Summary
Hollywood, 1939. Amid the glitz and the glitter of a bustling young movie town at the height of its golden age, the Hollywood Tower Hotel was a star in its own right; a beacon for the show business elite. Enter Yelena Belova, a Soviet spy who was looking forward to a few days of well-earned rest. Expecting to rub elbows with fellow guests who made a living playing pretend, she met a bellhop instead—Bob Reynolds, a man who was painfully real. A man whose existence seemed to transcend dimensions.

I Got You, Babe by Gophersmith for Boblena Nation

Summary
Yelena was acting differently and Bob took immediate notice. She was distracted, less calculated, often so lost in thought she would seem forgetful. He was worried about her. Well, granted, he worried about her all the time. But this was an interesting case-- he suspected he knew very well what was causing her grief but he also was not sure in the slightest how to approach the situation. And it was far too sensitive a situation for him to bring up anyway. All he could do was be there for her. If she wanted to talk, he would be there then too...
Bob Reynolds would do anything for the love of his life. He would give her the entire world if she wanted it. But what happens when she wants something he cannot give her-- not in the "traditional" sense at least. After being poked and proded by the public about when she would have children, Yelena Belova begins to consider adoption. Bob is with her of course, even if he is scared to death of the idea.

I'm In A Better Place (Except For A Thousand Mistakes) by SwisherShueyBride
Fandoms: Thunderbolts (Movie 2025), Marvel Cinematic Universe
18 Sep 2025
Tags
Summary
She wants to do a lot of things, but she doesn't. She wants to say it's because she knows better than to start something with Valentina in the public eye, but she can't. Not when her hands are shaking and there's sweat beading on her forehead.
She bites her wobbling lip as she tears her gaze away from Valentina's paws on Bucky, passing to Alexei and Ava's stares. A look that reminds Yelena of when Natasha saw something foul in the streets and rushed in to stop it.
None of them rush. None of them move. And when she blinks, it's over. Valentina stalks over to the front as she chatters on, and her shadow covers the flashing cameras for a moment. Yelena spares a look at Bucky, but he's looking away already.
Her stomach flips, and she tries to ignore the way her lip wobbles and her eyes burn.
Yelena and her ability to somehow let everything fly by, including the things she stops her hands from reaching.
NOTE: please read author's note for further warnings! This explores both Yelena and Bucky's trauma and while nothing is explicit, this is not subtle. Please be careful!

Summary
Yelena pulls her phone out again, this time tapping in Bob’s phone number. She leans on her kitchen counter, waiting whilst it rings. It doesn't take long for him to pick up.
“What did you do?” What an opener, she thought.
“Wow, Bob. Not every time I call you is when I am in trouble.” She mimes being offended despite the fact that Bob couldn't even see her face.
“No but… statistically.” That was fair, actually.
“Do you have the professor's email? Phone number? I need his help.” She crouches down next to Mister Kitty Cat, gently scratching behind his ears.
“Yelena. I'm gonna ask again. What did you do?”
“I got a cat.”
“Oh. That's actually more tame than I was expecting.” Pun intended? Mister Kitty Cat finishes eating, sitting up properly and watching her with those wide eyes that always make cats look kinda high. He probably was. High off tuna.
She stays silent, shifting her weight to fully sit down next to the cat. “He isn't mine.”
“There it is.”
or
A cat hops into Yelena's apartment.

Summary
This is Natasha signing their lives over.
The first time was bad enough. Natasha, a plane, Yelena sobbing, clawing at Melina’s chest, and Natasha still took the time to wonder if she could turn the whole thing around and live to see the other side.
She didn’t.
(Maybe she should have.)
And Natasha can consider all of this. She does. She lets it weigh on her, and then she blinks and breathes and sorts it away into a box in a corner of her mind covered in a thick layer of dust because the second world is infinitely more important.
The second: this is a chance.
This is, maybe, their only chance.

Summary
They say the past has a funny way of catching up with you, when you least expect it.
While Natasha tries her best to bury it, and leave who she insists she once was in the past. Yelena can’t help but grasp onto the blurry memories she has, the memories of a blue haired girl whose name she can hardly remember.
No matter how hard one pulls the rope away or towards one another, sooner or later they will meet back in the middle. Whether their reunion is one of embrace, and love. Or one of malice, and hate.
Time will only tell…

Summary
A fic in which Yelena has OCD and one "off" thing sends her into a thought spiral that she can't get out of.
(title from I Don't Wanna Be Me by Type O Negative)
Also, this has very clear depictions of the pretty rough OCD I deal with, and is entirely inspired by my own experience trying to go to bed last night. Could this be OOC? Could this be triggering? Yes to both, please read the tags before you read any other part of this.
