Your gateway to endless inspiration
OH MY GOD, the 00Q fandom is INCREDIBLE.
I accidentally found this creative vid from 2015 that combines London Spy, James Bond, AND SHERLOCK with the headcanon of Q being the youngest Holmes brother.
I’ve never really been able to see Danny from London Spy as Q before (the characters are so different), but NOW I can just imagine it – Q hiding his hacking skills from Alex (imagine that scene with Alex’s surprise if/when he finds out Q’s skills are almost on par with his own, hah), partying a lot, and working an ordinary job and pretending to not be as smart as he really as.
Then imagine him meeting Alex, getting into the trouble with the events from London Spy (the details about Danny’s parents will have to be tweaked slightly to fit the story), and then – and then – rescued by Mycroft and drafted into the Q-branch division at MI6.
Only thing I’m not sure about is whether in this headcanon Alex is really dead, or whether he turns up later (when Q and Bond are finally dating after a terribly slow burn, maybe?) and that causes lots and lots of angst.
I’m almost tempted to write this myself. Almost.
Anyway, the vid was great. Good choice of music and gave me chills. Applause to the creator.
