Diamonds are Forever

Casino Royale
Bond and Felix both play in a poker game against Le Chiffre. When Bond is forced out after misreading a bluff, Felix backs him with a $5 million buy in, with the agreement that the CIA would arrest Le Chiffre.

"Listen, I'm bleeding chips. I'm not going to last much longer. You have a better chance. I'll stake you. I'm saying I'll give you the money to keep going. Just one thing: you pull it off, the CIA bring him in."

- Felix, Casino Royale

Quantum of Solace
Felix learns that Quantum was trying to kill Bond, and lies when he is shown a picture of him. Later, Bond calls up Felix and asks to meet him. Felix knows that Beam was trying to kill him, so he made the meeting discreet. Felix warns Bond about Beam, and manages to get him away.

Fanon
Despite Jalix not being a popular ship in the fanfiction fanbase, there are several who support the idea. The idea of Jalix first originated in License to Kill, where the plot rolls around Bond trying to avenge Felix and his maims. This ship wasn’t supported before, as there was always a sort of strained relationship. More Jalix fans came around at the start of the second era.
