    Summary

    The irony is the point. A phrase that starts as deflection, becomes code for something physical, becomes Kate’s way of saying stop doing this, and eventually becomes exactly what it says it is.

    OR

    An emergency department hospital fic where Yelena is an attending, Kate is a resident, and things keep happening between shifts that neither of them are fully equipped to name.

    Summary

    Yelena squares her shoulders and lifts her head up, ready for a fight. There’s a hundred arguments on the tip of her tongue, but when her eyes lock with Kate’s every single one of them falls away. What she sees on Kate’s blue eyes is so familiar that she had never seen it anywhere but in the mirror, and it feels like diving head first into ice cold water.

    She takes a step back and raises her hands as a sign of peace much like Kate had done a few minutes earlier, choosing to deescalate the situation before Kate draws her bow and she finds out if third time really is the charm.

    “You really should’ve just given the flash drive to us,” Yelena says with a tired sigh. 

    “You should’ve asked nicely.”

     

    Or: Set after the events of Thunderbolts*, Kate and Yelena are searching for their purpose when they cross paths and find that maybe they're more similar than they once thought. And maybe they don't have to search alone.

    Summary

    Kate Bishop wakes up in a safehouse with broken ribs, a concussion, and Yelena Belova standing guard at the door.

    Apparently someone put a hit out on her.
    Apparently half of New York is looking for her.
    And apparently Yelena was supposed to be watching her long before any of this started.

    Now Yelena has made the worst decision possible: she interfered.

    Summary

    Hanahaki. The disease of unrequited love.

    It seemed absolutely ludicrous - a disease so rare and so beyond reason that most people dismissed it as a hoax or sheer fiction. But in a world with aliens and wizards and magic gemstones that rewrite reality, maybe it wasn’t so far outside of the scope of possibility. It still seemed completely absurd though. Besides, she didn’t love Kate Bishop, right? Kate was her friend. One of the only real friends she’d ever had since Ohio, and the only current one outside of some of the freed Widows. And she wasn’t going to ruin that with something as stupid as love.

    So no, unrequited love was a bullshit explanation. Unfortunately, it was also the only explanation she had, and even more unfortunately, it meant she was probably dying. Of lovesickness and flowers. 

    So not a cool way to die.

    -

    Yelena goes back for that drink with Kate Bishop and ends up developing feelings for her new friend. Feelings that cause her to start coughing up flowers, which is incredibly inconvenient.

    As best I can, this will be canon through Thunderbolts*

    Summary

    When Yelena was 6 years old she only had Natasha and Natasha only had her. So it's a little strange to see Natasha, 20 years later, with what Natasha calls a family but Yelena sees as a large dysfunctional group. But she's here whether she wants to be or not. So she might as well embrace it. But it's definitely not because of the tall charismatic bartender who happens to be the only one Yelena tolerates.

    or

    Yelena moves in with Natasha after an attempt and her struggling alcohol addiction and just so happens to meet Natasha's new found family and bartender Kate Bishop who teaches Yelena a new meaning to the word temptation.
