    Summary

    “I never said you needed protecting,” he said, more firmly now. “I worry. That’s different.”

    Her jaw tightened. “Is it?”

    Bob’s eyes blazed for a moment, stepping closer. Yelena had to crane her head up to look at him, her arms folded defensively over her chest. She could feel the heat radiating off of him. He was very close.

    “I’m starting to think that you want a reason to fight with me,” Bob said after a quiet moment.

    She wanted to say something - anything - but the words were jammed in her throat. And now, looking at him, she suddenly didn’t know how to explain herself. Not to this version of Bob, the one who stood taller now, steadier, more confident, who flew into hurricanes like it was nothing. After months of training and super hero-ing, he was stronger, clearer, sure of himself.

    And she… wasn’t.

    Bob didn’t press. He just stood there in silence, rain-drenched, patient, watching her with gentle, steady eyes. The glow in them had dimmed, fading slowly back to brown, like the storm inside him was calming too.

    Finally, she said, quieter, “I don’t want to fight with you.”

    “I don’t want to fight with you either.” His voice was soft and sad.

    Summary

    After a chaotic depressing year, Yelena is finally reconnecting with her friends-savoring the bittersweet taste of starting life over from scratch (again). What she didn't expect was to meet a man at the bar who would mess with her brain chemistry more effectively than any vodka ever could.
    For Bob, a russian woman walking into an Irish bar sounds like a setup for a bad joke. What he didn't know was that the joke would stick around...and slowly rewrite the punchline of his life.

    Summary

    "He follows her around like a lost puppy.”

    "Well, she is the first one who went in after him, you know?" Alexei replies, sounding defensive. "They have... a understanding. A connection, ever since the shame rooms."

    "Is that all it is?" Ava asks with a headtilt, one eyebrow raised.

    "If it is more, I feel bad for that boy. Yelena never showed any interest in such things even as little girl."

    As the Thunderbolts learn to live together and save the world from a new threat, Bob tries to also learn to control his powers and Yelena learns new things about herself. Will she be able to come to terms with those things?

    Summary

    “You're supposed to be helping with the dishes.”

    “I am helping,” Yelena mumbles around the spoon in her mouth. Bob shoots her a speculative side eye but say nothing.

    “Supervision is helping.”

    Snorting his disbelief rather than engaging, Bob returns to his work, pretending to studiously ignore the way her pink tongue licked at her cereal spoon, like a kitten desperate for the last remnants of cream.

    For all his pretending, the subtle reddening of his cheeks, and the way his tongue peeks out to lick at his lips as if he can taste her, is a dead giveaway that she has his attention.

    Summary

    Then there’s Bob, straight across from her in the back of the room, in the corner again. His hair is dusty and he’s in this blue sweater and sweatpants riddled with holes from when he stepped in for the mission he wasn’t supposed to be on. He’s looking at the pantsuit-woman, with his hands hanging loose against his sides like he hasn’t got a thing to hide. Yelena had seen him only hours earlier in the vivid coloring of an East Coast sunset, getting shot at by multiple field agents with a diverse variety of arms and numerous rounds of ammunition. He’d refused to standby while they sent in an extraction team - humans he said the minute they stepped into the tower.

    Just Bob, she thinks, watching his hand go further up right before she meets his eyes -

    Bob, who’s caught her staring at him.

    Summary

    “Did you want to talk about anything?” she asked before she could lose her nerve about it.

    “What, um,” he said, and immediately there was the guard on his face, the mask. “What did— what do I— what do you think I might want to talk about?”

    Yelena swallowed. The doors were still open. “Oh, I don’t know. Uh, like the, uh, crazy things my dad says. Like, maybe if you wanted to talk about that, I thought, you know, you could come in and we could talk about that.”

    Bob didn’t move for a moment. His dark eyes were fixed on the floor, on the crack between the elevator and the floor to her room. On the void between, tiny and endless, a crack of pitch blackness in the building that eyes never saw and a finger couldn’t fit into, but a void all the same. “Do you… want to talk about that?” he asked, his voice quiet and low and cautious.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In the aftermath of the Void, Bob and Yelena work through some stuff together.

    Summary

    “I can see your artistic voice starting to emerge.” He’s quiet for a while, considering. “But you’re still holding back, like with your landscape. I can feel your creativity, your enjoyment of the medium, but it’s missing something deeper.”

    Osha’s heart rate picks up speed. The problem is that her most overwhelming emotions are all dangerous. “Maybe I just can’t go deeper.”

    “Can’t? Or don’t want to?” Qimir turns from her painting, looking down at her. His dark eyes pierce into hers, full of understanding, perceiving her to a degree that leaves her aching. “What are you so afraid of?”

    ---

    College Sophomore Osha is perfectly content with her choice to pursue a Mechanical Engineering degree. But when she needs an elective to round out her coursework for the semester, Mae convinces her to join Intro to Studio Painting. There she encounters Professor Qimir Stranger, who turns her whole world upside down.

    Summary

    Osha looks up into dark eyes. She hadn't noticed the bartender earlier, too lost in her own recollections. He's tall and lanky, wrapped in loose clothing that hangs off his form in muted colours, yet there's a sharpness to his face and a keenness in his gaze. Even though his jawline is scruffy and he looks in desperate need of a shave and a bath, there's a presence there. An aura.

    (or, osha meets qimir three years before canon and they fuck.)

    “You’re Jordan’s wife?”

    If anyone in their town would’ve gone out looking for a foreign beauty, it would’ve been Jordie. He had an adventurer’s spirit, bold and daring. If Maja squinted at the old rope swing by the lake, she could still see the silhouette of him, leaping into the water while Kasper worried from his perch on the banks.

    But Inej’s face freezes in an odd expression. “Not quite,” she says haltingly. “I’m married to his younger brother – Kaz?”

    ---

    Or, the town of Lij is endlessly fascinated with the mysterious Mr. and Mrs. Rietveld each and every time they visit.

    Kaz’s.
