Word-Count: 66,236. Complete.
Notes: This fic was Brit-picked by the lovely and patient starsandgraces, who isn't even in this fandom but still put up with my badgering. I was encouraged by multiple enablers, including jou and flatbear, but all credit and gratitude goes to my beta circ_bamboo, who held my hand, cheered me on, read over every inch of this fic, plotted endlessly with me, and is hands-down the best writing partner in crime a fangirl could ask for. THANK YOU SO MUCH, BABY, ALL THE SCONES ARE FOR YOU. ♥

Summary: Q has a past, a cat, and a dangerous new boyfriend. Two of these things keep him up nights, the other pees in a box. Espionage, plot with porn, decoy flats, suit porn, scones for the Queen, invention porn, secret identities, snark, canon-typical violence, dysfuctional flirting by dysfunctional people, Eve Moneypenny is HBIC.

Chapter Nine. Sooner or later, the sun always rises.

Hello hello! For everyone who's wondering why the last chapter of Slow Dancing is taking so damn long (compared to how quickly previous updates came), just a quick note: I got influenza this week and it totally kicked my ass. So I'm putting finishing up the chapter aside while I catch up on school-work (I have 2 separate exams next week), and additionally, an old friend of mine is in town this weekend that I haven't seen since I moved away from California, so she also takes precedence.

I am anticipating having the fic done & posted by hopefully Wednesday at the very very latest and sooner if at all possible. There will also be a master-post put up at that time, with some art and a playlist. Thanks for reading & being patient, and sorry to leave you holding! ♥

Chapter Seven. The thing to remember is that it can always, always get worse.

Additional notes: This chapter & the one that follows it are the reasons that this fic has the "Canon-Typical Violence" tag. There are several visceral moments within, so proceed with some caution. My beta & I judged that there was nothing worse than what you saw in "Skyfall" and nothing as bad as "Casino Royale," however. Thanks again for reading.
