Summary
In the aftermath of Skyfall, James Bond returns to London with no home, no mission, a bad shoulder, and another death on his conscience.
When Q offers him unexpected refuge in the form of his spare room, Bond begins the difficult work of rebuilding his body, confronting his grief, and learning that surviving is not the same as living. (And that neither has to be done alone.)

Summary
Henry nudges at Hans’ bicep with his nose and Hans clamps his arm tight to his side. “Surely your bath maids back in Rattay have had a look under your arms.”
“Yes, when they were washing me, as bath maids do,” Hans says. “And they didn’t look at me like a slobbering dog as they did so. I wish I had my mirror, you look like Mutt when you wave a piece of meat in his direction.”
“Ahh, I won’t bite unless you ask,” Henry teases. He nudges the crease between Hans’ bicep and his ribs once more. “Lift it up, show me.”
Henry seeks to show how he's missed every part of Hans while he's been locked away. Hans seeks to be marked by Henry as Henry is marked for him.

Summary
The body of a Prince was not like anyone’s. His hand only ever held others in a firm handshake, and rarely without gloves. Sometimes he would raise the delicate hands of noble ladies to his lips for a brief kiss, but it was all out of propriety. He rarely touched others, but what was even rarer was others touching him. The only ones who dared were his knights, and even they only smacked his shoulder or patted his back in friendly roughhousing. Gripping each other’s arms before battle was the most heartfelt touch they exchanged. Lingering soft touches were not done. Any lingering touch on his person could be interpreted as political movements. After all, Arthur’s body wasn’t his own. It never had been. He was Camelot’s first and foremost. Even above his own needs and wants.

Summary
Q understands that it’s his destiny to lose James twice, once in death, once when his aged self walks away from a younger James in front of The Fighting Temeraire and triggers the next cycle to begin, until one cycle when he won’t lose James at all.
+
Or, it’s Q vs. the multiverse, and one of these lifetimes he’s going to win.
