Fics like Undertow

(Post Spectre) A despondent James returns to England alone and finds MI6 in a dire situation, with the Quartermaster at the centre of it. * "Remember when I nearly lost my job in my first week because you asked me to make you disappear?” James struggled to hear him through the sounds of the crowd and the muffling of the scarf. He tilted the corner of his mouth up, “How could I forget?” Q continued, refusing to face James, “And how I lied to M about the smart blood-” James hummed, keeping his eyes forward- “and how I travelled by plane to personally warn you away from chasing Spectre, only for you to ask me for ‘a final favour’, which nearly got me kidnapped in a ski lift?” James did remember. He remembered hearing from Moneypenny how Q nearly got shot, too. She hadn’t been very happy about that. “Are you finally cashing in?” he asked, the ball dropping. The theatrics were entirely unnecessary, though. Q dipped into an alley, and James followed behind him, boxing Q away from the crowd. “Can I trust you?” Q asked, instead of answering the question. “Can I trust you, like when you asked me to trust you, and I did, undoubtedly?”
