The World Is Not Enough

 * When Bond asks Q if he is planning to retire any time soon, his voice drops and he starts to slow down his speech.

Fanon
00Q is one of the most popular James Bond ships - with over 7000 stories on AO3 and many more on Wattpad. It started to gain popularity with the release of Skyfall. Before that, 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 shared made it seem like they were flirting with each other and sharing playful banter, which made this ship rise in popularity.
