Summary
The cold metal of the gun barrel presses harder into the spot between his eyes.
“Witnesses aren’t a luxury I can afford, O.X.E,” The Widow muses in fluent English, velvety as a cobra’s dance, strike imminent— she squeezes her thighs iron-tight around his windpipe, heels locked together, the hand clawed in his hair yanking it back, making sure it tilts far back enough for him to get a good, hard look at his executioner. She cocks her head. “So, why do you keep testing me?”
There’s a multitude of reasons for tracking down a target— suspicious activity, a reason for intervention, a tip-off, a shadow-op, a direct order— All of these are realistic players in this messed up game of chess; this deck of cards he’d been saddled with by his circumstances and all the powers that be, the people who insist he does good so much, he becomes it.
This particular assassin, however?
“Morbid curiosity,” Bob answers.
The gun fires.
Best to get it inside your head now, Mr. Reynolds. There’s nothing more disarming than a person you would die for.

Summary
“Would you ever do it?”
“Do what?” She responds, lining up her next shot.
“Get married to stay?” Bob clarifies.
The cue scratches the table hard enough to rip the felt lining.
With Yelena's visa about to expire and her impending return to Mother Russia approaching, Bob offers her a way to stay with her sister. All she needs to do is marry her best friend for a year. It's a nearly perfect solution once all their friends agree to keep the secret. Now, all they have to do is avoid falling in love with each other.
Or the marriage of convenience between Bob and Yelena that no one asked for!

Summary
Yelena sees Bob start to rise, to reach for the latch securing the back doors, and – she lunges for him, grabs his arm, and pulls him back before she can think twice about it.
OR
Bob's heroic sacrifice is slightly delayed – and he’s unceremoniously dragged into the back of a stolen OXE truck and carted away by the Thunderbolts. With their erstwhile savior in such rough shape, it only makes sense that they stop for the night at a motel along the way, just until he’s well enough to call on his newfound powers again. Yelena doesn’t like the idea of leaving him alone until he’s fully recovered, and there aren’t enough rooms for each of them anyway, so the solutions seems obvious: she’ll stay with Bob and look after him as needed. It’s only logical, isn’t it?
And this desire to stay near him… well, that’s natural too, right? It’s just… concern, that’s all.

Summary
“You’ll always have me.” The words rolled so easily off his tongue that she wanted to believe him. That it hurts her, how cynical she’s grown, to make her first reaction a scoff, to discredit the love he so carefully places in her heart.

Summary
Yelena dragged her hands heavily down her face, only to pause when she felt an unfamiliar, smooth object pulling at the skin of her left cheek. She pulled the corresponding hand away from her face and stretched it out in front of her.
On her ring finger sat a plain gold band.
A plain gold band that definitely wasn't there yesterday.
(Or: Bob and Yelena accidentally get married in Vegas.)

“You shouldn’t smoke,” Yelena says, her hand outstretched to him.
Bob lends her his cigarette, amused by her mannerism. He almost forgot that he got fired from class earlier and that hell is probably waiting for him at home.
“As far as I know, you’re not supposed to sneak into the principal’s office either.”--------------
Bob is a troubled kid about to quit high school.
Yelena is an undercover agent of the Red Room on mission with her fake family.
They are about to change each other's life trajectory. -

Summary
The hero Sentry was about to get married when his fiancée cheated on him. The good news? No one knew who his fiancée was, which made his boss, Valentina, have the brilliant idea of simply finding someone to replace her.
Yelena was the perfect choice, military trained, intelligent and working for the UN, there was no better person to be Robert's wife. A marriage by contract, for a settled period, that would help both parties.
There was just one problem, there was something Yelena was clearly hiding from everyone.
Fake marriage au!

Summary
Yelena Belova stares up at the plaque– the Battle of New York Memorial, listing the names of those who first assembled in midtown Manhattan. All names she’d gotten familiar with those first few months after destroying the Red Room; those first months where her only focus had been free will, character agency, and the Widows, when it should've been– it should’ve been– family.
Natasha Romanoff’s name blends in unassumingly within the roster of men– the fifth out of six– as if determined to lay low undercover even in death.
Death. Natasha Romanoff was dead.
A week after half the universe's population returns, Yelena visits Trinity Church Cemetery. There, within the darkness, a light in the form of an equally broken man guides her way through the sorrow.

“Wait!” Bob lunges forward before Yelena can take so much as a single step, grabbing her by the wrist. “You’re not wearing a parachute!”
Yelena's eyebrows shoot upward, highly amused. “Not wearing–? Bob, whatever gave you that idea?”
Bob falters, mouth bobbing around soundless words, suddenly unsure. He squints at her gray sweater, as if he could make out the object out by sheer will alone. “... Are you?”
“Yes, of course, Bob– what do you take me for? Look, see?” Yelena points to her chest, urging him to lean closer for a better look. “Right here, this spot right here, that little dark bit you see that blends with the light and the dark, that is the—”
Her hands shoot out without warning, shoving a screaming Bob off the ledge.
Or: Yelena helps Bob face his fear of heights, among other things.

Summary
Silence fell. Alexei lifted his hands up. “Well, what are we waiting for?” he shouted, gesturing at everything: the monitor showing the falling engine in real time, the countdown, the communications from the teams, the images of terror-stricken refugees filing into a temporary neighborhood in New Asgard, in Manitoba, in Ohio and Wakanda and China. Someone had set a fire in protest outside the United Nations. Smoke rose, obscuring the flags. “NOAA said this morning that all of the Eastern Seaboard needs to be evacuated. American refugees are flooding into Canada. Too many tensions, huh? Going to cause a war if we don’t do something. So what are we waiting for?”
“A vote.” Bucky’s voice was sour and quiet as he shoved off from the wall and walked over. “We’re a team. We act like one. So we’ll vote on it.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When a falling hunk of space junk threatens the fate of the planet, the New Avengers (and Bob) must make a choice: risk the Void, or save the world? But the Void has plans of his own, and Yelena is always nearby...
