  2. Summary

    J. Baillier's "Drift Compatible" takes place in the 2040s, in a world changed and governed by a devastating threat. Based on Guillermo del Toro and Travis Beecham's Pacific Rim universe but requiring no knowledge of it whatsoever, it is the story of Rangers Holmes and Watson, serving in the Pan-Pacific Defence Corps, humanity's best and last line of defence. A highly sophisticated neural interface allows them to Drift, which means syncing their memories and thoughts to control a Jaeger—which are the most formidable war machines ever built. Drifting also creates a connection between the two men which, in its intensity, is initially difficult for both to accept. These short stories were inspired by "Drift Compatible", and feature the works of several authors.

    The title of this series comes from a speech in the first Pacific Rim film, one made by Marshal Stacker Pentecost: "Today... At the edge of our hope, at the end of our time, we have chosen not only to believe in ourselves, but in each other. Today there is not a man nor woman in here that shall stand alone. Not today. Today, we face the monsters that are at our door and bring the fight to them. Today…We are cancelling the apocalypse."

    Summary

    “It’s a fitful sleep, the kind that has him tossing and turning. The kind that aches somewhere deep in his chest, where everything feels out of place, off kilter, wrong. He’s tired—exhausted all the way down to his bones—and yet he cannot rest, can’t find himself at peace.

    This has been his routine for a little over three months now, ever since he handed over the keys to his latest mistake.”

    Q knew that a friends with benefits arrangement with Bond would only lead to tears; the only thing that gets shattered more than his heart are his expectations.

    Summary

    Sequel to: oh mercy, I implore.

    On the inhale, James decides that this life—lazy Sunday mornings, the persistent smell of bergamot, ink dark skin under his mouth, and Q breath’s across his bones—is worth infinitely more than all MI-6 has to offer. On the exhale, M sentences him to certain death—months of deep undercover, endlessly dark days where Q’s voice won’t be in his ear, the post-Spectre tidying up that James thought they’d somehow avoided.

    Summary

    Or: 5 Times James Bond Set About Learning Q's Name, & 1 Time He Succeeded

    After Skyfall, Bond has been grounded and put on reserve. He’s bored, antsy, and desperate for any entertainment. So when it’s revealed that the new Quatermaster has something of a mystery surrounding his name, Bond is intrigued. When his search devolves into a bet with Q, wherein the loser incurs an embarrassing forfeit, James starts to feel alive again and will do anything he can to learn Q's name.

    And if he falls for his Quatermaster, that’s his own business.
