007 FEST 2023 / Fix-It Day

[The greatest fix-it experts lie within the @00qad-fandom. There is nothing we have not endured and subsequently fixed. Forever.]

A FIX-IT DAY COLLAB BROUGHT TO YOU BY @kitten-kin of @teamqbranch and @a-forger-and-a-point-man of @teamofvillains!

Every year after the buzz and the noise and the packed calendars of Pride Month and 007 Fest are behind them, the 00QAD family pack up the cars for the 10-hour drive up to the Scottish Highlands to Skyfall, where they spend August keeping Kincade company and getting some fresh air.

James loves driving all the way in his highly prized Aston Martin DB5, and Danny joins him for the intimate (read: cramped) ride. It's very special for Danny because he's never really had nice things - and James treats him like a star.

This naturally means that the more grounded and practical gentlemen in the family - Q and Alex - take a more sensible vehicle that fits luggage and two cats on leashes and their litter box. It's a lot safer to have two cars for the journey anyway.

When they pull up to Skyfall, Kincade's doggos run up in excitement to the familiar faces, but they're immediately put in their place by @princesspampuria who scares the SHIT out of these fierce hunting companions. The boss lady has arrived.

Pam loves the August vacation because she can hunt sheep and deer, and yes, she does it alone, and no, not always for food. Possibly just blood thirst and sport.

Kincade always has the finest Scottish salmon prepared for his little princess. Despite James' best efforts, Kincade is as in love with Pam as Q is.

It has taken a few years for James and Kincade to reconnect - or even reconcile, in many ways - and get to the place they're in now. James isn't used to genuine, older, wiser, paternal mentorship. But no matter how old he gets, he sure as hell needs it, and the boys are keenly aware of that.

Kincade knows what they all do now. He doesn't ask too many questions, but he allows them the space to let things out when they need to. He loves them like his own children and grandchildren, and this is what James must get used to: a natural, unconditional, familial love that isn't tied to what he does or where he's been. It's just there.

This yearly visit to Skyfall is also critical for James to reflect on where he came from, and spend time at his parents' gravesite. When a man knows his roots and understands that he was always loved, it changes him.

All that said, Kincade's favorite humans are actually Danny and Alex. Danny and Kincade send each other care packages throughout the year, and Danny is such a wonderful listener to the lifetime of stories Kincade always shares around the fire.

Turing always joins them, laying across Kincade's lap. Turing was officially given to Alex by Q to be his therapy cat, so Turing recharges in these settings.

Alex is also a good listener, but he knows to take advantage of what Kincade can teach him in the time they have together. They are both very outdoorsy people, and Kincade has taught Alex hunting, fishing, archery, and the cooking of certain animal parts. Alex is game to try out new things.

Q and Kincade have a warm and cordial relationship, but Q lives in his own head a lot, and he's not exactly fond of lacing up his hiking boots for a sunrise trek. So he'll spend. lot of time doing maintenance on Skyfall's security system, broadband connectivity, and electrical supply.

You're wondering what Kincade thinks of their relationship. And that's a very valid question. He thinks they're all well-raised gentlemen and he wouldn't trade them for the universe, and that helps tremendously in accepting that his little James - that jumped up shit - has become a man with not just an unconventional job, but an unconventional family life. They're all happy, and that makes Kincade happy, and Danny teaches him about queer culture and how to celebrate Pride at Skyfall. Kincade still affectionately calls the community "the gays" and tells his mates down at the pub that all of his sons have delivered him sons-in-law.

A great amount of time is spent in the kitchen on making three meals a day and eating together at the table. There's hearty haddock soup and tattie scones and plenty of "stovies" after their big Sunday roast. The twins' sweet tooth (Q & Danny) means Kincade always has plenty of ingredients to make his famous Cranachan every week.

Danny and Turing bake pawprint shortbread to leave as a parting gift for Kincade, and the boys all make sure they've cleaned up and done the laundry and are leaving the house in better shape than they found it.

Goodbyes are never easy, and Danny cries, and Pam cries too then screams bloody murder and refuses to let go of Kincade. An ice box filled with wild Scottish salmon for the ride helps a little bit. After a month, even the doggos are sad to see the boss lady go.

James never ever shows that he's getting emotional, but in the car, alone with Danny, he lets out the breath he's been holding, and confesses that the trip was the best time of his life - until next year.

[ID: a digital two-panel drawing of Danny and Alex from the show London Spy. In the first panel, the two are drawn from the side, glancing at a pink-hued sea and smiling. The second panel shows the two from behind, sitting and talking, against a more grey-hued sea. Text placed on the two panels reads: I wish I could have told him. That none of it mattered, the lies, the mistakes. That I loved him just the same. That I love him still, now, knowing it all. end ID]

The show London Spy was so good and so slept on and it’s EXACTLY what I’m talking about when I say I want more queer media. I don’t need another coming of age love story, I want cool shit 😭😭

🚨SPOILERS AHEAD🚨 TLDR: London Spy is a fucking masterpiece and if you are a queer person who has experienced heavy grief and like mysteries and government conspiracy dramas,,, please watch it 🚨

There are aspects of queer life and identity in this show that I have yet to see handled similarly: personal relationships to sex, external expectations of a queer persons relationship to sex and kink, personal perception and the external viewer, and loneliness.

Every queer fucking character in this show is lonely. They all possess an emptiness, an ache, even if it’s for drastically different reasons. I think that most queer people have that piece of them that shows through sometimes, making them feel hopeless and alone.

