I don't think I've ever wandered off the rec-list path into the wilds of the Craig!Bond tag, but there's like one BNFish writer who's super into including Alec, right? So its probably spreading from there?
As a writer, I can understand wanting to tell a story and realizing it hinges on Bond having a BFF to counsel him, but as a reader, I am totally only interested in Bond being stoic and aloooooone, or snarky and detached and screwing everyone but Q, or just as a totally opaque box for Q to puzzle out, in which case who cares if he's got a friend or not?
If only Felix had been played by a dude who smoldered tragically through several blockbuster films. We could have had it alllllll.
