Good Names are Forever by Alexis_Tenshi

Yesterday was unofficially Tenshi Day and in her honour, I tried my hand at a bit of a photo manipulation. It probably fills done scavenger hunt item for fest, but I’ll figure that out later.

If you haven’t read this fic, go do so - you’re in for a treat!

GOLDENEYE (1995) / SKYFALL (2012)

(In celebration of Tenshi Day—07/14/2026)

I don't, admittedly, have the spoons to create something today. But while I did the Octopuzzly of the day (lovely homage, btw, @myndelling & @gloomymegu), I couldn't just sit there and not participate in Tenshi Day any further. Therefore, I present to you these two companion pieces, which I completed some months ago and showed to my friends on Discord—but somehow never posted here.

They are, I think, the best photomanips (if not artworks) I have ever made. I've never felt that either of these movies got the official posters they deserved, and perhaps you remember this is not my first foray into "fan-poster'ing" for GoldenEye (my literal first post on tumblr). This new GoldenEye was inspired by my favorite Brosnan era poster (the white version of The World is Not Enough), while the Skyfall is a gift to @prismatic-bell... and all my 00q friends who wish that the official promo was prettier to hang on their wall, and featured Q where he belongs. And for the bondalec crowd... Alec too, incidentally.

(They're half the size of actual one sheet movie posters, btw)

I hope @tentacletenshi can see these, somehow. Photomanipping was one of her loves, and now definitely one of enduring legacies. She was a pillar of both 00q and bondalec—and still is, in a way. I have mourned her, and I miss her, and I'm glad the fandom celebrates her today.

Fire Hazard - Bill Tanner/Alec Trevelyan - G

Written for @myndelling for the Collab table. (Prompt: “Do we need a fire extinguisher to deal with those candles?”)

Alec Trevelyan surveys the scene before him with satisfaction. No one gets to tell him he’s not romantic and live to tell the tale. If one measly candle on the table is considered the height of romance, his candlelit dinner blows that out of the water, that’s for damn sure.

And if all else fails, he has champagne and chocolate dipped strawberries waiting in the fridge.

“I didn’t know your power got cut out,” Bill says from the doorway, voice dry.

Alec turns to face him, delighted. “You’re early.”

Bill makes a point of looking through the sheer amount of candles meticulously arranged around Alec’s best china. It’s a sign of his ingenuity in engineering that there’s any room for those, really, as there’s none left for the serving plates.

"Do we need a fire extinguisher to deal with those candles?" he asks.

It’s as if Bill doesn’t know him at all. It’s probably all that time spent with Q and Moneypenny, Alec surmises. More’s the pity.

He affects a wounded look. “Don’t you appreciate my efforts to make date night special?”

“Appreciate, yes,” Bill replies mildly. “Feel bad for the curtains when they inevitably catch fire, emphatically also yes.”

I love fic that gives Tanner some love. This though… *chef’s kiss* 💚 Well done, @melynen !!!
