No. Q’s sure he isn’t.

Bond plays fast and loose. Q knows it is a recipe for disaster, but still can’t bring himself to say no.

Bookmarker's Notes:

I am HERE for how @path-finder‘s fic sets up a push/pull dynamic between Q + Bond, while also digging d e e p l y into their attraction and how it might be mutually beneficial for them to partake in it. Q's combination of agency, ethical boundaries, curiosity + desire are a delightful foil for Bond. Love watching the latter stand at a very.slight.distance away, mOsTLy respectfully communicating his interest, so that when the time comes when Q truly needs what only Bond can offer, he steps up with skill, enjoyment + affection. There's the sex. And then there's what they have at the end of the first chapter which is sex surrounded by a l o v e l y complex experience that looks like it might p o s s i b l y happen again.
