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
“So I was wondering,” said Virgil one night when Gabrielle was sufficiently healed from her run-in with the cannibals that she no longer winced when she twisted her torso, “and this might be a cliche, but I was wondering if I could take you to a nice tavern sometime.”

Virgil might not have made a few crucial connections…

Summary
After a bad decision, Kate Bishop has lost confidence in her leadership abilities. With no powers, No Magic, no metal suit, and only her bow and arrows, she feels out of place. In an attempt to help Kate regain her confidence, Clint convinces Fury to assign her a solo mission. It should be low risk. The building should be empty, and Kate should be back by now.
But, she’s overdue, and Clint is left wondering: where in the world is Kate Bishop?
Or
Kate never lets them know her next move, Ana is practicing gentle parenting, Sonya is cackling in the back and Yelena is chronically confused.

Summary
"You're illegal," Valentina says, blunt, impatient, annoyed.
"Undocumented," Mel corrects hastily.
"And?" Yelena raises an eyebrow. "Would you like one of my many entirely legitimate American passports?" She folds her arms lazily over her chest.
"The world knows your real name now." Valentina folds her hands primly in her lap. "Your passports won't help you. You need another way to legitimize yourself. This is the fastest way."

Summary
“Literally everyone in this room understands her,” James mutters under his breath.
Clint snickers. “Think she cares?”
“She’ll care when she figures out Kate can understand her,” Natasha says with a laugh.
Yelena keeps flirting with Kate in Russian, and Natasha wonders how long it'll take for her to figure out Kate understands what she's saying.

Summary
Of all the places Yelena imagined finding a girlfriend, the dumpsters behind her building were, for some reason, the last place she’d ever think to look. But hey, at least now she can finally get her mother to stop asking why she's still single.
or
Kate is a vigilante with too many injuries to count. Yelena is a former assassin with some questionable first aid skills—that’s almost the same as a doctor, right?
/
Yelena never becomes a contract killer. Kate never puts on the Ronin suit. Years later, their paths cross anyway.Bookmarked by Steely_Blue

Summary
Kate always seems to check in when she needs it most. Those blood-red hours of the night where she hangs her head off the bed like a murderer sentenced to a guillotine, waiting for the blade to fall. Those corner-of-the-room moments where she knits shadows over her body like a blanket, lets them weigh her down and down and down into nothing. Where she thinks about her sister. Where she thinks about the Red Room.
In a quiet, sheltered corner of Yelena's heart, it's always December. Kate decides to make it mean something softer.

Summary
There are a few things Yang knows for sure: nothing beats a fresh snowfall; all skiers are total nerds; her sister has never done anything wrong in her entire life; and every single time Blake Belladonna smiles at her, she feels like she’s at the top of her favorite slope, heart in her throat, board hanging over the edge. (She also knows that, someday soon, she’s going to have to do something about that last one.)

Summary
EDIT: PUT ON HOLD FOR NOW.
In a desperate bid for peace before famine would claim both sides, Jaina Proudmoore and Sylvanas Windrunner have arranged a marriage with love neither lost nor gained between them.

Jaina resigns herself to life next to a loathsome creature she has only known as a monster and an enemy. Sylvanas prepares to walk a fine line balancing the wills of distrustful Horde factions and secret allies.
The foremost being Queen Azshara of the Naga with whom she has struck an uneasy pact, a pact where the stipulated price is Jaina.
Set in the Battle for Azeroth time period of World of Warcraft. Tags and rating may change as the story progresses.

Summary
Beginning just after the end of "A Friend in Need," this story finds a way for Xena and Gabrielle to have their baklava and eat it too. Sometimes it pays to have a Greek god who's halfway at least in love with you.
Or: how we get Xena back without invalidating her sacrifice.
Note: I tagged it for Major Character Death because, well, because "A Friend in Need," but the whole point of the story is fixing that, so....

Summary
“When I asked if you were sure,” Robin added, softer, “I meant the breaking-and-entering part. The fence. The maybe-getting-arrested part. The my college applications die in prison part.”
“Oh.” Nancy’s brows knit, then smoothed. Her chin lifted a fraction, a sly smile tugging at her lips. “We won’t get caught. No cameras. No alarms on the back door. And the fence—”
Robin was already moving. She dropped to one knee in front of it and laced her fingers together, bracing her thigh like a human step stool. “Your chariot awaits, your Highness.”
Nancy stared at her, then stepped closer. One hand settled on Robin’s shoulder. Her fingers slid upward—adjusting Robin’s collar, the back of them brushing the hollow of her throat. Robin shivered.
“Are you sure?” Nancy asked quietly, worrying her bottom lip.
“Dead serious,” Robin swallowed. “Though I’d really prefer if no interdimensional monsters showed up to prove it.”
Or,
Robin met her soulmate somewhere between Russian torture and an interdimensional monster — and now she has absolutely no recollection of it. Fortunately, Steve Harrington has decided they’re going to find them anyway. Even if the answer might be right in front of her.
