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.Bookmarked by breakingstanding

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.

Summary
"You're illegal," Valentina says, blunt, impatient, annoyed.
"Undocumented," Mel corrects hastily.
"And?" Yelena raises an eyebrow. "Would you like one of my many entirely legitimate American passports?" She folds her arms lazily over her chest.
"The world knows your real name now." Valentina folds her hands primly in her lap. "Your passports won't help you. You need another way to legitimize yourself. This is the fastest way."

Summary
“Hello, Kate Bishop, you can put the knife down.”
Kate frowns, tucking the knife closer to her side without thinking. “I’m not holding a knife.”
“You’re a terrible liar,” Yelena says, head tilted to the side in the most disarming way possible. “My knife is not currently in my hand,” Yelena holds up both hands, palms facing Kate. “See?” She wiggles her fingers and Kate swallows the lump in her throat. “I’m not here to fight or frighten you.”
Kate scoffs, “you don’t frighten me.”
“Not today, no.”

Summary
Glancing over at Yelena, she is still reading whatever was sent to her. “What is it?”
Those green eyes flicker over towards Kate then, just as Yelena turns her phone away so Kate can't read it. “What does yours say?”
Kate shrugs, “you know, details about a thing…might be the same as your thing.”
“Maybe.” Yelena maintains eye contact and Kate finds herself getting lost again. Wanting to push and tease, to wipe that growing smirk off of Yelena’s mouth with her own. “Ava can be very detail oriented when she wants to be.”
“Yeah, yeah same…Kamala, details as big as the fists she can make, you know?”
Yelena shakes her head. “I don’t know that, actually. She doesn’t speak to me much.”
“Yeah you kind of intimidate her.”
“Good.”

Summary
Yelena is standing right in front of her, arms still in front of her like she’s ready to block a punch (because that’s what they’re doing, they’re literally in the middle of a fight, what the hell), her eyes glint and her lips curve upwards to form an infuriating grin.
“Did you just moan?”
Or, the one where Kate and Yelena take a quick break from fighting to fall in love.

Summary
Some heroes were made by fate. Kate Bishop had made herself.
Yelena takes in the sight of Kate’s arms covered in Minion-themed bandaids, the black eye creeping out under the obnoxious purple frames of her custom sunglasses; Lucky’s dog leash tangles between the archer’s legs and she stumbles in an attempt to remain standing.
“Kate,” Yelena states flatly, “you look like a total asshole.” Kate nods like she knows this already.
OR: the underground criminal network bites back: in which kate bishop crushes on her roommate, runs the bodega out of bandaids, and tells her mom to fuck off. oh, and drags along an assassin (hot) and two dogs (brainless) with her.

Could We Forget All the Ways We're Broken by Adimnos

Summary
Yelena’s eyes studied her, the intensity branding Kate’s skin in a way she’d never be able to forget. She smelled like expensive perfume and warmth and Kate was drowning in it.
Coldness pressed between them when Yelena stepped away from her.
“You do not belong here. You will get yourself killed and that is not my problem if you die because you are stupid.”
Yelena turned and walked toward the door of Kate’s room, careless, like she had no qualms about a counter-attack; like nothing Kate could do would ever pose a threat to her.

Summary
Yelena cracks an eye open and looks over at her. "We live in different worlds, Kate Bishop."
"Not so different that we aren't still sitting in the same dive bar eating the same weird pizza and drinking the same shitty beer," Kate mumbles, and Yelena laughs. It's a genuine sound, bright and almost shocking for how carefree it sounds. When she finally stops laughing, she grabs the last slice of pizza and tears it in two. She slides half of it over to Kate and nods as she takes a bite of her own piece.
"That is true, Kate Bishop. That is true."
OR
Clint is convinced Kate and Yelena are dating, Kate is determined to prove that he's wrong, and she and Yelena are both maybe in denial about the fact that they might be more than just Very Good Friends.

"I made an educated guess,” she says, leaning to press her forehead against Kate’s. “Issues with your mother, overachiever, heroic aspirations….” Yelena’s fingers tighten in Kate’s hair, earning a groan from her. She smirks. Kate feels it in her knees. “Do you want to be good for me, Kate Bishop?”
