Summary
It starts with a visit. A mug of Assam. A decrypted file. A chair that's always pulled out — just slightly.
Bond is injured. Q is curious. Neither of them means to linger.But something builds between the missions and machine calibrations: a shared silence, a biscuit ritual, a presence that feels less like an intrusion and more like home.
This is a story of small gestures — tea offered, doors left unlocked, words left unsaid until they matter most.
Over time, the distance narrows. Not through declarations, but through trust. Through showing up — again and again — until even the quiet feels like something earned.Others begin to notice. A raised eyebrow from Moneypenny. A knowing look from Tanner. R catching the pattern. Even Alec — back in London — makes time to see for himself.
A slow-burn Bond/Q series of off-duty moments, unfolding in labs, rooftops, corridors… and, eventually, the living room.
With room for quiet observation, companion pieces, and the occasional inspired addition.- Words:

Summary
Mycroft Holmes is a successful, yet reclusive, mystery writer whose books have topped bestseller lists for years. Mycroft’s agent, Anthea, nearly had to resort to torture to persuade the writer to allow a studio the rights to film one of his books and he only agreed after a section was added to the contract that gave him final say on the choice of actors to play the detective in his novel. The studio wants the highly profitable and extremely sexy Greg Lestrade for the role, but Mycroft isn’t happy with the choice, since Greg’s films don't fit the more cerebral tone of the novel being filmed.
Greg, however, is desperate for the role, as he’s wanted to break out of the pigeonhole he’s been confined to, acting wise, and truly get the chance to show his skills as a serious actor. The studio finally pulls Greg from a publicity tour for his latest film and sends him to Mycroft’s remote country home to do some persuading. Once there, after getting to know the secretive, brilliant and slightly-eccentric Mycroft Holmes, Greg isn’t certain which ranks higher on his persuading list - him getting a role he dearly wants or him getting a man he dearly wants. One of those however, might be winning by a nose…
