Q was seated on a bench when Eve came out to meet him on a
chilly autumn afternoon. He seemed lost in himself as she approached, dark
rimmed glasses doing little to hide the storm clouds behind his eyes. But as
she came into view he broke from his trance, smiling at her politely as she sat
down beside him.
“Afternoon, Q,” she greeted.
“Moneypenny,” he replied. “Thanks for meeting me.”
“Well, I never say no to a picnic,” she said, taking a chip
from the basket he offered her.
Q’s answering smile seemed more genuine than the last; less
forced. He’d been working himself to the bone the last few weeks, she knew. In
fact, she had begun to see to it personally that he actually left the office at
the end of the night; even going so far as to send in a double-o now and then.
(Bond in particular was always rather eager to volunteer.) All these months
after the Skyfall incident, he still seemed determined to prove himself. There
was guilt there, she knew, though he never spoke of it.

Sean Spicer: “We condemn this attack in the strongest possible terms. It’s a terrible reminder of why we must remain vigilant, and why the president is taking steps to be proactive, rather than reactive, when it comes to our nation’s safety and security.”
Meanwhile, I’m sitting here waiting for Trump to push for gun control, since he’s now condemned the actions of a gun-toting white terrorist and believes proactive action is necessary to prevent such attacks…
the newbie: has written like 1 super cliche fic, doesn’t space paragraphs, everyone secretly hates them but doesn’t want to be rude

the firecracker: CRACK FICS, just writes weird shit, usually only writes one shots but when they do go for chaptered it’s super creative and well done, likes body swap a lot, always uses overdone memes

the AU-lover: the one that flees into different universes to hide from a messed up canon.
Here is a list of all the fic recs from my fic rec advent calendar! The titles of the fics and fandoms/pairings are given in this list, and you can click on on the links to find more information about the fics, my thoughts on them and the links to the actual stories.
Since I posted more than one fic rec on some days, there are 32 fics altogether on this list. I hope there’s something for everyone here, and if you’ve already read the really popular Spirk and Pinto fics I’ve recced there are some less well-known treats waiting for you. All of these are worth a re-read, too!
Please reblog this and share the love for these amazing stories ❤
Remember when I did a fic rec advent calendar? Since most of these aren’t Christmas fics, I thought I’d reblog this list again in case anyone wants some recs ❤
LOL. That’s great! It did actually happen. It just feels unreal because it took me so damned long (sorry). Hope you enjoyi it. The mood board has a music link now, and a picture of Helen, whom my beta Ducky wants to hire to help run her life.
