    Summary

    Essek thought he knew the meaning of devotion, but watching Caleb he has now come to understand it. He sees it in the way Caleb operates, in every decision he makes. A clear devotion to his goals and his people and his passions.

    When did Essek begin to feel it himself?

    For decades Essek has danced with false devotion. False devotion to the Queen, to the Luxon, to his country. Yet, he is beginning to feel that the King of the Empire, Caleb Widogast, is a man he could dedicate a devout devotion to.

    Summary

    And so sometimes, his mind buzzing away, bright and brilliant and humming with pure expansive energy, Charles speaks without thinking at all. Without censoring himself. Without realizing that his brain has reached out and snatched something that was never his to know, or take...

    Summary

    “I bet you can’t name five things that make me an attractive option.” Q cocks his head, as if considering Bond. “We can’t all seduce our way to as long a trail of broken lovers as you. Even at your advanced age.”

    Q thinks Bond is incapable of actually being offended, hence why he feels safe to throw aspersions his way. Indeed, Bond’s eyes register surprise, then they crinkle in amusement.

    “I bet you I can name six.”

    “Hmm?”

    “Six reasons why our dear Quartermaster is a catch. Number one, you’re incredibly charming.”

    +

    Or, what if Bond crashes Q’s date that night and never bloody leaves. A slow burn following NTTD and beyond, including Bond and Q discovering what they want in life and how to be the kind of people that can hold onto it.
