Summary: More than anything, Mike Taylor wanted to be ordinary. Being a genius, he learned early in life, meant people expected too much. A career at the MI6 Help Desk seemed the perfect way to guarantee a lifetime of obscurity, until he got a very unusual tech support call.
Review: I love how right from the very first accidental call you can get a sense of James going “You’re useful and I’m going to keep you.” Bond was always going to be possessive and Q was always going to be strong enough to not need it but gentle enough to appreciate it anyway.
I especially love fics where Q is given respect and not treated as a silly kitten. In this he is powerful and sensible and even though it’s not his job, he can't help but be too brilliant when people need his help.
It’s a clever, well written plot with a lot of chemistry between our favourite couple.
