    Summary

    "There's something wrong with me. An emptiness. I thought throwing myself into work would make it go away but....."
    Alexei regards her with concern. Melina squeezes her hand gently.

    "It is okay to feel lost, Yelena. In my opinion, perhaps you need a friend."

    She would be okay with the idea of a friend, if she was not sure that her entire world would come to an end if she lost Kate Bishop. Because Yelena always loses the people who matter most.

    Or: glimpses in time that span across many months of Yelena pining for Kate. I gave Yelena her own pov and we're hanging on for the ride.

    Summary

    "How long?"

    “How long what?”

    “Have you been in love with her.”

    Had it been said in any other way, by anyone else, at any other time, Yelena would have broken their neck.

    Or

    Yelena doesn't do feelings.

    She certainly doesn't have feelings about Kate getting engaged to Eli, she simply thinks her best friend can do better. But if Kate won't listen to her superb advice, what can she do? She doesn't have any horse in this game, or whichever of those ridiculous American sayings Kate is always using. She doesn’t care that her best friend, the most compassionate person she knows, is promising her future to someone who peaked in high school and now coasts on his grandparents' legacy.

    Kate can do whatever she wants, Yelena doesn’t care.

    Summary

    Some heroes were made by fate. Kate Bishop had made herself.

    Yelena takes in the sight of Kate’s arms covered in Minion-themed bandaids, the black eye creeping out under the obnoxious purple frames of her custom sunglasses; Lucky’s dog leash tangles between the archer’s legs and she stumbles in an attempt to remain standing.

    “Kate,” Yelena states flatly, “you look like a total asshole.” Kate nods like she knows this already.

    OR: the underground criminal network bites back: in which kate bishop crushes on her roommate, runs the bodega out of bandaids, and tells her mom to fuck off. oh, and drags along an assassin (hot) and two dogs (brainless) with her.
