Summary
If you had asked Eloise Bridgerton to name the thing she least wanted in all the world, it would be the thing she has now promised to do: escorting Cressida Cowper to the furthest extremity of the kingdom so she can be married to an old man utterly undeserving of her.

Summary
Eloise Bridgerton is trapped in an ice house with the most awful person in the world. The most awful person in the world isn't Napoleon, but the insufferable, vain, and extremely rude Cressida Cowper. Unfortunately, the confined space seems to be having a strange effect on both of them. Eloise can't really explain why what happens next happens next, but nor can she stop thinking about it.

Summary
Cressida’s smile is small, kind, her pale hand warm when she reaches across the table to grip Eloise’s wrist over the cuff of her glove. It’s a gentle touch, there and gone, but the warmth of Cressida’s naked fingers lingers.
[Or: Five times the new Lady Penwood surprises Miss Eloise Bridgerton.]

Summary
Had she bloody missed someone breaking into her flat?!
“Hah, no,” A smooth and elegant voice came from nowhere and Eloise jumped. Suddenly- She had no need for the caffeine boost as scalding hot tea sloshed over her hands, “What of yours would I possibly want to steal?”
Eloise kept her eyes clenched tightly shut, hoping she might wake up from whatever this dream-
“Not, a dream.”
Her eyes flew open as annoyance flared, what did this thing keep interrupting… Things she hadn’t been saying.
Sure enough, there in the chair across from her was… Something.

Summary
“You look good in my clothes."
“I look good in anything, Kate Bishop,” Yelena says matter-of-factly, grabbing the remote from the top of the dresser before unceremoniously dropping down on top of the covers, making herself at home in Kate’s bed.
Her smile morphs into a more guarded frown when Kate lies down next to her.
"The fact I am in your bed right now does not mean we are going to have sex.”
“Okay,” Kate says, stretching the word. “To be honest I didn’t think we were.”

Summary
Of all the places Yelena imagined finding a girlfriend, the dumpsters behind her building were, for some reason, the last place she’d ever think to look. But hey, at least now she can finally get her mother to stop asking why she's still single.
or
Kate is a vigilante with too many injuries to count. Yelena is a former assassin with some questionable first aid skills—that’s almost the same as a doctor, right?
/
Yelena never becomes a contract killer. Kate never puts on the Ronin suit. Years later, their paths cross anyway.Bookmarked by breakingstanding

Summary
Kate always seems to check in when she needs it most. Those blood-red hours of the night where she hangs her head off the bed like a murderer sentenced to a guillotine, waiting for the blade to fall. Those corner-of-the-room moments where she knits shadows over her body like a blanket, lets them weigh her down and down and down into nothing. Where she thinks about her sister. Where she thinks about the Red Room.
In a quiet, sheltered corner of Yelena's heart, it's always December. Kate decides to make it mean something softer.

Summary
"You're illegal," Valentina says, blunt, impatient, annoyed.
"Undocumented," Mel corrects hastily.
"And?" Yelena raises an eyebrow. "Would you like one of my many entirely legitimate American passports?" She folds her arms lazily over her chest.
"The world knows your real name now." Valentina folds her hands primly in her lap. "Your passports won't help you. You need another way to legitimize yourself. This is the fastest way."

Summary
“Hello, Kate Bishop, you can put the knife down.”
Kate frowns, tucking the knife closer to her side without thinking. “I’m not holding a knife.”
“You’re a terrible liar,” Yelena says, head tilted to the side in the most disarming way possible. “My knife is not currently in my hand,” Yelena holds up both hands, palms facing Kate. “See?” She wiggles her fingers and Kate swallows the lump in her throat. “I’m not here to fight or frighten you.”
Kate scoffs, “you don’t frighten me.”
“Not today, no.”

Summary
Glancing over at Yelena, she is still reading whatever was sent to her. “What is it?”
Those green eyes flicker over towards Kate then, just as Yelena turns her phone away so Kate can't read it. “What does yours say?”
Kate shrugs, “you know, details about a thing…might be the same as your thing.”
“Maybe.” Yelena maintains eye contact and Kate finds herself getting lost again. Wanting to push and tease, to wipe that growing smirk off of Yelena’s mouth with her own. “Ava can be very detail oriented when she wants to be.”
“Yeah, yeah same…Kamala, details as big as the fists she can make, you know?”
Yelena shakes her head. “I don’t know that, actually. She doesn’t speak to me much.”
“Yeah you kind of intimidate her.”
“Good.”

Summary
Yelena is standing right in front of her, arms still in front of her like she’s ready to block a punch (because that’s what they’re doing, they’re literally in the middle of a fight, what the hell), her eyes glint and her lips curve upwards to form an infuriating grin.
“Did you just moan?”
Or, the one where Kate and Yelena take a quick break from fighting to fall in love.
