hilsI'll do my write-up of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
writerconuk soon (I had an adventure involving cows) but in the meantime here's my fic rec post for the week even though it's technically not Monday anymore
00Q (Skyfall)
High Voltage by macx
James Bond defies death on a regular basis. He comes back from the dead again and again. And each time something inside him dies. The darkness is growing and getting hungrier. Violence and blood and beautiful women, it is all an equation that can have one outcome. It is what makes him such a damned good agent.
M knew it. Then she died.
And Bond discovers that maybe, just maybe, she knew what she was doing when she gave him Q as his handler. This could be the solution, but it could also be the worst idea ever because the hunger and the need are growing and Q seems to be where his primal side, the predator he is, calms down.
Yes, it could be the solution. Or a catastrophy in the making that would tear them both to pieces.
I wasn't sure about this when I first started given the semi-AU nature of the fic but actually it worked out brilliantly. The AU aspect blend with canon perfectly and I thoroughly enjoyed this fic
In Name Only by kryptaria and bootsnblossoms
Beyond the world of BDSM clubs and fetish communities lies the Marketplace — a secret society of consensual slavery and service.
During an MI6 investigation into black market sales of Ministry of Defence assets, James Bond discovers what he believes to be a human trafficking ring called the Marketplace. He infiltrates the organisation as a buyer, but remains focused on his goal: follow the money trail.
On a private Marketplace cruise, one slave for auction catches Bond by surprise. Q is brilliant, ethereally beautiful, and vulnerable. Bond is instantly drawn to him, and he resolves to take down the Marketplace and rescue Q. What Bond doesn’t realise, though, is that Q is right where he wants to be.
These two authors always do such a fantastic job of drawing me into something that I know little about and wouldn't normally be interested in reading about. Their characterisations are so rich, and the lifestyles discussed so well that I couldn't put this one down. Great work.
