Standalone Fics – Jen (ConsultingWriters)

consultingwriters:

This is a masterpost of all my standalone fics from the last three years! Am taking the liberty of reposting, as my posts have not been showing up for many people in fandom tags (which I’ve now fixed). Ratings and warnings vary.

Thank you so much, everybody who has been supporting me for these three years.

SO! In descending order of popularity…

Remember Me

Summary: Bond has lost his memory. Q has lost his love.

“What have I forgotten?” Bond asked; Q watched him, trying to find the James he knew.

“Nothing that you won’t work out on your own, if it’s really important,” Q said carefully, before returning every fraction of his attention to the computer in front of him.

A Programmer in Q-Branch

His name was Oliver, he was a programmer in Q branch, he had no access to classified files…

Sherlock Holmes is contacted by his elder brother. The Quartermaster of MI6 has been abducted, and Mycroft is insistent that Sherlock finds him. Sherlock, John, and a rather overzealous 00 agent, attempt to find him before Q shatters.

Beautiful Broken Creatures

Q is a hooker. James Bond is in love.

The boy is sharp in all of the right places. His spine is bent in an entrancing curve, leant against the lamp-post, shadows pooling in the indented hollows of his face. He is too-pale, the flush high on his cheekbones from the cold, lips bitten so they retain a deep fuchsia stain.

The Art of Ownership

Q is Bond’s Omega, and happily so; Omegas live in a dangerous world, however. Ownership can be won and lost far too easily.

Every Omega’s greatest fear: to be claimed, and forgotten. To belong entirely to somebody else, but cease to matter.

The Battlefield

Every year, MI6 goes through the single most stressful, highly-anticipated, important event in their calendar.

The inter-departmental paintball fight.

There was only one rule: no lasting physical harm. Beyond that, everybody went quite categorically insane over the entire affair.

Identity

Q, the Quartermaster of MI6, has dissociative identity disorder.

FAO: Q-branch

Christmas is a catalyst for relationships, including the rather tempestuous one between 007 and Q.

I appreciate that it is a few short weeks away from Christmas. However, the next person who attempts to place mistletoe in my general vicinity will find their equipment mutilated by viruses which will mysteriously survive any and all attempts to be removed, and will probably outlive your grandchildren.

The Issues of Dating a Holmes

John and Sherlock go on a double date with Q and Bond. Which really, was one of the worst ideas anybody had ever come up with in recorded history.

Confined Spaces

The recording light of the camera remains steady, constant, and Q conducts conversations with empty air.

His voice is a thin rasp. “I don’t know if you can hear this, but I think you probably can,” he muses. His throat hurts. “If it’s just going back to Chris then fine, but if you’re there, then hi.”

Q manages a small, fragile smile that doesn’t come near his eyes.

Blood and Salt

Q has lung cancer.

Never had he needed to watch anybody die like this.

First Name Terms

Bond could count the number of times Q called him by his first name on the fingers of one hand.

The Fandom has Attacked

The James Bond initiative had been created as a way of romanticising MI6. Turning failed missions into myths. Keeping ‘James Bond’ a figurehead – an idea, not a person. The legacy of MI6 without the reality.

The Skyfall incident was made into a film. And now, Q has discovered something… rather frightening.

Trigger

Q fakes his own suicide, and a devastated Bond needs to understand why.

Loving Q had been water in a storm; too much. Bond had drowned in it, more willingly than he wanted to admit, dying in Q, with Q, knowing Q was drowning with him, neither wanting to go.

Young and Beautiful

It would have been kinder, Q thinks, a long time later, if we had both died young.

And that’s the lot, guys and dolls! Hope you enjoy. Jen.

It’s Supportive Sunday!

mi6-cafe:

Supportive Sunday is a day when we encourage you to support someone in the fandom!

There are lots of ways to do that:

  • Kudos something you like
  • A short comment (”Loved this!” or “Extra kudos!”)
  • A more detailed comment (”X made me laugh out loud!”)
  • Make a rec post
  • Send a creator a short anon ask about their work! (”What inspired X?”)
  • Send a reader who’s commented a short anon ask showing your appreciation! (”Your comments make my day!”)

As part of Supportive Sundays, we’re also highlighting three randomly chosen fics and a non-written fancreation that don’t have any comments:

00Q: Dog Days, by Danger_zone24. Summary: 

James had always wanted a dog. He would’ve got one for his twelfth birthday if his parents hadn’t died and he got sent away for school. Q just might grant his wish.

Gen: Monsters in Memory, by Stormbringer. Summary: 

A familiar beast visits James Bond in the chapel at Skyfall.

