England Would Fall Ch. 6

John’s phone buzzed, and he reached for it, plucking it off the stack of newspapers on the coffee table. There was one paper for every day that had passed since Sherlock…, and John didn’t have it in him to call to cancel the subscription or even move the papers. Drinks. Tonight. 7. Michael’s Pub. Come if convenient. For a split second, John expected to see a “-SH” at the bottom of the text, and his whole body thrummed with relief. But there weren’t any initials, and when he looked at the sender, it was James and not Sherlock. The sickening feeling in his gut was almost enough to make him throw his

“I think there’s someone watching me.” Q sighed and looked up at the double-oh leaning against his desk. If it had been anyone else, he would have taken the statement seriously and set up surveillance to see if there actually was anyone watching him, but it was James Bond, and James Bond didn’t come to his Quartermaster with his fears of being watched. James Bond blew up a sizeable portion of London to eliminate the threat, spent half the night shagging some floozy in an expensive hotel, and lost every piece of equipment he had managed to wrangle out of Q in the interim. “I’m sure you can handle the situa

Q was just setting up another test to check the firewalls as the last of the minions were trickling out of Q-branch. He had patched up the last few holes in the system that Mycroft had come through and was now literally trying to hack it himself, using varying degrees of sophisticated code. He was determined to make sure that neither of his brothers ever disturbed his work again. Twenty minutes later, Q finished debriefing 009, his least favorite, most arrogant agent. The man was actually worse than Bond, and that was saying something. He checked the computer, smiling slightly as he read the results of the scan. If someone wanted to hack the

James was lying on the end of his bed when his phone buzzed with a text. He reached over blindly for it before he realized that it was his personal line, not his work one. He opened the message, his eyes slowly softening in recognition. Haven’t seen you in forever, mate. If you’re in the country, would you fancy a drink? -JW God, he hadn’t seen John Watson since his Royal Navy days. He tried to remember what had happened, and he faintly remembered Watson getting injured in action, but that had been years after he’d been recruited to the double-oh program, and M had never exactly encouraged outside friendships.

Q liked being alone in the mornings. He liked having time to settle in at his desk and have his second cup of Earl Grey before any of the agents or minions were around to bother him with their problems, so that was why he came into the office at ‘some ungodly hour,’ as Tanner put it. That was how Eve found him an hour later, fingers curled around his Scrabble mug, eyes darting across lines of code. She walked into the room, newspaper in hand, a worried look on her face. “Q?” Q’s eyes darted up, giving the woman he considered to be his best friend a searching look. “Yes?” Eve realized that she hadn&

Secrets: Chapter Thirty-Two Duty Calls (POV Miguel King) “I’m not going to give all my secrets away,” I muttered, watching Prentiss out of the corner of my eye. “I have ways of contacting Jules, and I will. But you have to realize that the last time I was in contact with him, I refused to do a hit for him. I don’t think he’s going to exactly be the most open to me right now.” Prentiss shook his head. “I don’t exactly care, King. We have a deal. You give me the doctor, and you get to walk free. Your time is running out. What do you have left, four days? I’d get on it if I was you.&r

004. Lock and Key

Lock and Key If I could keep you within reach Chained to me like an anchor in a storm I would. If I could keep you in a cage Away from everyone who will hurt you I would. If I could sew your lips shut And revel in the silence of your presence I would. What I’m saying, darling, is if I could have you my way Not the world’s way Purer and simpler and sweeter and so much more fair (Be mine for forever and a day? Just promise me you’ll stay) I would And I would be the only one who’d break you If I could.

There’s only one person we know that wants her gone. And Aden in there is the best shot we have at finding her!” I listened to Jack shout at Prentiss for a good fifteen minutes straight. I’d never met Peter, but I’d heard both Jack and Miguel talk about her, about her work on the case, and even though I’d never seen her, I felt like I knew her. I certainly knew that Jack was in love with her. Eventually, the yelling stopped. Jack came into m

There were fourteen programs running, on three different screens, on Q’s one desk. Four were constantly monitoring security, searching for holes in the firewalls protecting the MI6 mainframe. Three of them were tracking double-oh agents, one in Germany, one in Russia, and one in Japan. Six were beta programs, ideas Q was toying with on how to improve security by lessening the number of gateways onto the system. Then there was the last one; created with the sole purpose of tracking down the equipment that James Bond had failed, yet again, to return. One of the programs made itself known by causing its window to flash orange. A bit dista

Weekly Round-up!

May 20, 2013

This week we've collected four brilliant pieces dedicated to "Life Lessons and Realisations" - from the acceptance of life without a loved one, to the admiration of beauty in the mass destruction and form of a mushroom cloud. This Week's Features! :star: The Chalkboard by August-Green (https://www.deviantart.com/august-green) The Early Learner Bird Gets The Word August-Green (https://www.deviantart.com/august-green) brings up a lot of interesting topics in one single piece, presented through the impartial eyes of a child learning about the world through words written on a chalkboard each morning. :star: mushroom cloud by miserabel (https://www.deviantart.com/miserabel) There's something beautiful about so much destruction.

Prisoner

You always knew they'd fuck you over. Never any doubt. Civilians playing at being 'heroes', with no idea of how badly what they were doing was going to blow up in their faces. Either that, or they just didn't care. And you went along with them anyway. How's that for loyalty?(Or stupidity, you admit. Very possibly stupidity.) And hey, look where it got you. Who's surprised? Nothing much you can do about it now, though. Said your piece, tried your arm at diplomacy (and you were never much good at that to begin with. Too fond of saying what you thought, always have been. And look where it got you), and all for what? A load of empty promises ab

Limbo

Some souls go right through, you know? They don’t even pause. It’s right through limbo without a second glance, and then on to be judged and sent up or down. They’re the easy ones, because I can lay back and hold my lamp and they follow the light like moths to a flame, the ends of their frayed personalities fluttering even though there isn’t any wind. While the masses go through without any problems, there are always those few troublemakers that just can’t seem to resist the lure of limbo. See, in limbo, there’s nothing, and while that may sound awful to you folks who are living halfway decent lives, to th

So, this could be considered my really, really, really, really late feature journal from last week. Did I mention I was late. I'm sorry. Life. Life sucks. And life is going to suck even more when I start school. Anywho!
