00Swann in The Guardian!
Today, in the list of things I didn't expect to see when scrolling The Guardian's front page, I give you...
Tumblr media
There are so many things that I love about it:
they picked an illustration that is not a production still, meaning that the writer or the image provider had to deliberately put the film on and freeze it mid-kiss on the best-looking frame (the parted lips!! the purple hues!!) — glad to get validation that it's not just deranged people like me doing this <3
Léa Seydoux is pictured twice in the article — you go girl, keep fighting the good sensual scene fight like the trooper that you are (too bad they had to take BITWC as the second example tho)
don't let our small fandom numbers fool you: 00swann is enough of a recognizible ship in the whole wild world that The Guardian would use them as a header for their sex scene article!!
With that said, shame on the interviewee who is throwing NTTD in the bucket of the films that only use women as sex objets. That may have been true of the James Bond films of decades past, or even for some characters of the CraigBond run like Monica Bellucci's or Gemma Arterton's (after all, you can't have Ms or Moneypennys all the time), but how can you hope to be taken seriously with that sort of comment when NTTD's entire plot is built around the female love interest?

what he says: i’m fine (i don’t know her at all)
what he means: i do know that for what felt like five minutes of my life i wanted everything with you. and it's not because i didn't trust... it was just that feeling. i know i've come here to find out who gave you the poison but i'm not going to leave here without you knowing that i have loved you. and i will love you. and i do not regret a single moment of my life that led me to you... except when i put you on that train.

Mmmh, somehow I'm surprised with the results of this one (i.e. I find myself in disagreement with the most voted opinion hehe). To me, James not only felt first, but he also fell harder. Who's up to chat about it?
I suppose that Madeleine's sudden "I love you" in Blofeld's lair is playing a part in the perception that she was the first to fall in love, but I see it as a brain short circuit, as the woman was witnessing the only person left on earth who understood and who supported her be brainwashed into forgetting her.
On the other hand, if we want to look at the same Spectre timestamp, there are multiple moments during the lair escape where Bond, whom we have known in the past to remain a ruthless killing machine even in the presence of partners (Vesper during the stair fight, Camille...), is shown to be distracted by Madeleine's presence. Cupping her face in gratitude after getting up from the torture chair; finding shelter beside her and sparing her a long, hard look before going back into the gunfight; taking her hand again and again to lead her towards a safe exit; even his smooth "Let's go home", right before it all explodes, to reassure her that they are together and he will see them both through this hell. (Don't get me started on all the layers to this "home" he is spontaneously offering.)
And then, a bit further, after the MI6 reunion -- There's this deliberate choice from Sam Mendes and the film editors to keep the focus on James' face for long seconds while he digests the news that Madeleine is trying to softly let him go. Right afterwards, in the car, the camera starts on Mallory (!) observing Bond, with an answering focus on Bond's seemingly impassive face, as though the agent's state of mind after this public rejection (let's not forget Q and Tanner were also witnessing all this by the cars) is a concern. Bond knows that the priority is on Nine Eyes, but he certainly won't leave the Dr. Swann matter to rest, not after all they've been through together. I would kill to read canon-divergent fics where Madeleine actually leaves the area unscathed, and James goes to find her and woo her back properly after the dust has settled.

Headcanon: James' birthday
The party invitation is extended to him by a giggling Mathilde, one or two sideway looks thrown at Madeleine betraying that this has been a well-rehearsed mission. Now that the Swanns are progressively introducing him into all aspects of their lives, he's more often than not at their London apartment anyway, but he relishes the sweet validation that they do want and expect him in their family.
The birthday party itself is a colorful affair: not only is there a big cake with candles that he gets to blow with the help and pudgy arms of an enthusiastic five-year-old, there are also heaps of presents. A delicious concept of long-buried familiarity, like a soft toy found hibernating under the bedding in one's childhood bedroom. First comes a watch, simple in design but whose large white wristband has been drawn on with a child's trembling approximations of ships and seagulls (« For when we go to Jamaica », Mathilde proclaims with finality) ; a turquoise turtleneck that brings a soft look to Madeleine’s eyes when he puts it on over his henley, and that he promises to himself to investigate later ; a couple of photography books that he remembers casually mentioning while they were strolling along a Leica store ; and, finally and deceptively innocuously, a whole pile of children’s books.
He raises an inquisitive eyebrow at the Swann council, his ladies sharing a secret smile and Madeleine placing her hand in Mathilde's as she announces that it is time he be introduced to their bedtime ritual. They thus spend the remainder of the afternoon reading together, bundled up on the couch with their feet propped up on a coffee table now drowning under vibrant paper wrappings. Mathilde is a tough customer, interjecting here and there to demand that James pitch his voice shriller for the Rose or deeper for the Fox, prompting a literary debate he would have never in a million years imagined he would get to voice his opinion in. Madeleine refrains from chiming in, but he can surmise from the way her chest shakes on the other end of the couch and from the mirth in her eyes that he has a long way to go before he's deemed master storyteller.
If his voice is a little raw and hoarse when they finally put Mathilde to bed, no one comments on it, still high from the thrill of sharing so many adventures. Cuddling quietly with Madeleine afterwards amidst the remains of the feast feels only natural, expanding the weighty warmth that seems to have taken permanent residence in his chest, the stem of his glass of wine coming to tickle her leg while she massages his scalp and twines her fingers around silvering strands of hair - longer now that he formally retired and ditched the military cut. Humming in contentment, he lets his thoughts wander to what stories they will pick up next.
