Summary
“I have not felt invincible lately,” she admits, “or strong.”
Clint’s silent for a moment, then says, “That doesn’t mean you aren’t. Showing up anyway makes you strong in my book. Nat would’ve been proud as hell, you know.”
Yelena swallows hard. “You sound like Bucky.”
It’s meant to tease, to deflect, but she’s sure he hears the tremble in her voice anyway.
---
On the fifth anniversary of Natasha’s death, Yelena lashes out, convinced she’s the only one who still cares. When things go too far, she retreats to Clint’s farm, where quiet truths wait to be spoken. Together, she and Clint navigate grief, guilt, and the messy business of learning to trust a team that doesn’t always feel like one.

Summary
“You knew it was bad,” Clint says, voice steady. “You knew it was getting worse. And you wouldn’t pull back.”
He lands another flurry of swats down low, emphasising his point, making sure she’ll remember it.
“You can’t afford that kind of pride out there, Kate. You don’t get extra credit for staying in a fight that should’ve been over.”
Kate shifts again, a sharp breath ripping through her teeth. Then, voice tight and strained, she snaps out, “I know!”
---
After a mission goes wrong, Kate heads to Clint’s farm looking for a place to catch her breath. She’s tired, flustered, and insisting everything’s fine. Clint knows better. He’s seen this pattern before and decides it’s time to put his foot down. Meanwhile, Yelena, still avoiding her teammates back in New York, finds herself drawn into the chaos.

Summary
Bucky just looks at her, long and steady, and something in her gut twists.
“You could’ve told us you were leaving,” he says finally.His voice is quiet. Not gentle. Just quiet, like he doesn’t need volume to make her hear it.
She lifts her chin. “I did not know I needed permission.”
“You didn’t,” Bucky replies. “But you could’ve picked up the phone.”
---
When the team forgot about the anniversary of Natasha's death Yelena ran to the other person left who loved her best, Clint. After a week with no word to her team, Clint steps in and contacts Bucky. Yelena gets a reminder that shutting them out won't stop them showing up, and that she matters more than she’s willing to admit.
Written for spanktember day 7: asking for it.
