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...
Review: In honour of James Bond being released yesterday, here is a superb fic. It places the shark version of James from Casino Royale in the present day. Everyone is afraid to be near him but Q takes him at his challenge. While he may not always win he keeps James on his toes.
While both dangerous in different ways on film, in this they are neither able to turn off the lethal edge. While strong on film in this they are truly vicious while maintaining their people like masks.
You truly feel they more than earn each other’s respect. Their only stumble is that they both can’t get past James’ reputation.
The fic is very clever and well written. Truly worth a read from James/Q fans.
