Summary
"How long?"
“How long what?”
“Have you been in love with her.”
Had it been said in any other way, by anyone else, at any other time, Yelena would have broken their neck.
Or
Yelena doesn't do feelings.
She certainly doesn't have feelings about Kate getting engaged to Eli, she simply thinks her best friend can do better. But if Kate won't listen to her superb advice, what can she do? She doesn't have any horse in this game, or whichever of those ridiculous American sayings Kate is always using. She doesn’t care that her best friend, the most compassionate person she knows, is promising her future to someone who peaked in high school and now coasts on his grandparents' legacy.
Kate can do whatever she wants, Yelena doesn’t care.

Bookmarker's Notes
The bistro was perfect—intimate lighting, soft jazz drifting through the air, the kind of place designed for romance. But Yelena hadn't anticipated how distracting her girlfriend would be across the candlelit table, how that particular smile would make it impossible to focus on anything else.
Her girlfriend.
Lunch had ended twenty minutes ago, their plates cleared, but neither of them had made any move to leave. Kate's foot was hooked around Yelena's ankle beneath the table, and when she leaned forward to steal a bite of Yelena's dessert, Yelena caught her by the chin and kissed her instead.
"Mmm," Kate hummed against her lips, her hand sliding up Yelena's thigh under the table. "You taste like chocolate."
"You're impossible," Yelena murmured, but she was already leaning in again, her fingers threading through Kate's hair.
The kiss deepened, and Yelena's other hand found Kate's waist, pulling her closer. Kate made a soft sound that went straight to Yelena's core, and suddenly the hand on her thigh was higher, more insistent—
"MA'AM, THIS IS A WENDY'S!"
They sprang apart like teenagers caught by their parents. Kamala was standing next to their table, tray in hand, eyes wide with mock scandal. She gestured broadly at the other diners, several of whom were pointedly looking away.
"Oh my god," Yelena breathed, her face burning hot.
Kate had gone bright red, but she was also fighting back laughter, her shoulders shaking. "Kamala—"
"I don't want to hear it!" Kamala declared dramatically. "There are children here! Well, there aren't, but there could be!" She paused, then grinned wickedly. "Next time I'm telling Natasha.”
Yelena dropped her face into her hands with a groan while Kate dissolved into helpless giggles beside her.

Summary
Kate's dream of joining the Avengers—fine, the Young Avengers, but still—is finally becoming reality! The team is gelling, training is intense but rewarding, and she's living the life she always wanted. Sure, the paparazzi are relentless and Twitter is a nightmare, but those are minor annoyances.
When Yelena needs a fake girlfriend for an undercover mission, Kate doesn’t hesitate to volunteer. It just makes sense: they’ve been friends for months and they can fuck with Valentina.
They just have to convince the world they're in love while taking down a dangerous organization and trying not to ruin their friendship in the process. But hey, at least Kate gets to spend more time with her favorite Russian! If only she could figure out what's real and what's for the cameras...
Or
The self-indulgent Friends to Fake Dating to Actually Dating story nobody asked for.

Bookmarker's Notes
"I just—he looked so lonely, Yelena. And he's carrying around all this guilt about something he couldn't control. It reminded me of..." Kate, the most genuinely kind and caring and considerate person Yelena had ever encountered, who took everyone’s feelings and boundaries and experiences into consideration, had risked experiencing the cold darkness of the Void because Bob reminded her of—
"Of what?" Yelena's heart was pounding so loud she was sure Kate could hear it.
"Of you," Kate’s voice was quiet but her words echoed through Yelena's soul. "The bits you've told me about the Red Room, about all the things you were forced to do. You carry that same kind of guilt, even though none of it was your fault either."
"Kate Bishop," Yelena's breath caught. She blinked hard against the sting behind her eyes. "You are going to ruin me.”
"That's not—"
"I mean it as a compliment," she sighed, trying to find the words and the courage to say them out loud.
You have ruined me. Ruined the weapon I was. I used to be a machine—unattached, untethered—but then you came, and now I can't stop wanting things I've never had, never thought I deserved.
She almost got there.
"You make me want to be... softer. You make me think that maybe I deserve—"