Rare pair: For His Lady, by  Imagine28. Summary: He doesn’t know how to admit he might have feelings for a certain woman. [James Bond/Eve Moneypenny] 

Podfic: Trust Me With Your Heart, and I Will Give You My Bones, read by MokuK, written by SilverMirror12. Summary: Bond placed his hand on Q’s arm and began to steer him towards the exit. “Be nice. They acted more professionally than you are. By the way, are there any other debilitating health threats I should know about? Only I’d like to know who to address when I pick up my equipment, instead of asking random Q-Branch members if they’re my quartermaster for the day.” 00Q. 

Prince of the House of the Havenots

by

When MI6 is hacked, they manage to track down the source of the attack – and send their nearest agent to either contain or eliminate the threat.

James Bond often gets told that he was made 007 far too early, and has a habit of being generally hard to handle. That being said, he’s perfectly capable of assassinating threats to Queen and Country – that is, until he starts getting a bit curious about this threat…

The House of the Havenots is an organization that specializes in training killers-for-hire that no one would expect: children. They’d got one specimen, however, who is more than just a kid assassin. And his attack on MI6 might just be the start of things…

Fanwork:  

Guided by the Beauty of Our Weapons by @beaubete

Rating: 

Explicit

Word count: 38640

Summary:  

How they’re meant to play lovers when they can barely stand one another, Q will never know. He figures someone in Mallory’s office finds it funny.

Recced by: @besanii

Why it’s awesome:  

There were SO MANY FEELINGS. I spent a good week crying all over tumblr to everyone who would listen about how amazing the fic was, the brilliant writing, characterization, and the absolutely electrifying chemistry between Bond and Q. And how much Q’s perspective hurt to read in a very, very good way.

kirk/spock fake relationship recs

seepunkrun:

Oh, you know how it is, just re-reading a bunch of Kirk/Spock fake relationship fics. Here
are my favorites, all AOS, in decreasing order of how much fake relationship
there is:

The Marrying
Kind
, by spicyshimmy | Mature | 42,318 words | While on a diplomatic mission
to Delta IV, Jim flirts too much; Spock discovers the only logical solution to
avoid the complications of jealousy between ambassadors is to allow the
inference that Jim is already spoken for.

a sequence that you never
learned
, by annataylor | Explicit | 64,669 words | When Jim gets it in his
head to adopt an eight year old Vulcan, Spock presents a logical solution to the
issue of Jim’s humanity: marriage to a Vulcan citizen.

Dynamic, by coffee666 |
Explicit | 16,970 words | Jim is tired of the crew assuming he and Spock don’t
work well together just because they happen to disagree a lot. To prove them
wrong, Jim convinces Spock they should start dating. Playing up their romantic
relationship in front of the crew for spite should be fun. The hard part is that
they’re both secretly crushing on each other.

When Light Shines, by
awarrington and blue_jack | Explicit | 15,677 words | Kirk and Spock are
negotiating Federation entry with the Athosian government while the Enterprise
is away on delivery duties, when one misunderstanding leads to
another.

the warp and
weft of your being
, by tardigradeschool | Teen | 7,697 words | When getting
legally married to Spock is the only way to keep him on the ship, Jim is more
than willing to do so. (In fact, upon reflection, it turns out that there are
very few things he wouldn’t do for Spock.)

Challis, by yeaka | Teen |
3,968 words | Spock weasels into Jim’s mission via Mrennenimus Prime’s strange
traditions.

the
comfort you drew (from the light of the stars)
, by tardigradeschool | Teen |
5,331 words | When Jim agreed to pretend to be in a relationship with Spock, he
didn’t realize exactly what he was signing up for. (See: incompetent aliens and
broken bones. It’s not great, but Spock is.)

Not In Love Song, by waldorph
| Explicit | 2,779 words | The five times Spock wasn’t in love, and the one time
he couldn’t deny it anymore.

Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I’m
Yours)
, by kianspo | Teen | 10,927 words | In which Spock contemplates the
laws of attraction and realizes what a slippery slope that is only after he has
already fallen. There’s no help for him now.

What if Captain James T Kirk was the only human aboard a ship of Vulcans.

May i direct you to:

Treasures by Yeaka on AO3

“Sometimes the other Vulcans wonder how Spock managed to obtain such an exotic bondmate, and sometimes Spock wonders himself.
“ 

This is technically AOS, but it’s super AU so I don’t even know if it counts as AOS anymore. In any case, definitely fits the “Kirk as the only human on a ship of Vulcans” bill. 

Welp! I know what I’M doing when I get home

10/10 do recommend, that is an awesome fic!

Whelp.
