    Summary

    “We’ll be doing this again, then.”

    Vi doesn't look up from the buttons of Caitlyn's blouse, still opened and baring her chest to the quiet serenity of the office. Frown lines dance across her forehead as Vi tries to fit the tiny things into their respective frustrating holes.

    “Seems like that's kinda the point of this whole bargain, isn't it?”

    Caitlyn furrows her eyebrows. “You keep talking about an arrangement, a… bargain, but I’m not sure I follow you. What – how exactly is this supposed to work?”

    Vi laughs, and Caitlyn supposes she must be quite funny in her ignorance. “How it works is you get me all these nice things I never even asked for, and in return, I fuck your smart brains out. Simple as that.”

    Simple as that."

    or,

    Caitlyn Kiramman is Vi's older best friend, incredibly gorgeous savior, and sugar mommy. It's all going quite well, really, with one tiny exception. Caitlyn herself doesn't seem fully aware of the situation.

    Summary

    "There's something wrong with me. An emptiness. I thought throwing myself into work would make it go away but....."
    Alexei regards her with concern. Melina squeezes her hand gently.

    "It is okay to feel lost, Yelena. In my opinion, perhaps you need a friend."

    She would be okay with the idea of a friend, if she was not sure that her entire world would come to an end if she lost Kate Bishop. Because Yelena always loses the people who matter most.

    Or: glimpses in time that span across many months of Yelena pining for Kate. I gave Yelena her own pov and we're hanging on for the ride.

    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 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

    “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.)
