Eve Moneypenny/Bill Tanner Tinyfics

Summary:

The 10-50 Meme: Pick a fandom. (Pick a pairing or character set, if you like.) Write 10 different categories of fic, each in 50 words or less.

Notes:

Here are more tinyfics from me again. I’m having so much fun writing these. 😆 (Though as always, trying to keep under 50 words is, well, trying. 👀)

Thanks to cosmo again for the beta. 💚

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Fluff 

Eve has a soft spot for limousines.

For their first date, she got a limo to pick them up from Six, and even had a red rose to give to Bill. 

A limo is also where they shared their first kiss—and their first love confessions.



Romance 

“Happy birthday, love,” Bill says and sets a cake dome on Eve’s desk. 

Eve blinks. “Did you bake me a birthday cake?” 

Bill nods. “I wanted to do something small to surprise you.” 

“You definitely managed that,” Eve says, getting up to hug her boyfriend. 

They eat the cake for lunch and leave together soon after. 



Established relationship 

There’s a frame on Bill’s desk with two photographs on it. 

One shows Eve facing the famous sunset view of Santorini island. The other shows them both sitting on a table at a taverna. They’re smiling and Eve is kissing Bill’s cheek, and they look so happy together.

Both were taken on their recent honeymoon. 



Getting together 

Eve chuckles at her fortune cookie. “Well, it’s not wrong.”

“What isn’t?” Bill asks. 

“‘Three can keep a secret, if you get rid of two’,” Eve recites.

Bill opens his fortune and raises an eyebrow. “‘You laugh now, wait till you get home’?” 

Eve grins. “Good thing there’s only two of us, eh?”



Mission fic 

“Close your eyes,” Eve says, eyeshadow at the ready. 

“Is this really necessary?” Bill asks.

”Yes. You can hardly go to a drag night without looking the part. Now shush.”

“And Q can’t do this because…?”

Eve rolls her eyes at her boyfriend. “He’d just distract 007 and potentially ruin the mission.”

She’s got a point, so Bill sighs and lets Eve work her magic.



Outsider pov 

You’ve been seeing Tanner stop by Moneypenny’s desk more often lately. You’re not really surprised though, after all she’s often the link between him and M. 

She smiles more often nowadays, too, but it’s probably the missions going well. 

The others smile knowingly at that. You wonder why, until one day you see Tanner kiss her cheek. 

And then you realise… 

Everybody knows but you. 



Hurt & comfort

Bill is at work when the news of Eve’s accident with her new motorbike comes. Immediately, he heads to the hospital to sit on his girlfriend’s bedside.

It turns out that she only got a minor arm fracture, and more importantly, her motorbike only needs a new paint job. 

“Worth it,” Eve murmurs, squeezing his hand. 



Coffee shop AU 

“A coffee, please,” Bill asks.

“Again?” The attractive barista smiles. “Are you sure you wouldn’t want to try something else? We’ve got really nice lattes, mochas, frappés, even chais.” 

“I don’t know what any of that means.”

She chuckles. “Shall I explain them to you?” 

Bill, who really only comes here for her, nods. “I’d love that.” 



Slice of Life 

“We’re not supposed to do this, are we?” Bill asks Eve, resigned, watching her skim through a very classified document. 

“Yes, dear, we are,” Eve replies. “M forgot he’s not told us everything, we’re just rectifying that mistake.”

“This is treason, you know,” Bill observes. 

Eve grins. “It’s only treason if we get caught.” 



Wings AU 

“I’ve made a terrible mistake.”

Bill looks up from his laptop and sees Eve who, for some inexplicable reason, now has the wings of a swan sprouting from her back. He sighs deeply. “Q Branch invention gone wrong?”

“Very wrong,” Eve says glumly. “This is the last time I let Q talk me into their shenanigans.”
