When the Sky Falls
Random note: So it's been... A long while, since I posted any fic. A very long while. But for however many people here would still like to read something of mine, I've spend the past few months frantically writing with a new RP partner, Only_1_Truth, who has so many amazing James Bond/Q fics already to her name. We've finally just about finished the monster we've been obsessing over working on, so now we're posting!
~When the Sky Falls~

Summary:
Quint hates planes. Quint really, really hates planes. But with MI6 hunting him down, he hasn't got much of a choice but to get on one. He should've known better. He really should've known better.
In which there is a plane crash, a deserted island, accidental minions, a lot of miscommunication, sleepwalking (sort of), a very creepy Silva and more.
Finished work, updates twice a week.
Author's Note:
Most of this was written by way of frantically typing at each other (occasionally without even letting the other one finish) and lots of enthusiastic yelling over chat. There was a lot of getting up absurdly early in the mornings (Only_1_Truth) and staying up way past bedtimes (ginnyvos), a lot of unplotted plot-twists, stealth writing during work hours, some very questionable google-searches and general addiction and preoccupation. Also mayhem.
This monster is the result of that. Bond and Silva are all Only_1_Truth, and Q is all ginnyvos (even though, sad as we are to admit this, we own none of these characters). Sam and the minions are ginnyvos' babies, but occasionally borrowed by Only_1_Truth, who had to admit that maybe they weren't so bad... For OC's.
We sincerely hope you enjoy reading this monster as much as we enjoyed writing it, and we hope that you won't be as ready to go after us with pitchforks for the occasional cliffhanger as we did with each other. Also, ginnyvos takes no responsibility if after this, you will never be able to look at sandcastles the same way again. That's all Only_1_Truth's fault!
Complete work (as far as we've posted so far)
Prologue, in which Bond is buying people drinks when he really shouldn't, and Q really should've known better than to get on board of a bloody plane.
Chapter 1, in which someone has to do something, and also, Q really should've known better.... We also get unexpected heroes, unexpected trouble, and the general panic that comes from dealing with a wrecked plane + injured/scared people. Good thing Q's stuck right in the middle of it.
Chapter 2, in which there are pop-culture references running rampant (gotta catch 'em all...), Bond does a very good impression of a lug and competence is sexy, but Quint is not so easily seduced. Also, more badassery.
