Summary
Mike Stamford sets John up on a blind date. John ends up spending a lovely evening with the wrong person.
If there’s one thing Sherlock Holmes has learned, it’s that if a fit army doctor sits with him and mistakes him for his date, he’s not very well going to correct him.

Summary
He was first struck by the absolute nothingness James gave off. Not because he seemed to actively be trying to hide himself, but because Sherlock just couldn’t get a cohesive read on him.
The second thing that struck Sherlock was that he found his sister’s new boyfriend annoyingly attractive.
Or
When Beatrice brings her new boyfriend home, Sherlock has a hard time not falling for him (and fails spectacularly).

Summary
“I have the strongest urge to bite you,” is what James decides on, ever-able to be entirely unpredictable. Sherlock’s smile didn’t falter. He made a show of a mild shrug, and said:
“Well?”
“Oh careful,” a warm hand touched his neck, thumb under his jaw. “Careful,” lower, his pupils blown and entirely honed, breath soft on Sherlock’s cheeks.
There was something fixating, and equally intimidating, about James like this. At the edge of restraint.
Sherlock didn’t feel like being careful.

Modern AU. Sherlock (majored in law) and James (majored in mathematics) go to the same university. They minor in psychology and meet in lecture. They end up renting a flat together. Evelyn, Sherlock’s sister, stays over frequently. Along with her aloof boyfriend August. Naturally, they occupy Sherlock’s room for the duration, and so Sherlock sleeps in James's, where tension runs high, frequently. Increasingly. -

Summary
(Post Spectre)
A despondent James returns to England alone and finds MI6 in a dire situation, with the Quartermaster at the centre of it.
*
"Remember when I nearly lost my job in my first week because you asked me to make you disappear?” James struggled to hear him through the sounds of the crowd and the muffling of the scarf.
He tilted the corner of his mouth up, “How could I forget?”
Q continued, refusing to face James, “And how I lied to M about the smart blood-” James hummed, keeping his eyes forward- “and how I travelled by plane to personally warn you away from chasing Spectre, only for you to ask me for ‘a final favour’, which nearly got me kidnapped in a ski lift?” James did remember. He remembered hearing from Moneypenny how Q nearly got shot, too. She hadn’t been very happy about that.
“Are you finally cashing in?” he asked, the ball dropping. The theatrics were entirely unnecessary, though.
Q dipped into an alley, and James followed behind him, boxing Q away from the crowd.
“Can I trust you?” Q asked, instead of answering the question. “Can I trust you, like when you asked me to trust you, and I did, undoubtedly?”

Summary
Q examined the half-smoked cigarettes littering the ground beneath him, his eyes tracing the orange paper wrapped around perfectly round filters. Bond’s custom cigarettes had small wrinkles at the ends, giving them the expensive feel of a unique creation. He missed them, but corner store tobacco would just have to do.
“I thought I’d find you here.”
Q dragged his gaze up to look at the face of the man speaking to him. He couldn't stop his hands from shaking, but it was a cold evening.
“You started smoking again?”
“I don’t know, James. What do you think?”
“I think you have bad taste in cigarettes."

Nodus Tollens: the realization that the plot of your life doesn’t make sense to you anymore
Q's life at the technical help department of MI6 was decently quiet and paid reasonably well - it even gave him vacation time, although he rarely used it. So when Q was finally coaxed to leave work for a bit and relax, he thought that Paris might be fun.
Of course, that was before the gunfight, witnessing a shooting, and being kidnapped by a strange, blue-eyed gunman named James Bond.

Summary
Yes, this version of 007 was a terrifyingly smart agent, and M wondered long and often whether it had been a good idea to promote him to the position. Usually, the title was the dangerous part - being 007 meant deadliness - but this time, M feared that a certain man with ice-blue eyes and scruffy blonde hair had dragged in more danger to the title than it had previously possessed
Enter MI6's new Quartermaster: an unassuming, bespectacled genius with no mind for subterfuge but plenty of genius behind a dry smile. Curious 00-agents and young boffins don't always mix in predictable ways...

Summary
COMPLETE! Bond finds himself increasingly curious about his enigmatic Quartermaster.
Excerpt:
"Your prior hotel is no longer secure, I will direct you to a new location. Your luggage has already been transferred. A field agent and medic from the Diréction Générale de la Sécurité d'État will be waiting at the side entrance. I have cleared them both personally." In contrast to his crisp dry English, Q's pronunciation of the French words was fluid and flawless, the throaty tone of the fricatives sending a surprising jolt of awareness straight to Bond's cock — all the more remarkable given his degree of blood loss.
"You're wasted on Q-branch, you have the voice for a phone-sex call-in line." The words slipped out of Bond's mouth without forethought, although he had plenty of time to think in the sudden pause that came afterward and stretched on for endless moments. Bond hadn't realized until now how Q was always there, with an immediate reply. In all their banter Q had never before been at a loss for words. Ever.

Summary
The first time Bond flirted with Q, it was purely out of self-defense.
The second time Bond flirted with Q was largely manipulation.
The third time Bond flirted with Q, he just wanted to feel something.
The fourth time Bond flirted with Q was out of sheer boredom.Somehow, flirting with Q became something of a habit for Bond.
And then, it became something else.

Summary
For Q, University was just a stepping stone on his way to better things. It didn't bother him that he was years younger than everyone else, or that the height of his daily interactions was with the cafeteria lady. He didn't need friends.
Of course, all that went out the window when he nearly stepped on the boy sleeping outside his dorm room.Bookmarked by underscore_rain

Summary
The kid stilled, his eyes going sharp in a way that made James want to reach for his weapon. He remembered he didn’t have one, then remembered he was talking to a 13 year old the size of a cocker spaniel and he didn’t need a weapon anyway.
“Give me access to MI6’s computers and I could take over the world,” the boy said softly.
“Not exactly what we’re trying to accomplish, but an interesting option all the same,” James said, pursing his lips. “What’s your name?”
“Why?”
“Because, if I’m going to recruit you that’s something I’ll need to know.”
***This is the origin story of Q/James Bond's relationship had they met quite a bit sooner in their MI6 careers. It is also a continuation/expansion of Jealous Gods, but it should make sense as a stand-alone piece. It will be formatted like Jealous Gods, going back and forth between present and past. Apologies in advance for any mistakes!

Summary
There existed, and James catalogued this observation with the same precision he applied to all things, a possibility. That he might, conceivably, under certain highly specific and deeply irritating circumstances, find himself attracted to a man.
Which was absurd, naturally.
He liked women.
But Sherlock Holmes was, annoyingly, something else entirely.
