Tomorrow Never Dies
Bond and Q meet, the former about to get a new car. The quartermaster tells Bond that he put in a female voice, hoping it would keep him alert. Q gives Bond a remote control for it, and while he can’t use it, Bond masters it first hand.

When M orders for Bond to receive a tracker, Q obliges, but promises to keep his location a secret. When Q arrives to work the next day, he finds that Bond has stolen the Aston Martin DB10 and left a bottle of champagne. At the end of the film, Q gives Bond his old DB5 back.

The World Is Not Enough

 * When Bond asks Q if he was planning to retire any time soon, his voice goes down a tone and he starts to slow down his speech.

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.
