Summary
She was trying valiantly to adjust to the world around her, but it was harder than she thought it would be. Being abruptly yanked out of chemical subjugation had been disorienting at best and dehumanizing at worst, as she tried and failed to learn how to be a person again.
At least before the Blip, she’d had Natalia to guide her. Now, Yelena had no one.
…Or so she thought.

Summary
Aaliyah knows only one way to survive: run. She’s left behind a world that claimed everything from her, slipping into shadows to protect the life growing quietly within. On her first night in a foreign city, fear and loneliness press in, the weight of everything she’s lost feeling unbearable—and in a moment of unexpected danger, a stranger steps in. Cruz, with a quiet strength and steady presence, cuts through her chaos. For the first time, Aaliyah wonders if there might be light beyond the shadows.

Summary
"Holy hell!" Kate gasps, eyes wide with shock. "It's Hawkeye! The Hawkeye! The Avenger! In...whatever room this is. Wait, where am I? Why is Hawkeye here? Oh my God, did I die? Is this heaven?"
...
“Kate Bishop...” Yelena swallows, nausea quickly building. “Are you being serious? Please tell me you’re playing a really cruel joke. I do not like this… Please stop.”
“Stop what? If anything, there’s a joke being played on me! But if it means meeting Hawkeye, then I don’t mind.”
“I’ll get the doctor. Clint, come with me,” Laura says quickly, already heading for the door, Clint following with an uneasy look.
Kate turns to Yelena. “Hawkeye is here. Oh my god. I can’t believe it. Can you believe it? Oh yeah, who are you, by the way? Sorry if that sounds rude.”///
AKAThe one where Kate doesn’t remember anything about Christmas 2024 and beyond after a mission gone wrong. Set 7 months post-canon.

Summary
“Yeah, unless I don’t finish my degree.” It’s a grumpy little mumble, barely meant for Yelena, but she responds to it nevertheless.
“What do you mean?“ she demands. “You only have a small amount of time left! Why would you stop now?”
“I don’t know,” Kate murmurs, and Yelena is bewildered to hear a faint echo in her own emptiness, coming from nearly six thousand kilometers away. “I just don’t really know what to do now, I guess. Clint says I’m the new Hawkeye, but that’s not official or anything. And even when it is, it’s going to be a lot of training. So I’m waiting to wait, or something, and — and I don’t know why I’m talking to you about this, actually.”
“Sometimes, it’s nice to just talk,” Yelena thinks and then says. “But I don’t think you should drop out of school, Kate Bishop. School is cool.”

(Yelena decides to go to college. It just so happens to be the same one Kate Bishop attends.)

Summary
After Clint Barton died saving the world, Kate Bishop lost her childhood hero and the ideal that a normal person could truly be a hero, so she focused instead on her family, and wound up neck deep in the inner city crime syndicate run by Wilson Fisk.
It started as a way to protect her mom, who lost herself in that life after her husband was killed in the Battle of New York. All Kate wanted was to get them out, but they're so entangled in Fisk's web it seems impossible now.
However, when a pretty girl named Yelena suddenly shows up in her life, with more secrets than Kate ever could have imagined, her whole world gets turned upside down.
