    Summary

    “The exit wound. Repeat what I just did.” Yelena thrusts the needle and thread back into Kate’s hands, leaning forward so that the archer can access her back.

    “Guess they don’t teach manners at Black Widow academy” Kate regrets the words as soon as they’re out of her mouth, she’s yanked forwards by the front of her suit, tip of her nose brushing against Yelena's.

    “Say something smart again. I will cut your tongue out.” The widow spits.

    Their eyes lock, and the atmosphere in the room shifts for what feels like the umpteenth time tonight. Kate’s gaze flicks to Yelena’s lips, tinted crimson thanks to a small split.

     

    Kiss her.

     

    ————

     

    Set just after the events of Hawkeye.

    Yelena struggles with her new found freedom. Kate’s life has fallen apart. Clint is sick of both their shit. Sonya is a wind up merchant, and someone wants Kate dead. Maybe somewhere along the way everyone can find some kind of redemption.

    AKA, Kate and Yelena get their happy ending.

    Summary

    “Yeah, unless I don’t finish my degree.” It’s a grumpy little mumble, barely meant for Yelena, but she responds to it nevertheless.

    “What do you mean?“ she demands. “You only have a small amount of time left! Why would you stop now?”

    “I don’t know,” Kate murmurs, and Yelena is bewildered to hear a faint echo in her own emptiness, coming from nearly six thousand kilometers away. “I just don’t really know what to do now, I guess. Clint says I’m the new Hawkeye, but that’s not official or anything. And even when it is, it’s going to be a lot of training. So I’m waiting to wait, or something, and — and I don’t know why I’m talking to you about this, actually.”

    “Sometimes, it’s nice to just talk,” Yelena thinks and then says. “But I don’t think you should drop out of school, Kate Bishop. School is cool.”

    (Yelena decides to go to college. It just so happens to be the same one Kate Bishop attends.)

    Summary

    "Let's not get it twisted, Harkness." Rio tightens her grip on Agatha's throat and it sets every nerve in her body ablaze. "You're only alive at all because I allow it."

    "I'm alive," Agatha snarls back. "Because there's not a damn thing in this world or the next that makes you feel the way I do."

    -- or, the many meetings between Death and the witch Agatha Harkness over the centuries.

    Summary

    Rio stared at her quietly, slowly tapping her foot against the tiled floor. A wrinkle formed between her eyebrows from thinking about Agatha's predicament, and the lawyer sighed, waving her hand dismissively.
    "Stop trying to find a solution to this. It will give you a stroke."
    "Marry me," Agatha was glad she had finished her drink because she would spill it all over the bar at the words. She blinked to regain her composure, her mind scrambling for a teasing remark to fire back at Rio, but her tongue could only form one word.
    "What?"
    "I'm not a stranger from Craigslist, and I know probably most psychopaths would say that, but I'm not a psychopath. So, marry me."
    ---
    Agatha learns about a clause in her mother's will that makes her unable to inherit Evanora's fortune unless she gets married by forty. While drowning her sorrows at a bar, she meets Rio, a PhD student working behind the bar to make ends meet, who proposes an insane solution to her problem. Or rather, proposes to Agatha.
    Everything spirals out of control after that.
