Summary
It starts with a visit. A mug of Assam. A decrypted file. A chair that's always pulled out — just slightly.
Bond is injured. Q is curious. Neither of them means to linger.But something builds between the missions and machine calibrations: a shared silence, a biscuit ritual, a presence that feels less like an intrusion and more like home.
This is a story of small gestures — tea offered, doors left unlocked, words left unsaid until they matter most.
Over time, the distance narrows. Not through declarations, but through trust. Through showing up — again and again — until even the quiet feels like something earned.Others begin to notice. A raised eyebrow from Moneypenny. A knowing look from Tanner. R catching the pattern. Even Alec — back in London — makes time to see for himself.
A slow-burn Bond/Q series of off-duty moments, unfolding in labs, rooftops, corridors… and, eventually, the living room.
With room for quiet observation, companion pieces, and the occasional inspired addition.- Words:

Summary
When a noble visits Camelot with her servant-turned-lover, Merlin thinks he and Arthur may actually have a chance. But when Arthur uses the visit as inspiration to instead court Gwen, Merlin develops a tickle in his throat. Then a cough. Then flower petals.
Beltane is a time for celebrating new life and new births, but Merlin will be lucky to survive until the festival, since the only cure for Hanahaki is to have one’s love returned…and Arthur doesn’t love him.

Summary
Merlin knows it’s better him than anyone else - it’s the mantra he repeats like a lifeline with every aching step he takes up the endless stairs in the castle, bones protesting and bruises littering his mauled chest. It’s better him than Gwen, he thinks, hands shaking as Arthur hands him off to Lord Something-Or-Other, known for whipping his servants into submission. It’s better him than the laundry girls, barely older than ten, trembling in fear as Sir Newest Knight throws a predatory gaze like a promise.
It’s better him. He has magic, so he could fight back, if need be. No one else has magic, so they couldn't fight back. It’s that simple.
(It’s really not)

I'm glad Merlin has Arthur and Morgana looking out for him with the bad nobles.
