Childhood Friends AU Part 3

opalescentgold:

Part 1. Part 2. 

James isn’t Q. He isn’t cautious or methodical, capable of weighing up a dozen alternatives and evaluating each by their numerical value. No, James is reckless and lives for the rush of adrenaline and the roar of his heartbeat. 

For all that he’s a spy, a solider, James has always been all or nothing. He’s uninterested in half-hearted ventures, in anything so mundane as trying. What he wants, he pursues. He’s more open with his heart than Q ever was. 

(In this universe, after all, James hasn’t yet met Vesper.) 

It’s always been this way. Only, usually, Q is the one who comes up with the plan that James then fuels with his actions. But Q is oblivious, unknowing, and James is in love for all of two days before he can’t handle it.

‘There’s a

No one is talking about the fact that this man Connor stood in front of Hank making direct eye contact and said “I’m whatever you want me to be Lieutenant” as if that wasn’t the gayest thing I’ve ever heard with my own two ears

in a chapter named “partners“, you have the option to booze up hank in a bar filled with nothing but guys while two dudes are hooking up in the men’s restroom for what’s implied to be the umpteenth time like. bruh. no one can convince me this game isn’t gay as all get out

hot take: it’s actually a gay bar
