Die Another Day
After Bond fails a training exercise, Q berates him. He later shows him a car that can vanish - The Aston Martin Vanquish, or as he called it, the Vanish. Q then gives Bond a manual, but the latter shoots it with the car’s guns.

Fanon
00Q is one of the most popular James Bond ships - having over 7000 stories on AO3, and a lot on Wattpad. It started to rise in popularity at the release of Skyfall. Before then, Q had a big age gap compared to Bond, so it was interesting to see someone around his age, maybe a little younger. However, the moments they share have made it seem as if they are flirting with each other and sharing playful banter, which made this ship rise in popularity.
