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
The first bit of flower she coughs up is a yellow rose petal.
It’s horribly unfair, actually, because Wednesday hates roses and the sheer intensity of the yellow is enough that staring at it actually, physically hurts her eyes. She would have preferred dahlias—the black ones, naturally—but if it had to be a rose, couldn’t it have been the thorny portion? Or at least a red rose, so she could occasionally lift a handkerchief to her mouth and imagine what it would have been like to be a 19th-century spinster, coughing up spots of blood before an inevitable death by consumption?
Oh, right. It also means she’s going to die.
-
In which Wednesday—despite her firm belief that it's impossible for someone like her—contracts hanahaki disease, and she and Enid learn what it means to define themselves on their own terms.
Post-canon (S1), one-shot.

Summary
Lying for months about having a girlfriend so that her mother will stop her biphobic comments is close to blowing up in Enid’s face as she's about to leave for her Christmas break alone. But her hot, spooky roommate really loathes her tears so a plan to prevent her from admitting to lying is formed.

Summary
“No more apologising, okay? I just wish you’d told me sooner."
Vi huffs at her. Sure. Sorry, cupcake, no funny business—we only hit Hand-Holding a couple hours ago. Try again next year.
“I would have done things a bit differently," Caitlyn goes on, "if I’d known you’re asexual.”
He falters.
“That I’m what?”
----------
Caitlyn is the kind city slicker in town to visit her brother. Vi is the shy cowboy who intervenes during a moment of car trouble. One has a lot to learn about himself, and one has a few things of her own she might have been ignoring too long. Good thing they have each other, ain't it?
