Remember Remember (AO3)

James Bond/Skyfall

BouncyBrittonie

Summary:  He remembered dancing. How it felt like gliding on clouds, while he was guided by James’ expert hands and the soft rumble of his voice in his ear. He could remember James trembling beneath his hands, he braved a look at the injury on his shoulder and all he could see was red. And he could remember Eve’s soothing hands over his tired face, whispering words of calm in a voice that seemed so magical.

Bear with me, as I’m not familiar with this fandom. I’m starting to believe it doesn’t matter, though, as the summary has really made me feel like I am. Good job to you, BouncyBrittonie, for creating an awesome summary that catches the interest of your reader.

Wow.

‘As the downpour from the deliciously large shower head continued to beat down around him, he was enveloped in the simple roar of it.’ The wording in this story is remarkable. I honestly don’t even know what to say about it.  

There’s this awkward white space that made me nervous for a second. I was like ‘please, don’t tell me this is the entire story.’ Don’t worry, it’s not. Thankfully.

I have to keep reminding myself that I’m writing a review here. If I didn’t, I’d be lost in this fic until the very end. There is so much deep, perfect emotion going on in here that it’s very easy to get sucked into it and lose focus of other things around you.

Wow and no are two words I’m likely to use throughout this review. Honestly. It was so deep and pure and perfect with James and Q in love (and trust me, guys, this kind of writing isn’t just about a quick fuck to get it over with) and then the stupid bad guys had to come in and ruin it all (insert childish five year old pout here). Honestly, I could hear Q screaming as they’re pulling James away from him.

More awkward white space. I believe this is the author’s way of separating scenes. We all have them. I use an X, others use dots. To each their own.

I’m a little bit confused as to who is talking, who is being touched, who is doing anything at the beginning of this next scene. Does James have the gun to his head? Is James the one being touched, the one shouting out?

‘black as sin.’ BOMB! I love this.

Wait…I think Q is the one that the guy is touching and James got whacked with the gun for daring to tell the guy to keep his hands off James’ man. Got it. Awesome.

“But any funny business, and I’ll make you scream while your boyfriend watches.”

“… Pain or pleasure?” Do I sense sarcasm? I loved this. It made me laugh.

OUCH! I’m surprised that burn didn’t kill him! Then again, I’m really dramatic so I would think a cufflink burn would kill somebody. I’M SO READY FOR THE ACTION!

Damn it mr. bad guy. Can’t you let us enjoy our James/Q experience? Eff you very much, sir.

I honestly couldn’t tell you guys how much I’m enjoying this. I LOVE action. I’m almost obsessed with it. I’m so lost in this fic that I have to force myself to stop reading to write anything about it. The words used in here are insane! You almost don’t notice that they’re in there, but they have a huge impact on the sentence and how it’s read that if they were missing you would be able to tell.

Thank. God. Honestly, if James would have died I would have been devastated. He and Q are just too cute together. I don’t want to see this oneshot end. Seriously. I’m being really dramatic and sappy here, but I don’t even care at this point. I don’t even know these characters (technically) but I really feel like I do. This author has given me insight into their lives and personalities and it makes me more interested in the Skyfall/James Bond fandom. Q is so damn cute with his crying and loving and raw emotion and James is just….ahhh!

Oh James Bond….what I would do for you….

I’m going to die! I have no idea how others haven’t reading this. There’s so much love and action and excitement! Ahh!!

I sense sex coming up. And yes, Q, I agree. Skip the dinner. Come on, Bond.

Normally I would be cringing at this sex scene (honestly, I am just a little bit) because guy/guy just isn’t something I’m into. But the wording is really good and the author isn’t all ‘James shoved his dick in Q’s ass.’ *shudder* anybody else disturbed by that?

I really think it’s adorable that they’re having a conversation while they’re having sex with each other. The level of comfort there is amazing. And James insecurities laid out on the table were a great touch. And OH MY GOD HE PROPOSED IN THE SHOWER! I just used the word ‘and’ a lot, but oh well. Things are starting to calm down a bit as we’re reaching the end.

I GET THE CHAIN NOW!

I want a straight James Bond. Seriously. You and WolfGirl1335 should team up to create real life versions of the characters you write.

The fact that you have been away from fanfiction for 8 years and you come back with THIS is incredible! Okay, now I have to go look up the pictures of these guys.

Awww Q looks like a cute little nerd! Awww!!! Love it

Is it too late to mention that some of your tags are hilarious?

Alright…you know what it’s time for.
