    Summary

    Varnish, in painting, is applied last. It deepens the colors and unifies the surface so the viewer sees cohesion instead of process. It is what allows a work to survive scrutiny under bright lights. It protects a painting just like public personas protect them. When it thins, truth shows through and the fragile question of whether it survives exposure.

    Kate understands this intimately. She builds her life the same way she builds a canvas. Her vulnerability exists only in oils and linen, never in conversation. The world only sees saturation and brilliance. It does not see the underpainting she keeps correcting.

    Until someone finally does.

    Summary

    Kate Bishop woke up trapped in a sealed room, only by completing the tasks could get out of.
    The choice was brutally simple: Violence…or Sex.
    And her only company was the blonde black widow she hadn’t seen since that chaotic night in NYC, with a new haircut.

    Summary

    Yelena leaned in, pressing her lips to Kate’s for a brief moment. A sharp taste of salt and blood lingered on her mouth; she hated the sensation, but said nothing.

    “There. A real kiss, then. I hope you’re satisfied,” she said as she pulled back, her eyes finding Kate’s again. “Now, can we change the subject?”

    A small, mischievous smile lit up Kate’s face for a few seconds.

    “It seems like you’ve kissed me back to life at least twice today, love.”

    A faint blush rose to the Widow’s cheekbones as, in her arms, pressed close to her, Kate gradually relaxed. As if that small, tender gesture—that simple kiss—had drained some of her tension away.

    OR - A cargo ship, a mission gone wrong, Kate going through hell, Yelena doing everything to keep her close, and everything that comes before, during and after.
