James Bond defies death on a regular basis. He comes back from the dead again and again. And each time something inside him dies. The darkness is growing and getting hungrier. Violence and blood and beautiful women, it is all an equation that can have one outcome. It is what makes him such a damned good agent.
M knew it. Then she died.
And Bond discovers that maybe, just maybe, she knew what she was doing when she gave him Q as his handler. This could be the solution, but it could also be the worst idea ever because the hunger and the need are growing and Q seems to be where his primal side, the predator he is, calms down.
Yes, it could be the solution. Or a catastrophy in the making that would tear them both to pieces.
I never really know what to think about fics where the characters have some kinda extraordinary (did i spell that righ?) powers. Doesn't matter what those powers are or if they are vampires or such. I just never know. But i didn't actually think any of that when I opened this one. I was just okey, this sounds interesting and lets read it. And when I still remember, this is first part of the series Firewall, I have only read this but I'm gonna guess and say the rest is probably as good as this is.
But back to the fic itself. There are supernatural powers like technopath and and and more weird things but I think technopath is probably the weirdest one (they have the ability to take control of any device there is and understand those and shit like that). Of course Q is technopath and Bond is something as well but I think Im gonna spoil all the fun if i tell you whick one he is.
But the point of whole fic is how they balance with their extraordinary powers (seriously I have no idea how to write that word so comment if I wrote it wrong). Q is in need of an anchor and so is Bond, kinda or something like that. At least something that will help them to control their power without it destroying them.
And that is the part I loved. They aren't masters of the powers, they can't control all that even when they try their hardest. The powers just wants to take them over and destroy them. The powers have their own mind and that mind isn't the person's mind. This is also why this is so different from other power fics because no one here is perfect and thats how life goes. It makes this more real and better and all that.
Totally worth of your time even if you aren't into the whole supernatural world or shit.
