Summary
Q examined the half-smoked cigarettes littering the ground beneath him, his eyes tracing the orange paper wrapped around perfectly round filters. Bond’s custom cigarettes had small wrinkles at the ends, giving them the expensive feel of a unique creation. He missed them, but corner store tobacco would just have to do.
“I thought I’d find you here.”
Q dragged his gaze up to look at the face of the man speaking to him. He couldn't stop his hands from shaking, but it was a cold evening.
“You started smoking again?”
“I don’t know, James. What do you think?”
“I think you have bad taste in cigarettes."

Summary
(Post Spectre)
A despondent James returns to England alone and finds MI6 in a dire situation, with the Quartermaster at the centre of it.
*
"Remember when I nearly lost my job in my first week because you asked me to make you disappear?” James struggled to hear him through the sounds of the crowd and the muffling of the scarf.
He tilted the corner of his mouth up, “How could I forget?”
Q continued, refusing to face James, “And how I lied to M about the smart blood-” James hummed, keeping his eyes forward- “and how I travelled by plane to personally warn you away from chasing Spectre, only for you to ask me for ‘a final favour’, which nearly got me kidnapped in a ski lift?” James did remember. He remembered hearing from Moneypenny how Q nearly got shot, too. She hadn’t been very happy about that.
“Are you finally cashing in?” he asked, the ball dropping. The theatrics were entirely unnecessary, though.
Q dipped into an alley, and James followed behind him, boxing Q away from the crowd.
“Can I trust you?” Q asked, instead of answering the question. “Can I trust you, like when you asked me to trust you, and I did, undoubtedly?”

Summary
Technically Q's name and personal details are classified and beyond the purview of field agents, but he's worked for Q branch for ten years and had gone by his actual name for eight of them. His identity is as much of a "secret" as his ineptitude at filing financial reports.

Summary
Something that always seemed to surprise people about Q was that he was an inveterate voyeur. Q had never quite understood the surprise. After all, anyone who could reasonably claim to know him, either knew that he worked in intelligence, or knew him to be a hacker and information broker—two occupations which surely were self-evidently masturbation fuel for any serious voyeur.
Q's life is finally where he wants it to be. His work is fine, his cats are fine, he's rekindling his relationship with his wacko ex and having some really strange cybersex. Bond, after a year of reintegrating into MI6 since he came back from his hiatus, has decided that now was the perfect time to confess his feelings. Obviously that would be very nice, Q would be lying to himself if he said he'd not held a small flame for the man, but the timing is extremely convenient. It would be easier for the both of them were it not.
