    Summary

    Q examined the half-smoked cigarettes littering the ground beneath him, his eyes tracing the orange paper wrapped around perfectly round filters. Bond’s custom cigarettes had small wrinkles at the ends, giving them the expensive feel of a unique creation. He missed them, but corner store tobacco would just have to do.

    “I thought I’d find you here.”

    Q dragged his gaze up to look at the face of the man speaking to him. He couldn't stop his hands from shaking, but it was a cold evening.

    “You started smoking again?”

    “I don’t know, James. What do you think?”

    “I think you have bad taste in cigarettes."

    Summary


    Six hundred years. Seven meetings. Countless dreams. And in them, Hob forgets to pretend he doesn’t want more—because the only constant in his long, immortal life has always been his friend.

     
    ---
    - A fix-it Dreamling fic I started writing even before watching season 2.
    - We follow Hob from the very beginning.
    - Every chapter is character development *jazz hands*
    - Centuries of pining, bad decisions, and unbuttoned shirts.
    - Real plot starts happening in chapter 3!
    - Hob has a lot of dreams! I wonder why! (from chapter 4)
    - Extremely self-indulgent. Probably turns into a buddy comedy with will-they-won't-they energy. (They will.)
    - Slow burn? Absolutely. Smut? Eventually. Emotional devastation? Without a doubt.
    - A lot of hurt no comfort but it has a happy ending, I promise!
    - English is not my first language and this is not beta read, we die like Hob doesn’t

    Summary

    This one is for people who love Henry’s literary voice, his trembling uncertainty, and his tender, molten heart.

    I can’t tell you what kind of reading experience you’ll have, but here’s what some people have said:
    “I have loved reading (and rereading) this so, so much, I can't even say. This needs to be printed and bound as a companion to RWRB.”
    “Your Henry is so wonderfully three-dimensional, so lovable, and so REAL.”
    “Henry being made utterly useless by Alex’s mere existence.”
    “Henry you absolute sad sack (affectionate)!”

    “Intense insight.”
    “So exquisite… and thoroughly savage.”
    “Incredibly beautiful.”
    “Mesmerized and in pain.”

    “Getting a little kinky all up in here!” (DON’T LOOK AT ME.)
    “A doozy.”
    “!!!”
    “WHEN I TELL YOU I CACKLED”

    The entries start in August 2016, when Henry and Alex cross paths at the Rio Olympics, and end after Ellen Claremont's reelection.

    Summary

    One day, in spring, he comes to the Inn.

    Hob looks up and he’s there, and the relief is blinding. He thinks tu m’as manqué, fuck, because you were missing from me feels more true than I missed you ever has. English missing was ruined for him the moment he learned the French way of it. Longing is meant to be a reflexive verb.

    It would be a bad faith translation, even for him. He tells himself this is why he doesn’t say it.

    He thinks at last, and that’s a doable one. So he smiles, says, “You’re late.”
