Adapted to survive.

I'm also looking to get my trio of AU shapeshifters off the ground over at wildagents. These are fandom-based Q, James Bond, and Alec Trevelyan from the James Bond franchise. Seeing as they're based primarily on fandom representations of the characters, they may seem a bit off from the movies. And seeing as they're shapeshifters, they're definitely going to be different. But if that doesn't scare you off, there is a section on their blog explaining how their shapeshifting works. Most of their threads end up being about espionage (to the surprise of no one) or angst of some kind. But like with Danny, I am not opposed to seeing them happy, too.

//Okay, guys, my laptop has officially had it and will only connect to the internet for like maybe 20 minutes at a time if I'm lucky. And I need that for job hunting. So. All blogging is going to be done on mobile from this point until I can do something about it. Just as a heads up.

“Q.  What can I do for you?” he said with a cordial smile.

“I do believe you have some tech that I’d like back, if you would be so kind.”

And that was so far outside his normal character that Q was never going to believe it. James was great in the field, able to pretend he was very nearly anything he needed to be. Apparently he was a bit rusty on the home front. He'd have to fix that. It would cause him too much damn paperwork if he didn't. Then again, if he developed a backlog of paperwork, he could always just encourage Alec to do something stupid that would result in both their desks being set alight. Again.

“Well, I’ll hazard I can do more damage on my laptop sitting in my pajamas before my first cup of Earl Grey than you can do in a year in the field.” {Skyfall 2012, dir. Sam Mendes}

More of Q. I live for his sass.

           “ Bond - I won’t call in sick, I don’t call in sick. I’m not sick, and I’m going to do my job,       Bond,   I like my job. And I’m not certain where you got the idea from that it’d be alright to boss me around in my own home, but this stops right now. Either stop pretending that you have any say about my decisions or my security system will make you leave, and I promise that it won’t care if it shoots an idiot man or an idiot cat. Your pick. ”

He stood his ground, watching Q, waiting for the man to give in to logic.  James knew he would.  Eventually.  It just make take some more reasoning with him.

“Q!  I know you’ve missed me,” James greeted as he walked into the room, waving insolently at the younger man.  He was certain Q would be angry at him.  This was the third mission he had come back from without all of the gear he had been assigned.  But he could always use the fact that he had one arm in a sling to his advantage should he need to.
