    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.

    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

    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.
