rectober #14 + rectober masterlist

feels like insomnia (woah) (4172 words) by skylights
Fandom: Skyfall (2012), James Bond (Movies), James Bond (Craig movies)
Rating: Not Rated
Relationships: James Bond/Q
Additional Tags: Fluff, Crack, so I finally watched Skyfall and this happened, not even sorry, maybe a little, because of OOCness, Q has problems, Bond is one of them, but not really, unless Bond steals his food again, this is going nowhere
Summary: Q, on the other hand, is having significantly less trouble with coming to terms as to how he currently has a slightly drunk double-oh agent standing in his flat at arse-o’-clock in the morning. Without waiting for a reply, Q starts the vacuum up again and starts to clean the patch of carpet next to Bond’s feet. The vacuum nozzle bumps against Bond’s patent leather shoes a few times and Q grunts, a clear sign that Bond should move.

Bond moves.

(or, that fic where Q has insomnia and Bond tries to be helpful)
Why you should read this: my favourite kind of 00Q fics are luckily also the most common kind. Banter, perks, unsaid things and security in the relationship, as it is. This one is particularly wonderful because it's well written and humorous and has many great passages. I also love that this is an established relationship fic because those are relatively rare and established relationship fics are ♥

Excerpt:
“Arguing with a double-oh is like having a fight with a brick wall. Arguing with James Bond, on the other hand, when he has made his mind up about something, is like having a fight with a brick wall that fights the fuck back and fights dirty, at that.”

Keep Throwing Things and Slamming the Door (7817 words) by Traincat
Fandom: Spider-Man (Comicverse), Fantastic Four (Comicverse), Marvel 616
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: Author Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Peter Parker/Johnny Storm
Characters: Johnny Storm, Peter Parker, Jennifer Walters, Ben Grimm, Susan Storm (Fantastic Four)
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon
Summary: Waking up in a stranger's bed is not how superhero Johnny Storm planned on spending the morning after the night before.

From now on…

A) No more secret hookups with Peter Parker—he's the last man on earth Johnny'd want to share a room with, never mind a king-size bed.

B) Maintain a professional persona at all times. After all, he's a photographer for New York's #1 Superhero Bashing Rag and Johnny's perfect tabloid fodder.

C) Keep friends close but enemies closer. Easier said than done, with She-Hulk away on her honeymoon and Spider-Man avoiding him.
why you want to read this: this was brilliant. Johnny was lovely, absolutely lovely. Peter/spidey was great too, but mostly it was johnny I fell in love with here. Jen's subplot was hilarious and is an awesome comic relief when needed, though johnny's and peter's banter is great. ♥
