#bond fandom

Hello there! It was an incredible piece, I feel like you captured Bond so well in it, including in his posture and his expression (and as noted in the tags, I really loved the colors!) Linking it again here for folks who haven't seen it yet.

I'm a fic writer myself (mostly 00q and glass onion/knives out), but I am so in awe of visual artists and the ways you all express your creativity and communicate stories so powerfully. Thank you for sharing with us!

And yessss I am completely on board the 00q train bloody big ship. This is a great fandom for batting around headcanons and thoughts, and I would love to hear yours! My DMs are open (and I think we're mutuals as well) as are my asks, anytime! 😁

Mr Q's Series of Misfortunes

Bond Fandom Highlights of 2019

We asked you in our end of year survey to share any fun fandom moments or highlights from this past year and we loved reading them! We wanted to share a couple here for everyone to read. 

And if you have your own, please reblog and share!

I loved racing  Boffin and Christine to see who could leave the most comments during 007 fest. I'd catch up every night and then wake up to see they had surpassed me again.

I actually managed to finish and post a fic

Meeting new people and getting to know everyone better! And coming up with cracky AUs in the slack.

Bond, surprisingly, was enjoying the black-tie state function despite being there solely as Q’s bodyguard. Eve, acting as M’s bodyguard and date for the evening, had secured them a table out of the way but close enough to the open bar that there was a continuous supply of liquor (though not enough to impede their senses). Once the required schmoozing had been taken care of, the foursome found themselves actually enjoying each others’ company.

Halfway through the evening, Bond returned with another round of drinks to find M sitting alone at the table.

“Sir?”

M nodded to the dance floor as Bond set their drinks down.

Following his gaze, Bond turned to see Q gracefully leading Eve around the dance floor in a slow waltz, his grin almost as bright as the light that reflected from the sequins of her dress. Eve threw her head back in laughter as she missed a step but Q expertly adjusted his feet and continued their smooth arc across the room, the line of his shoulders and gentle arch of his back never changing even as he turned his head closer to center and winked at her.

Bond had always admired the long, graceful lines of Q’s lithe figure, but taking in the delicate control in Q’s posture, he finally recognized his body as the dancer’s form it was.

“Lovely, isn’t she?” M took another sip of scotch as he watched his subordinates, a knowing smirk across his face.
