mi6_cafeIt’s that time for the weekly chat again! Grab your tea and confectionaries and head on down for a chat!
Don’t forget that the weekly chat is open until Friday of next week (where I will post a new weekly chat post full of exciting mi6 café updates).
Please remember that anon commenting is on so you don’t need an account to join in the fun! If you are using anon comments, if you could put your name/handle in the subject line/body of the comments that would be fab (just so everyone knows who they are talking to!)
Weekly Recs
It’s time again for you to give your weekly recs! This week we’re looking for your favourite fics/art you’ve seen over the past week and those fics/art that fit into the genre of the week!
This week the genre of fanwork recs we’re looking for is: Short and Sweet. This week we want those fics/art that are short and to the point – maybe a ficlet that’s a few hundred words or a piece of art that is a sketch.
When reccing fic/art, please can you make a separate comment with ‘Week Rec’ in the subject title. If you’re commenting anon, then just put your handle in brackets after the ‘Weekly Rec’ bit - eg Weekly Rec (cass). This just helps your friendly mod hunt down all your links and put them into the weekly rec post!
Spectre Prompt Fest!
The MI6 prompt bingo table excitement continues! We’re releasing a new prompt every week up to when Spectre is released in the UK on November 6th. You can write/draw/create anything of your choice in response to the prompt, and you can post fills for any of the revealed prompt!
This week the prompt is: Love doesn’t solve everything.
You can post your fills anywhere you like – tumblr, in the comments section of the weekly chat, as a post on the comm, or to your own LJ! Feel free to link your fills in the chat, and don’t forget to tag your prompt fills with #mi6cafeprompt so everyone can share the 00Q love!
If you are posting your fill as a separate post on the comm, please follow the guidelines on the Comm's profile page with regards to headers. This helps your friendly mods create the relevant tags to ensure things are easy to find!

Re: Castillon
Date: 2015-07-05 06:05 pm (UTC)I think James always does laundry. Q does the dishes [since james cooks] I like to think that Q cleans the house in frustration or when James is out on a mission. James tries to clean the house after mission but Q forces him to lay in bed and BLOODY REST for fuck's sake james, you'll rip out your stitches.
Re: Castillon
Date: 2015-07-06 02:24 am (UTC)House cleaning would be exactly the kind of manual, don't-have-to-think-too-much kind of work that Q might indulge in when he's stressed out, and that Bond might try to get away with when he's on medical leave. Funny to think that a little bit of dust in the house probably means that all's right in the world for them!
Q does the home improvement and repairs. Bond is the one who mostly combines all of their furniture together in ways that don't look ridiculous, plus handling other aesthetic considerations that might come up. Bond is also the one who tends to make the phone calls to the landlord or whoever else might need charmed into agreeing that the tiny explosion that the neighbor reported really wasn't a big deal, or what-have-you, because he doesn't mind using his manipulative spy tricks for domestic purposes.
Bonus headcanon: they share a mutual passion for ridiculously specific kitchen gadgets, and sometimes when Bond breaks out the mandolin or the zester or the cherry pitter then Q helps with the cooking.

Re: Castillon
Date: 2015-07-06 05:24 am (UTC)a. call Alec, in which Alec would just make fun of James for sucking at reading SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS.
b. call Eve, where she would do it no problems and then tell Alec and then it goes back to point A.
c. call Tanner because Tanner wouldn't rat either of them out but now they are in Tanner's debt.
Re: Castillon
Date: 2015-07-06 06:41 am (UTC)Afterward, he and Bond occasionally venture into Q Branch's small carpentry center when they've got insomnia and come out covered in sawdust and looking smug and finally able to sleep. Bond makes Q design him a lot of personalized kitchen tables and islands and things, and some furniture with built-in hidey-holes for weapons.
(*cough* The dining room table may or may not be exactly the right height for fucking. Just saying.)
(But they are never having sex on Bond's kitchen island, which has some useful adjustable sections that make things easier on him when he has various injuries as well as places for all of his favorite kitchen gadgets and knives. The island is Sacred Cooking Space. Coincidentally, it is also where Q likes to be a tease.)
Since Eve is so good at assembling it, she and Alec retaliate by populating their flats with IKEA furniture whenever they need something new so they can watch Q try not to make "WE MEET AGAIN, NEMESIS" faces whenever he comes over and spots their latest acquisition.
Not sure how Tanner would react. Thoughts?

Re: Castillon
Date: 2015-07-06 08:08 am (UTC)Tanner knows that when they lived together they got cheap ass furniture from IKEA. Q could never assemble it, or he would assemble it backwards. Tanner would just tell Q to get him a beer and he'd assemble it himself. Tanner, like his job, just keeps a cool and calm appearance as he does his job.
So when Q calls him out of the blue on his personal phone rather than his work phone [which comes up as Q's real name, not his identity at MI6], a two things go through Tanner's head:
1. Something bad has happened because Q would never call the personal. It's reserved for Tanner's wife.
2. He needs something built since carpentry is not Q's strongest strength.
Tanner's price is that Q gets him a six pack of beer and buys dinner. And since James isn't building anything either, he can finish his goddamn paperwork.
Re: Castillon
Date: 2015-07-06 09:05 pm (UTC)Also, throwing in my headcanon, contrary to books I don't think either Bond or Q would be big on the idea of having a housekeeper, however Alec has no qualms about using whoever occupies the lowest post in MI6 to occasionally dust his flat.
Re: Castillon
Date: 2015-07-07 01:55 am (UTC)As for alec. Oh totally. He would make an intern's life a living hell until they got on the payroll.
