Summary
Yelena was trying valiantly to adjust to the world around her, but it was harder than she thought it would be. Being abruptly yanked out of chemical subjugation had been disorienting at best and dehumanizing at worst, as she tried and failed to learn how to be a person again.
At least before the Blip, she’d had Natalia to guide her. Now, Yelena had no one.
…Or so she thought.

Summary
Kate was officially Hawkeye 2.0. She was real superhero now! But she was also a post-grad student that just got fast-tracked into becoming New York's youngest CEO. Now, at 24 years old and well-established with her team of Young Avengers, she was supposed to be kicking butt and saving lives.
She was definitely not supposed to be dragging unconscious, drunk assassins into her apartment and forcing them to become her friend, but that was what happened. Of course.

Summary
Kate had the whole night planned out. They’d have dinner first, then drinks at the same bar where they had their first date. As soon as they returned home, Kate would pop the question. It was all going to be perfect, and hopefully, they’d end the night engaged.
The night went a bit differently than expected.

Summary
Powder was seven, then. It was her first hunt, and she’d only grown in her marksmanship since that day.
By the time she was twelve, she’d almost caught up to Vi’s record when she was the same age—five does and three bucks, twenty rabbits, seventeen squirrels, and two wild hogs. At seven, she was fresh off the boat, naive and dumb. At twelve, Powder knew everything there was to know about these woods, just like Vi and Vander.
At least, she thought they knew everything.
It turned out there was a lot about the woods in Zaun they didn’t know.

Summary
Kate was a light in the darkness, necessary to see what she was moving towards. She lifted up Yelena’s mood instantly, the mere sight of messy brown hair and startling blue eyes sending electric currents running through Yelena’s body like she’d stuck the tip of her knife in an outlet.
She lit up the darkest parts of Yelena’s mind without even trying to, and Yelena knew she couldn’t afford to lose that.

Summary
“You feel fulfilled?” she asked him, skeptical.
Alexei grabbed at his gut and gave her a toothy smile. “So full. So filled,” he said. He was telling the truth. Then his eyebrows scrunched back together as he asked her, “But what brings you here?”
Yelena hesitated to answer, as she felt that Alexei had no true concept of the complexity of his own question. “There is something wrong with me," she replied, eyes fixated on her fidgeting hands, hands that shed enough blood to fill the Pacific. “I cannot help but feel… unfulfilled.”

Summary
Kate still remembers the first day she ever saw Clint Barton, because it was also the day a Kaiju tore through the roof of her house, and she came face-to-face with the end of the world and its savior, all at once.

Summary
“Kate Bishop!” The Russian lilt of Yelena’s accent was probably Kate’s favorite part of hearing her name come out of the beautiful woman’s mouth. “You’ve been gone all day. I’ve missed you!”
Kate’s heart only beat faster at Yelena’s heartfelt comment, even if she knew that she was most likely just teasing her. She only met Yelena a few weeks prior, but since then, she’d gotten a pretty good sense of the blonde’s personality; flirty, witty, and only slightly unsettling at times.
It was a wild ride, for sure, but she hadn’t ever looked forward to leaving and coming home as much as she did now that Yelena was around.

Summary
“I was trying to study for Grafton’s class,” Tally breathes out, her breath hot and ticklish against her lips, “But all I could think about was you.”
So Sarah was not the only one unable to focus on her work.
“You have no idea how much I've wanted this all day.” Her voice is raspy in Sarah’s ear as she tugs at it with her teeth, making her groan softly and, oh, Sarah can guess.
