Staring at the smooth features and sharp eyes of his new quartermaster, he felt ancient.

    "I assure you that my competence has been well tested," the armorer said as though sensing Bond’s misgivings. "I wager I could build you a superior weapon from scratch before you could reload your current one."

    "Perhaps I should take you into the field then. I can simply discard my pistol instead of reloading it."

    "And each new pistol would be better than the last."

    Summary

    James and water have always had a difficult relationship; even putting aside the times he had nearly drowned (always an occupational hazard), there is and always will be Vesper. But he is able to forget that, forget even her, when he sees the selkie in the water.

    In which James Bond has a mission, Raoul Silva possesses something that doesn’t belong to him, and Q was never supposed to exist.
