Summary:
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 catastrophe in the making that would tear them both to pieces.
Why You Should Read This:
It’s an interesting universe that Macx has built here. There are some folk that have supernatural abilities and, of course, James and Q are amongst them. James doesn’t defy death as much as… embrace it. It’s in his supernatural power.
This series shows the developing relationship between James and Q… the bond between them grows exponentially until it reaches a maturity that neither expected.
The universe is well developed, James and Q both have foibles and insecurities and are not perfect and have learn how to live together with their relationship.
Part 10 – Lunatic (some of the parts are under 2,000 words, so it’s not forever before you get there) is where the POI crossover happens and is a must for POI fans. Reese and Finch also have powers and it’s a treat to see Q and Finch spar verbally. It can pretty much be read as a stand-alone for the curious since Macx is good about providing enough background so you won’t feel lost.
Hey! There’s a new part I haven’t read yet! ::scurries off to read::
I’ve only seen two episodes of POI (with plans to watch more). But I love fics with supernatural elements and this looks so good – thank you for bringing it to my attention!
This is a very well written series and I second the rec. Macx writes some wonderful stories and her characters are spot on.
