Summary
Don’t get her wrong, Yelena is still very much a deadly assassin. She’s just a deadly assassin with a day-job. She needs to maintain a living someway in this ridiculously expensive city. Being a boxing gym trainer’s not that bad, sure it’s a little boring and repetitive but it lets her stay in shape and it pays the bills. But lately Yelena has becoming increasingly distracted by a certain tall, archery-obsessed gym member who has no idea how to use the speedbag… moron.
And Kate? Kate’s just happy to be there.

Summary
“This is what I imagine,” Kate breathes out, unable to contain her thoughts for much longer, her hands tightening their grip in messy blonde hair.
“What?” Yelena pants out.
“Every time we argue and your eyes get a little darker, this is what I imagine us doing.”
Kate can feel Yelena smile against her. And a second later Yelena looks up at Kate from her position, and sure enough, that infuriating smirk is there. “Why do you think I keep picking fights with you?”

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.”

Summary
After an eventful Christmas Eve - fighting Yelena, Kingpin, and arresting her mother - Kate Bishop just wanted to come to terms with a lesson on heroics she thought had come unfairly quickly and what better way to do that than drowning her sorrows at a dive bar?
And if Yelena turned up with a bottle of vodka and the vaguest overture of friendship...Kate was going to be suspicious but she could do with a friend.

Slow burn is not an apt enough of a term to describe this story. I'm obsessed.
