Why Hurt/Comfort 00Q Fanfiction Works So Well
James Bond/Q — Skyfall introduced a young quartermaster who met 007 in front of a painting and out-snarked him on sight. Ben Whishaw's Q handing Bond gadgets and exasperation through three films built one of movie fandom's biggest slash ships out of perhaps twenty minutes of screen time.
Hurt/Comfort — One character is hurt (physically or emotionally) and another provides comfort and care.
The blunt instrument and the man on the other end of the earpiece — competence, dry wit, and a hacker who always brings him home. The vulnerability, the tenderness, seeing characters take care of each other in their worst moments. That's why hurt/comfort 00Q fanfiction is one of the most consistently popular combinations on AO3.
