    Summary

    What began as a sham and a contract can turn into something far more real than either of them ever imagined.

    Kate Bishop has been the CEO of the family company ever since she married cybersecurity architect Yelena Belova. They didn’t come together for love, at least, not in the beginning, but things never go as planned, and everything shifted once living together and truly getting to know each other altered the agreement.

    Hopelessly in love, Kate and Yelena now have to face their new reality: being married, loving each other, and trying to figure out how to make it work.

    In truth, it’s both more beautiful and more difficult than either of them expected. But they wouldn’t change it for anything.

    Summary

    "So what's a city girl doing here?" Kate smiled, charmingly, brightly.

    Yelena blushed, looking at her with a small frown that didn't seem as bothersome as she would have liked. "Look who's talking."

     

    After she tried to kill herself, Natasha takes her sister with her to Iowa. There are some things that neither love nor family can heal, but maybe showing Yelena that she's not alone will be enough. Even if it's just a little.

    Summary

    Beatrice hissed and winced at the contact. Ava pulled her hands away instantly. The worry in Ava's voice was obvious. The soft, concerned look she gave her threatened to bring tears to Beatrice's eyes. She averted her gaze to her lap. “I just... I need... I...” she stumbled over her words. Partly because she didn't know what she needed, partly because Ava rendered her speechless sometimes. Mostly because she knew what she needed and wanted, but would never have. Could never have.

    “Please look at me, Bea.” Ava lifted her fingers tentatively, pressing right below Beatrice's chin and urging it up. “Whatever it is, it's okay. I've got you,” Ava assured her with a smile.

    OR The halo has a trick up its imaginary sleeve, forcing them to face their feelings earlier (like episode S02E05).

    Summary

    “I love you.” Ava says and Beatrice’s heart soars and shatters at the same time.

    “No, Ava, don’t, we can’t.”

    “We already have, Bea. And I know, that’s why I’m saying it, so it can be said and then it can die.”

    (Or; Ava is a painter who is married to JC, Beatrice is a journalist who hasn't seen JC in seven years and JC, well, he has his own shit going on)