There is so much care poured into Danny’s loneliness, this feeling of complete disputation between himself and every other person in the world. Every family, every organization. He has two friends, only one he actually converses freely with, and that friend is himself alone.

He connects truly and deeply and is truly un-alone with one person in the entire series - Alex. And when Alex is taken from him Danny’s loneliness is at an ultimate peak, thus continues the ongoing conversation of grief throughout London Spy.

This show is such a think piece on grief. You go through all of Danny’s emotions and steps through mourning. The entire show is bathed in this haze of confusion and draining sorrow, it itself is an expression of grief as a concept and Danny’s personally.

Dannys grief doesn’t just start with Alex’s death, it’s present from the very beginning of the show. He is in a rough fucking place and has been since he was 19, his entire life is shrouded in pain and darkness but yet he still chooses to be a light — a broad queer truth

The way that Danny stands solitarily against and between everyone and everything that is thrown at him is astounding. He is broken and week and misinterpreted and purposely slandered. But his will is so fucking strong, he does not back down — another common trait in queer folk

Alex was saved in the nick of time, but still had to leave, and being angry at the people and the system ended up dropping off the radar and turning his skills to trying to find information to expose the corrupt and nefarious deeds of the government. But Danny, believing he was gone set out on his own mission of revenge, learning to code, and getting swept up into 6 as a way of keeping him "silent" and "under control". But he still has a purpose he keeps hidden, planning to rise through the ranks and get access to everything he can, and he eventually gets promoted to the Quartermaster position.

As Q, he finds himself pitted against an unknown hacker that is trying to crack his system, and they end up testing each other repeatedly, the hacker trying to gain access, and q-branch trying to track him down, until Q think he's found an opening and the hacker expresses his anger at being torn from the one he loved, from the life he could and should have had, and he won't stop until the government pays... and the gears are turning.... Q finds a way to reach out and offer an alliance, not yet realising who it is

007 Fest - 00QAD Chat Night Prompts/Headcannons

Since Saturday July 29th was @00qad-fandom Chat Night, I thought I'd post and share some of my ideas and headcanons that were inspired by that night (yes I know I'm posting this 2 days later and on the last day of fest, I've been busy unfortunately).

Hacker AU! Where Danny stumbles into Hacker!Alex at a nightclub and Alex was trying to break into the servers the club had in the back room. They almost get caught but Danny saves Alex 

Alex goes into hiding but is saved last minute but Danny doesn’t know this. He gets really into what Alex was doing and decides that since no one is listening to him he’ll take up his mantle and become a hacker. Either he eventually becomes Q OR Q finds him one day and is like - you are my new R. Eventually, Danny starts running Q Branch and running double oh missions and meets James. Alex has been on a multi year long undercover mission with Alec and has been telling Alec all about Danny.One day, they all come back to Q Branch at the same time and all realize they like the same person and Danny is kinda freaking out but Alex, James, and Alec are all like… eh at least one of us will be with you at all times this is good actually. 

Super soldier!Alex meeting Civilian!Danny and Danny teaching him all about the normal world when James and Q are sent to track Alex down and bring him back but end up faking his death and bringing him back as normal Q-branch technician Alex and Danny becomes an Agent instead with Alex as his and James’ “Support Analyst”

In similar vein - Black Widow!Alex who breaks from training but is lost and Danny finds him and then Q and James get involved because Alex is a known threat but they know better after getting to know him and boom Alex defects and becomes an Agent with Danny as his Q-branch support because he only listens and trusts Danny, James, or Q

Some others I thought of after the chat:

Q-Branch Analyst! Alex defects and has to fake his death after meeting Civilian!Danny. Danny then decides that he wants to understand more of Alex's previous world and root out what happened in Q-Branch and joins it. Eventually he becomes Q and succeeds in getting rid of all the corruption in the Branch (and MI6) that led to Alex's (supposed) death. Only after this is done does Alex feel safe to come back. James is the one that helped him hide all those years ago.

Vet!Alex who met a very concerned Danny at his veterinary practice after Danny comes across a mama cat and her 3 kittens. Alex knows another couple (Q + James) that would love to adopt some kittens and he introduces them all.

Assassin!Q who targets Alex, but is thrown off after seeing Danny and realizing that Danny is his long lost twin? brother? doppelganger? and instead gets curious and eventually realizes that he can't kill Alex bc it will hurt Danny. James is Q's support agent and just shrugs and goes along with it all.

Dearest 00QAD Community:

As you're aware we have been holding watch parties for London Spy every year since it premiered for the show's anniversary, between Nov 9 and Dec 7.

This time around, the moderators of this blog and the 00QAD Discord Server have decided that critical, volatile, and tragic current events have quite frankly left us in no mood for something as dark as London Spy. Not when it's a show about the power-hungry establishment taking on a penniless young man who just wanted to be loved. Not when it's a show about how the government fears the potential of a single individual. And not when Alex's lie detection software is exactly what could have prevented the beginnings of a genocide.

We are not going anywhere - the fandom is as active as ever, and growing, in fact. So fear not, the 00QAD community lives on. But we just wanted to let you know that we won't be showing London Spy for the remainder of 2023. It's likely, however, that the ever-popular 00QAD Night In watch party series for the holiday season will return - so keep an eye out for some announcements to lift all our spirits.

Yours In Solidarity Always,

The 00QAD Community Mods

Just started a re-watch of London Spy.

I love how Danny and Alex meet and get to know each other.

I obviously hate that they can never get a happy end.
