    Summary

    Jessica’s hand curls into a fist. “It wasn’t my fault,” she says, very low and very, very hard. “You blame it on me and I swear to God—"

    “My brother thinks I’m dead. My aunt’s paying me a couple hundred bucks a month to keep it that way.”

    Jessica’s fist uncurls. Her eyes stay hard.

    Hope’s almost enjoying this, spewing all the boiling bitter ugliness no amount of therapy, meds, or schnapps can fix, but her next words make her want to spit.

    “I’m your problem now.”

    Summary

    Jessica Jones is doing okay by her own, admittedly low, standards. She has an actual checking account, is not currently considered a person of interest by the NYPD, and the ice cream truck that used to park outside her bedroom window at midnight blaring Turkey in the Straw finally found another block to torment.

    But it wouldn't be her life without a complication.

    Summary

    When they get together again two weeks later after a long – and admittedly fun – series of texts, the first question Jessica asks is “What the fuck is up with all the emojis? You seemed so normal.”

    “I don’t have a lot of creative outlets,” Natasha says, scanning the street from behind her binoculars. “If we’re gonna be friends, you’re gonna need to tolerate my one form of artistic expression.”

    Jess snorts. “Who says I want to be friends, Romanoff?”

    Natasha smiles to herself and lifts a hand to adjust the focus. “Workplace proximity associates?”

     

    [AU: After the Battle of New York, Natasha Romanoff and Clint Barton never signed on for the Avengers full-time. Instead, they quit SHIELD. And bought a building in Bed-Stuy. And somehow, accidentally, ended up joining the Defenders. And now they're stuck with friends who are superpeople in spite of all their attempts to avoid it.

    Basically, have you ever wanted the Widow & Hawkeye Netflix series, in which MCU canon and Fraction's Hawkeye could somehow find their way to a happy marriage? This is that.]
