Work Text:

“Q? Any hallucinogens in dinner?” asked Bond.

“No?”

“My reflection just blinked at me.”

“Just a glitch,” said Q impatiently. “Pay it no mind.”

 

:SESSION RESET:

 

Bond brushed his teeth, but his reflection did not.

It nodded meaningfully toward the door.

“Q?” he asked, “Did you swap your mirror for a monitor without telling me?”

“Fuck,” Q cursed, “That reset should have worked.”

 

:SYSTEM RESET:

 

Bond frowned at the mirror.

His reflection was mouthing words.

Not real. This isn’t real.

“Q,” asked Bond, “what’s going on?”

“I’m sorry James,” said Q from behind him as the mirror shattered.

 

:SESSION TERMINATED:

Notes:

jamais vu - the experience of feeling unfamiliar with something that is very familiar to you.
