All Bets Are Off, by Morgane

2008-01-29

[James Bond]

Title: All Bets Are Off
Author: Morgane [info]smilla840
Summary: Set post Casino Royale. Bond is being a pain, as usual.
Pairing: James Bond/Villiers
Rating: NC-17

Why?

One trope I really like is two people who get into a purely sexual relationship, and discover too late that they've developed feelings for each other. This story is a perfect example, and keeps both men perfectly in character. Bond especially rings true, as he never becomes maudlin and realises his feelings through jealousy and possessiveness.

[James Bond]

Title: Hardly Chastened
Author: Apathy Jane [info]apatheia-jane
Summary: M punishes Bond with endless surveillance missions. He takes matters into his own hands.
Pairing: James Bond/OC
Rating: NC-17

Why?

Short and to the point, this captures the essence of Bond: a man who will do anything to get the job done. Extremely hot to boot.

Power of Persuasion, by Moofoot

2007-12-25

[James Bond]

Title: Power of Persuasion
Author: Moofoot [info]ramblinwanderer
Summary: If there's one thing Bond can't stand, it's not knowing all the answers, and that's the one thing that Villiers is betting on most.
Pairing: James Bond/Villiers
Rating: PG-13

Why?

I don't know what's up with the amount of Villiers fic we've got this year, but I approve wholeheartedly. We don't see enough of him in the movie to get a good grip of his character, but I really, really like this interpretation.

I also like a lot Bond's characterisation: a bit uncertain, a lot immature, but growing up and learning.

Queen of Spades, by Astolat

2007-08-19

[James Bond]

Title: Queen of Spades
Author: [info]astolat
Summary: "Bond," M said, as he paused in the doorway to hear her out, "the next time you do something like this will be once too many."
Pairing: James Bond/M
Rating: NC-17

Why?

Daniel Craig!James Bond had a lot of on-screen chemistry with Judi Dench!M; it was time someone wrote a fic featuring those two. Astolat captures their voices completely and writes the perfect piece.
