    Summary

    “You look good in my clothes."

    “I look good in anything, Kate Bishop,” Yelena says matter-of-factly, grabbing the remote from the top of the dresser before unceremoniously dropping down on top of the covers, making herself at home in Kate’s bed.

    Her smile morphs into a more guarded frown when Kate lies down next to her.

    "The fact I am in your bed right now does not mean we are going to have sex.”

    “Okay,” Kate says, stretching the word. “To be honest I didn’t think we were.”

    or

    The one where Yelena is a little bit older than Kate; Kate is a double-texter, and Lucky is adorable.

    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.

    Summary

    Somehow, despite waking up in a random strangers apartment and spending the better part of her morning running away from a looming cloud of complete darkness that twisted and turned her city into chaos, the most surprising part of Kate's day is when Yelena is suddenly at her door in the middle of the night

    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.
