Summary
Hermione willed herself to say something, anything, but her mouth had gone suddenly dry. Harry stepped closer and slid his fingers beneath the strap of her bag, the edge of his forefinger just barely grazing the skin of her neck as he took it from her shoulder. “That’d be me."
A little white lie to get out of a date with Cormac leads to more than either Hermione or Harry expected.

Summary
“Obviously you only have to mention us. We’ve managed to go seventeen years without shagging.”
Ten years after the war has ended Harry and Hermione are both single at the same time. The two of them now spend their Friday evenings together hanging out together after their work weeks. Some careless remark from Seamus about if men and woman can really ever just be friends leads to a series of awkward, silly, smutty, mostly happy events. A loosely inspired homage to the classic Romantic Comedy "When Harry Met Sally." -

“Well, let’s get you warmed up. What’ll it be? Long black?”
Her face shifted then as a hint of a smile dared to take hold of her bottom lip. “Do…do you actually know my usual order? I’m impressed.”Or...
The one where Steve and Nancy were never involved with the Upside Down and life in Hawkins is just a little bit different. -

Summary
When Kate Bishop is sent on a mission that goes sideways, Yelena enlists the help of another, retired, archer to bring her home. Little does she realize what awaits them.
Part 2 of this series. But readable as a stand-alone! (I think)

Bookmarker's Notes
The one with nods to Alice in Wonderland, where Kate goes a little bad moon rising.

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
Glancing over at Yelena, she is still reading whatever was sent to her. “What is it?”
Those green eyes flicker over towards Kate then, just as Yelena turns her phone away so Kate can't read it. “What does yours say?”
Kate shrugs, “you know, details about a thing…might be the same as your thing.”
“Maybe.” Yelena maintains eye contact and Kate finds herself getting lost again. Wanting to push and tease, to wipe that growing smirk off of Yelena’s mouth with her own. “Ava can be very detail oriented when she wants to be.”
“Yeah, yeah same…Kamala, details as big as the fists she can make, you know?”
Yelena shakes her head. “I don’t know that, actually. She doesn’t speak to me much.”
“Yeah you kind of intimidate her.”
“Good.”

Summary
“What do you mean you’ve brought the woman who tried to kill you home for the holidays?”
Set post-Hawkeye. After clashing over the number of forks a single person should own (as well as a bunch of other things), Kate and Yelena crash the Barton family Christmas.
This is a story set (mostly) in that liminal time between Christmas and New Year’s. Comes with a dash of angst and a sprinkle of (belated) holiday cheer!
